> It was a smart and cute little device when it was invented, but let’s be honest, it’s highly inconvenient, and it’s not making a particularly good coffee either.
Sorry, but how much more inconvenient is it to clean the Moka compared to Nespresso or regular espresso machines? Their cleanup process is so much more complicated and requires much more time than just rinsing the Moka in water and removing any residual coffee grounds on the pot.
> It’s also annoying to clean, and you need to cool it down before making a second pot. If you cool it down too fast, you’ll create a vacuum, and you won’t be able to unscrew the thing.
That's why you should buy bigger pots. In theory, a standard sized Moka pot can make 6 cups of espresso. I had my family over and we had Moka coffee every day, with a standard sized Moka pot we could make just enough coffee for 3 people in a single brew.
I do agree that it can be tricky to get the right coffee good for your taste, but then it depends on your laziness to do the coffee. If you don't want any work at all, just buy a Nespresso, or a smart coffee machine so that you can brew your coffee from your phone.
