Moka pot is real coffee to me. I find everything else some sort of compromise - even buying coffee from a barista with an espresso machine. Espresso machines are comparable in coffee quality, the compromise you are making is price for time. That goes for caffe machines with a barista or the fancy machines you can get at home.
I'm surprised to see how few coffee drinkers seem to make coffee on the stove. It's the real deal, and while it takes 5-10 minutes longer, it's the cheapest way to get good coffee.
Love a Moka Pot. It's all we used to have growing up and still enjoy having it. But it's not the same as an espresso. Everyone has a preference for how they like coffee, I wouldn't necessarily call anything other than a Moka Pot a compromise, just a preference.
Moka Pot is what I'll always recommend to someone who wants to make coffee at home and is starting out with nothing. In my opinion it's the cheapest and easiest way to get good coffee with little effort.
On the topic of stove coffee, have you ever tried Turkish coffee?
If you happen to be in Melbourne, I ❤️ Istanbul on Lygon St does a good Turkish Coffee with Turkish Delight.
I have! It's black magic to me how much coffee they get out of that little pot. It looks like the coffee is coming out of the sand itself!
I like Turkish Coffee, but I doubt I'd choose it every day over espresso-style.
