Anyone found a good option for cone filters? Everything in my local stores is from the US. I have been using a reusable filter but i am tired of the mud at the bottom of my cup.

      Moka pots don’t make espresso, only an espresso machine makes espresso

        but if you want espresso-like coffee without spending espresso machine-like money, the moka pot is a good option. It brews with pressure like an espresso machine, and produces coffee with a similar concentration to espresso with trace amounts of crema.

        obviously not true espresso, but they are often called stovetop espresso makers nonetheless.

        originally from Italy, still made there from some brands, doesn’t use disposable filters, yet brews with minimal sediment. Reasonable option for those looking to deamericanify their morning coffee.

          It’s a great option, my parents use their religiously. The coffee is strong enough for making interesting milk drinks so espresso-style is a fair description.

          Just wanted to make sure that readers don’t get confused. The moka pot is pressurized but it’s nowhere near what’s needed for what we contemporarily define as espresso
