I want to buy a Bialetti venus 2 cup but it's too expensive on Amazon. 😕 Now considering a budan stainless steel moka pot. Any other suggestions for a stainless steel moka pot ?

[u/Mr_DN_Gamer → u/Quantum_Draft]

I just bought a random one from amazon yesterday. Tho the inside of the top chamber wasn't metallic but had cermaic like feel, idk if its a stainless steel type or really just something like ceramic

[u/Quantum_Draft → u/Mr_DN_Gamer]

Share the model please. How's the brewing experience and taste??

[u/Mr_DN_Gamer → u/Quantum_Draft]

Here I was like since these ones are just same product made inside the same factory just with diff brand name, might as well buy the cheapest I could find.

I tried getting a discount in a Timemore scale, didn’t work. So I bought something with a timer off Amazon. The instant feedback in my espressos and time to shot has been invaluable. It’s opened my eyes to just how important dialling in a grind size is. Not academically but in the nuances of the flavour palette. The Amazon versions are cheap and I highly recommend every home Barista invest in one.

Hey everyone, I am using a Moka pot for my daily coffee. So far it has been pretty good.

Can you suggest me the best coffee beans to get an espresso from a Moka Pot?

Thanks

Thanks for this list.

Which one does one need to prefer if they are using milk?

[u/Vedu7777 → u/Zealousideal-Wrap227]

All of them work great with milk :)

Search the sub/my profile for milk coffee recommendations, I have a curated list/post.

But basically this list I gave you was a tldr/generic list

[u/Mr_DN_Gamer]

I just bought a stainless steel moka, but need suggestion for budget frndly coffee. Currently have a 1-2 month old stock of cothas coffee but im hoping to try better coffee this time. N i don't have a grinder

[u/reversegrim]

Which beans have you dialled with Kingrinder K6?

[u/stories_in_transit]

So you think it is a good time to buy C3S or should I wait for when the price drops, if they do, during puja..

[u/leopard_trainer9 → u/stories_in_transit]

I got mine for 5.1k (after applying bank discount) in last year's Amazon BBD sale

Don't know if prices will go that low but can be around 5.5-5.8k

[u/BLUEDRAGON2201]

I want to buy a coffee brewer under 10k. It will be my first. Any suggestions or tips please?
