That’s a moka pot I believe. You mean you have been using it without knowing what’s it’s called?

@joachim I just realised you use a manual lever machine? What brand/model do you use and how is it?

To note that the coffee maker names are American ones.
French press is cafetiere in English (which I find a bit weird since cafetière is what I know in french for “drip” on that chart
Drip is filter coffee (machine) - do people really say this? How do you use this in a sentence? “I’m going to put the drip on, would you like one?” Or “I’m making a drip, can I pour you a cup?”
Moka is something like stove top coffee maker (unusual in the UK I’d say)
Maybe this is all explained in the link, I didn’t click!

Never heard that word. I used to say or search something like “machine à café italienne”

I use the Flair Classic: Flairespresso
I bought this during the covid pandemic out of curiosity. I am rather a tea guy.
It is ok, if I make an espresso for other people they like it. One of the best things for me is that the thing is easy to clean completely and small to pack away. The whole workflow from grinding over pulling a shot to clean everything is about 20 minutes.
An alternative might be the Cafelat Robot.
I heard good things about it, but never tried it.

Nice! Do you need to use a lot of force to press it?
I heard that some people even carry the flair around with them when they travel… together with a full set of grinder, weighing scale and water heater etc… Amazing effort just to make their own espresso on the Go.
Yes, surely it depends on how fit you are. I lean bit on the lever, like this it is easy.

I think it’s quite remarkable that when coffee is duscussed most often the key ingredient is left out: the beans or blend of beans. There’s a lot of focus on the types of coffee and the way it’s prepared / machines.

I see. Yeah the videos I see make it look very easy, but I was thinking how easy can it be to exert 9 bars of pressure.

You mean whether it’s arabica or robusta? And whether it’s single origin or blended? And just recently I found out that the processing method like whether it’s natural dry, washed, honey processed etc plays a part in its flavour too.
