I bought a grinder, which today I used for my French press, man what a difference there too. I didn't realize how much a grinder mattered.

My green beans should be in next week, then I will have it all in my control!

I have both the regular Moka pot, and the Moka Muka. The Muka, you add milk/cream to the top. There’s a valve on the center post that pops when the pressure builds, frothing the milk for a nice cappuccino.

What are your thoughts on the Muka VS Moka? You use the milk option often, like doing it that way?

If you like cappuccino, the Mukka does a decent job. I’ve had issues with the valve, leaking from the o-ring. That causes it to not get up to full pressure. Looking online, they’re not cheap pots/parts. I see now they discontinued making it.

I had a Mukka several years ago and I loved that thing. But yeah, the valve and frother ended up malfunctioning and I eventually threw it in the garbage. Too bad it was badly designed.
