I own both. I daily use my AeroPress. I use my Moka about twice a month. They’re both great brewers, but the Moka isn’t for making a good daily cup or espresso. The coffee you get from it is unique. If you make a lot of milk beverages, I think the Moka is a decent way to make coffee for that use, but you’ll also need a good way to froth and steam your milk.

I’d go with an AeroPress and check out the various brew methods available to achieve your desired results.

This is the best possible resource on moka pot brewing. There’s two more in the series, but this is a great way to understand how to get the best possible coffee out of your pot.

I’ve had no issues using the bl touch on a textured bed up to this point, and I’ve been using mine in combination for about 18 months. The bed texture shouldn’t be significant enough if your z offset is appropriately dialed in.

Binder clips are up there with duct tape for the number of times they’ve been a good quick fix! Good chance to stock up and keep a few tubes on hand.

My policy has been to buy multiples of any part I replace. I’ve got a dozen tubes, a hundred nozzles, two beds, and a couple extra belts in my “spare parts” box at the moment. It helps that, often, buying multiple parts seems to drop the overall price per unit by a good bit.

$2200 a month for my rent. Applied for a mortgage that with taxes and insurance would be $1595. Got denied because the age of my accounts is too low (average of 6 years) after paying off my student loans.

This is a great suggestion. I don’t know why I’ve not done this before now. Everything I design has a radius on it and I’ve been doing it the hard way.
