really wish moka pots would get more internationally known. They are dirt cheap, dirt simple, and can bring good coffee into precisely those poor homes that need such small life hacks the most.

Things like Aeropress are even simpler. And really poor houses make excellent coffee in just a small pot -- you probably know it as Turkish coffee -- and have been doing this for decades and centuries.

Yes, tried the Aeropress when ThinkGeek.com introduced it, then eventually returned to the moka pot or other espresso or quasi-espresso makers because I missed the burnt flavor.

The burnt flavor is mostly a function of the roast of the beans, could possible be a function of the grinder, and is affected by water temperature.

You're used to the taste that your moka pot provides and you like it -- fine. But saying that everyone else should switch to them would be a 'typical nose/tongue" fallacy :-)
