Count me on Team Bialetti Moka. I've had very few home espressos that I thought were better - possibly none - and many that were worse. So I'm just not willing to go down the rabbit hole and wind up with something that won't be an improvement. I'd also put it above a significant portion of espressos I've gotten at artisan/boutique espresso places. And I know how to do it when just waking up.Any tips for good results from a Bialetti? I have one but have found the coffee / espresso to be pretty bitter. I use fresh beans that are finely ground.
My favorite way to make coffee is an Aeropress, followed closely by a French press.
But for espresso, I use a super-automatic because it’s just so convenient.
