My favorite coffeemaker: the Bialetti Moka Express Stovetop Percolator

I like my Aeropress. I use an electric water kettle with very little water in it. It boils in under 2 minutes. Then pour just enough of it into the Aeropress, stir, let it steep for 30 to 60 seconds, press it out. Rich, dark espresso. I also make Americano by refilling the reservoir right before pressing, since some dripped out while steeping.

I have a moka pot, but it takes much longer to prep and boil it, as well as cleaning it out afterwards. And the taste is nowhere near the same. Totally different coffee. I don’t hate it, but I tend to use it outside on the bbq when I’m doing yard work.

I also have a cheap Mr. Coffee drip machine. I use that when I have guests and need to have more coffee made and ready to pour.

Aeropress is my everyday coffee. 2 cups in the morning, that’s all I need.
