Hey everyone, I'm looking to expand my coffee gear and am planning on acquiring a moka pot and an aeropress. Which should I get first? I'm planning on getting both, but one not for a few months.

I haven't used Moka Pot so I can't comment on the direct comparison of the two. AeroPress was a little too clean for my taste. Turns out I like a hint of grit in my coffee and and miss it when it's not there. I got a 12 oz french press, probably knockoff of this model https://www.amazon.com/Bodum-Chambord-French-Coffee-Stainless/dp/B00005LM0R and never looked back.

Did you try a metal filter in the Aeropress?
It let's just a bit of the fines through and would likely provide what you are looking for.

But, that french press looks great also.

I did try the metal filter! I was optimistic when I ordered it; it sounded perfect. It didn't do it for me. I guess I am just a french press boy at heart.
