This vs phin drip. I already have a phin drip and rarely use it. I am looking at this but I don't see a difference as they both do concentrated coffee. Not any difference than doubling the grounds via drip coffee maker.
Any feedback is appreciated thanks πŸ‘
I bought one a year ago and was creating a mess over stove from leak, the Italian principle is solid but the making is faulty. You need to buy the right quality and size. The one I have barely fit one person for coffee, espresso was good enough but wasn't my intention as not enough pressure compared to a good electrical with high pressure. Hope that help

The only Moka pot that made sense to me was the bialetti Mukka pot, because it made a jumbo latte for one person all in one go, and it was about 80% as good as a proper one made with a real espresso machine, maybe 65%. If you really want drip coffee this isn't it, if you really want espresso this isn't it, it's something in between and it's finicky and you can't walk away from it without setting a timer, etc etc

Moka pots like this are a classic way of preparing coffee. If you've never tried it and you like coffee, just try it. Cost is a rounding error compared to beans.

Just be aware that moka pots, while cheap and easy to use and capable of brewing great coffee, are one of the brewing methods most sensitive to grind quality. Specifically, they are very prone to burning coffee if you grind too finely, have an inconsistent grind, or have coffee dust left over in your grounds.

If you don't have a nice grinder, a moka pot might still be a fine choice if you get your coffee at a store or restaurant you visit regularly. Just use the grinder at the store/roaster, store the grounds in a vacuum canister, and only buy enough for a few days at a time (a week at most).

One thing to consider if you end up loving the brew is that electric moka pots make the same brew but require basically zero attention. Fill them up, turn them on, don't worry about sticking around for the exact minute it finishes brewing. They start at ~$35, so a slightly bigger investment, but still a rounding error compared to beans if you use it for more than a couple months.

I have this exact one that I got back in 2020. It brews something between a drip brew and an espresso machine in terms of strength, but closer to a machine. This 6 cup one makes about 10oz of coffee using maybe 3 or 4 tablespoons of coffee grounds. I do enjoy using it, just a pain to clean afterwards. The coffee it brews is nice and strong, if that's your thing. I usually get the water to a boil in the bottom chamber by itself, then use a towel to get the top part screwed on then back on the stove with a very low heat. Takes about 2 minutes for coffee to bubble through to the top chamber. Once it starts to spurt out, I close the lid and turn off the heat. Pour it into a cup and leave the last little bits behind, it's usually very dark and bitter so I don't pour that into my cup.

The difference from a phin is pressure. A moka pot boils water in the bottom chamber and the steam pressure pushes it up through the grounds, so the result is stronger and more concentrated than drip, though still well short of true espresso pressure. One practical note, it's aluminum, so hand wash only.

Bought this Imusa when I ruined my 20-30 year old Bialetti Moka Jr. :-( Tried replacing the handle but apparently the older ones aren't made the same and I just couldn't punch out the retaining pin. Still have it though. Also bought a 3-cup Imusa, too.

Bought one of this exact listing last February. Was careful about use and it still made a terrible mess. This is a cheap unit and it feels like it, would not recommend.

A more recent study states "...preparing coffee in an aluminum moka pot results in a maximum of 4% to TWI (Tolerable Weekly Intake), if an average of 3.17 L coffee (roughly two 8oz cups per day) is consumed per week, even if the pots are washed in the dishwasher, against the explicit instructions of the manufacturer." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28458988/
90% of Italian households have one of these sitting on the stove. Myself included.

Thanks, for some reason that didn't even occur to me that it's slightly pressurized.
