I think this is what they generally say. I am sorry but I am not too well versed with this. I learnt what I needed to know and asked a lot of questions to the local batistas to know how to make the cup I like. Outside that knowledge base, I'm lost. I have this friend who knows a lot about a good extract using the moka pot. I on the other hand may destroy your morning with bad moka pot extraction.

The thing I like most about the immersion dripper is that one can start experimenting with pouring and steeping times in addition to the usual temperature, time, grind size etc. Give it a try. If it doesn't work out, you can still use it as a traditional V60 :)
