The cup you drink will tell all, who'ni.

The coffee came out alright if I say so myself Dan! I used a traditional Blade
grinder, but i took a little extra time mixing the grinds to get them as fine as
possible. I will be on the hunt for a "burr" grinder as this will now become my
primary way of making coffee until I buy another french press. (Which will have to be soon because that is how I make my tea!)

One observation though. The "yield" was only about a 3rd of a cup! So it was
definitely espresso that I was drinking. Do you let the pot cool down, and cook
another pot if you want a bigger cup of coffee? (Or should I just buy some espresso cups and saucers and call it a day?)

I'm thinking I get about 1.5 oz per moka cup or about 4-5 oz from a 3-cupper. While I love the taste, two 3-cup pots is all I can drink because three makes me start to vibrate and levitate. I drink one slow and still end up running the pot under cool water so I can handle it for another; they do stay hot for a long time, don't they? I use a second pot if Mrs. Moo wants in.

I must of been good this year, cuz Santa was exceptionally kind and dropped a Bialetti 3 cupper on me:



I bought a fresh tin of Cafe La Llave to get things going. Have run a test/throw-away batch, and am now just working with getting the right pack in the filter and natural gas flame under this rig. Now, if somebody can just peel me off the ceiling I'll be just fine

Hey, never too late to sip on some coffee

I have a Mr. Coffee grinder that grinds coarse to fine and in 4cup to 12 cup mode. The Cafe La Llave comes pre-ground and is a fine grind...

You temp me....but no. Well again congrats I am sure the 2 of you will be very happy together.

I can recommend the Cappresso Infinity Conical Burr grinder as a great product, If you NEVER want to go further then the Mokapot.
