   y'all I talked to somebody today who thinks a moka pot is super easy but thinks pour-overs are too finicky to bother with, I am having an out-of-body experience.

     @FarmingWarMech I mean, moka pots are extremely easy and all of the alternatives are hard if you've grown up watching everybody in your family making coffee with those, and only encountered any other way to make coffee at home as an adult :D
     
     (yes, I'm Italian. and I can't even drink coffee anymore)

     @FarmingWarMech I don't know what these things are, I come from a percolator clan and everybody else where I grew up just used brewers with Melitta filters.

     @FarmingWarMech I don't drink it myself, not a coffee person. =)

     @VideoGameArchitect they're very similar, but a moka pot is an evolution of that design with a collection chamber separate from the boiler chamber so the brewed coffee doesn't mix with the boiling water. They're really cool brewers, and very good when used correctly, just seem like very finicky things the few times I've used them, so they can end up with very bitter, disgusting coffee *like* a percolator, but they can also make absolutely fabulous coffee, if you know what you're doing, which I know because a girl I was dating years ago had a boyfriend who used one as his daily brewer and he made amaaaaazing coffee with it.

     @FarmingWarMech They're both so easy, though! We use a moka pot [caffettiera] every day here, and they're just... really simple. But it does take getting used to it, especially if it's not a common piece of equipment for your kitchen.

     Seeing as I live with an Italian, it is a fairly common one there.
