The important info you left out, what grinder you used and the settings!

I've had a espresso machine back in Sweden, I bought it just half a year before I then suddenly moved to South Korea. Here for the past 5 years I didn't have any so I've been using a simple filter coffee machine machine with a build in cheap grinder. It was OK, but I've been telling my wife about the amazingness of espresso etc. so this year she ordered a espresso machine for my birthday. But because it's a special thing coming from Italy with a special color, etc. one month after my birthday it still didn't arrive even though she ordered it 2 months before my birthday :D

Anyway the grinder arrived on my birthday and it's a really nice one, so I started using it and switched from the filter coffee machine to the Italian Mocca Pot I bought when I moved, but never really used because I didn't have a separate grinder. With this new grinder the coffe from the mocca pod is amazing! So much more flavour, and intescity because it really can now do it's magic. So it's a good bridge until the machine arrives.

    Ahh you're right, fixed.

    Sounds amazing, what's the name of the grinder?

    I recently started doing my Moka Pot with cold / room temp water depending on what's in the fridge, and it became a lot more clear than I did it with higher temps or boiling. Apparently they discovered that the moka pot wasn't actually brewing because of steam as previously thought.

    It's the Mazzer Phillos, a single dose grinder.

    Hm, I never thought of buying Decaf beans, and I only drink coffe in the morning, but I should look into it especially once the machine will arrive I might want to make more than one coffe a day :D
