    Understandable, moka pot coffee isn’t my favorite, just thought it might be a serviceable budget friendly option. I’ve had decent cups out of mine by preheating the water before putting it in the bottom and putting an aeropress filter on top of the bed of coffee grounds.

    Those piston machines are insane and the grinders are even more expensive. It may just be a thing that’s best kept as a nice treat when you’re in Italy then.

      Yeah that’s exactly how I approach it. I’ll keep on trying stuff to see if it works for me (Croatia does coffee quite decently, I think the proximity to Italy has effect).

      But I’m not too disappointed, like I said I’m not an habitual caffeine consumer.

      But it’s good to explore the extent of my snobbery, how rare it is to have a cup that really satisfies me is quite important to realize.

      Thanks for the suggestions! It’s great that you took the time to think along with me. I’ll raise my glass of sparkling water to you! (my own habitual daily drink I have trouble doing without)
