Moka Madness

[germantown rob]

robofan,
, thats the way. For the money a moka pot can't be beat. I got myself a Brikka and have found it gives a nice change up to a moka pot and when dialed in is very good.

I leave the insanity and cost of making espresso for crotchety old geezers and coffee shops for now.

You, uh, wanna name any names there old palsy-walsy?

(Speaking for crotchety geezers everywhere - esp. those with espresso machines - it is hard to beat a well turned moka if you have fresh roast and a decent grinder. As always, a good grinder is the first equipment key to great coffee. )

I can't think of any off hand but they exist. I mean how can anyone spend all that money and time to achieve 2oz of liquid that they drink out of a wee little cup with their little finger pointing out to nowhere not be crotchety?
I suppose there is an exception or two out there.

Give me good fresh beans and a couple rocks, a dirty sock and some dirty boiled water over some crappy stale beans in a great burr grinder. I joke, I wouldn't use the sock.
