I think it's meant to measure how many cups of espresso they produce. I think we can give Bialetti a pass. Did they even use imperial measurements in Italy 3000 years ago when they invented the Moka pot?

There needs to be an industry-wide reckoning among coffee equipment manufacturers with the unrealistically low volume that constitutes a "cup"

despite the way i wrote that, i'm more concerned about paper waste than i am about capacity

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.

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.

yeah that's been my impression with french press as well. guess i'm gonna dive into the moka pot world

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.

i love my moka pot but i mess it up horribly like 50% of the time

well mcdonald's ad campaign taught me a flat white is like a stronger latte with less milk and they're never wrong

hell yes

vest

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.

oo i will try it, love cold brew but ofc the time it takes has made me never do it on my own

thank you

i reported this post because its 2 fucked up

Thank you chief

yes!!! yes!!! nice!!!
