My favorite coffeemaker: the Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Percolator

Sorry, but these devices make revolting coffee. Look at what remains in the bottom section. It ain’t the pure water you poured into it - it’s coffee.

Nope. Mine is very definitely just water.

@burllamb

These are percolators in use but not design.

Nope.

Coffee percolator

Moka pot

One of these things is not like the other.

@burllamb

The coffee resulting tastes like hot metal and overheated silicone gaskets. Yuk.

Nope. Not to me at least.

Meanwhile, what the heck is wrong with hand-drip or French press? French press is even easier than a Moka pot to use. There should be no contest here.

Nothing wrong with them, they just produce basically a completely different drink.

Plus if I want one espresso-size cup of black coffee, I don’t want to mess about with a cafetière.

If I’m making coffee for Kaffee und Kuchen, sure - cafetière all the way.
