I shared some days ago my daily barely-coffee choices. Here guests were over and we got the big guns: a Bialetti moka (gotten second hand from an OG Italian), locally roasted coffee beans, and a hand grinder.
Very nice! My setup was a hand grinder and moka pot for a while before getting into espresso. It’s a great combo. I like to use an AeroPress filter in mine personally, I think it makes a big difference in the final cup.
