French presses are good for both tea and coffee, and IMO are much easier to use.
If you get a moka pot, make sure to get the deceptively-named '6-cup one', which will make about 3 "espresso shots" worth (and maybe one cup in volume.) They make strong flavored coffee that you'll want to dilute to make a "standard" cup.
Moka pots are definitely a lot trickier to use, I've used one maybe 100 times and have yet to get the hang of it.

can't speak to moka pots, but french presses tend to make the coffee quite bitter or "impure" for lack of a better way to describe it. i make decaf in mine sometimes when i'm too lazy to clean the machine, and i'm satisfied with the result but it's not amazing by any stretch of the imagination.

It's good!!
I might recommend doing it in two, smaller batches. I ground very fine, and lost about 1/3 the cup because the puck in my aeropress was practically solid.

Have you considered getting pourover equipment with higher capacity? French press coffee is always going to be inferior to well made pourover imho, and while moka tastes amazing as a small shot I have my doubts about diluting it.
