Very long article, from which I was unable to ascertain what was so brilliant about the Moka Pot. Unfortunately, this gizmo no longer provides the most convenient coffee-making method ("pods" seem to be more "convenient"), nor the least expensive in terms of equipment cost (that would be the "pour-over"). I can't see a niche for them today, aside from novelty or nostalgia.
- coolca 5y agoNiche? Everyone uses them in Italy.

- mtrycz2 5y agoMoka (or its lesser known refinement, Brikka) is still the most convenient to me. It's small. It's 0 maintenance. It's works during blackouts or on a camping stove. Maybe not as fast as an applicance, but still fast. Compared to a bulky, single-purpose appliance which gives an aftertaste after a couple of months, yeah it's more convenient.
