For the most part I agree with you and find the fussing over minutiae to be on par with audiophiles for silliness. However, I will say that a couple times a week I'll have a really good cup of coffee made with my moka pot because it really does give the coffee a refined quality that's just far superior to what I make with my plastic pourover cone. It's also kind of a freaking nuisance that I just couldn't bear on a daily basis, but it does really make great coffee.
- eschneider 4y agoYeah, I find a moka pot coffee the optimal (for me) balance between effort and quality. Nothing complicated about using the moka pot, but it does need to be watch because overbrewing will ruin it.
- ValentineC 4y agoI like James Hoffmann's method for this, which is surprisingly from a channel that's not his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpyBYuu-wJI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpyBYuu-wJI
- eschneider 4y agoI'm pretty sure I learned from that when I started out with my moka pot. :>
- sammalloy 4y agoThe trick is to boil water in the microwave first, then add it to the moka pot. That way you only have to watch the moka pot for a minute or two.
- eschneider 4y agoI boil the water first in teapot, otherwise it's in contact with the coffee too long and the results are bitter. And yeah, just a few minutes watching, but it does require attention. :)
