Slackware
As simple as Arch, but more stable.
The design is almost 100 years old and doesn’t need daily filter updates.

But also it burns the coffee

Only when you use it wrong.

That sounds an awful lot like the blaming the user. Maybe it really is the slackware of coffee.

So it burns the coffee.

It does not. A regular percolator does, as it circulates the coffee back into the boiling water, unlike a moka pot, where the finished coffee does not sit at the bottom close to the heat, but in the top compartment. You should take it off the stove as soon as it’s done to avoid getting the finished coffee back to a boil or overextracting the coffee but if you do it right, they make really good coffee. There are even some versions that feature a valve, so the coffee is cooked at a higher pressure, getting it a little closer to espresso and producing a nice –albeit short lived – crema.

Hell, mine made crema on the first try. I probably over-pressed the coffee though.

I really like the mocha pot, but I’m a cappucino fan - if only there were a simple way to steam milk. I even have a Bellman, but it takes forever to build up pressure.

Tbh confused how you even managed to burn the coffe with this, as it is just evaporating water that filters through the coffee above - like did you put the coffee in the bottom part? 🤔

I haven’t experienced this, but from what I hear if you start with cooler water in the bottom and have the heat set too high, you can overheat the pot and the grounds before the water comes to temp to actually brew.

The few times I’ve used my moka pot I’ve preheated the water in a kettle so it gets to brewing faster (based on coffee people recommendations online.)

I’ve used a moka pot nearly every day for 10 years, never burned my coffee with it. I’m not even sure how you’d do that unless you just completely ignore it when it’s done and leave it on the stove forever.

I can’t imagine how you burn coffee with a mocha pot.

Like, you’d have to go out of your way and intentionally try to burn coffee with it.

Do these work ok on a glass top stove?

Yes. Although I recommend getting the stainless steel version. It can work on anything even an induction hob. It’s the one I take travelling.

Me too. And a lot of chatter (how are people managing to burn the coffee!?). Classic. Stable. Easy to maintain. Need to take care to get the best results.
