I've dialed it in around 19-20 grams of ground beans works best for me in the three cupper. Now to find some good espresso beans. The ones I've been using say they're good for espresso, but not for me. I love it in the FP, so I'll stick with that.

Ain't that the truth Bob! Lots of different Espresso roasts out there to choose from. Always great when you find something that floats your boat

I got my moka pot today. It kind of stunk like metal and grease. Is this normal? I washed it with hot water and dish soap, then boiled up regular water followed by 4 pots of cheap drip coffee. Smells better, but it's not completely gone. Will this eventually go away?
