Are you after an invite to cross the Tamar for a coffee when we get back in the water?
I've recently installed one of these and am currently playing with settings.

I confess having a barely perceptible preference 
+ two on the boat and another half dozen in our holiday places etc.
The morning gurgling sound Pavlov reaction makes my feel similar to our goldfishes when we turn on the light and they know we are going to feed them.

My Father was heavily into Percolated Coffee .. so much so that he had an Electric Percolator (which I use when we have guests) and a simple one that sat on the hob ...
Must admit as a kid - used to watch the coffee bubbling up and over in the glass top ..
Perc coffee so much better than any filter stuff ..

Home: Moccamaster on weekdays, Pavoni at the weekend.
Camper: Bialetti.
Boat: Aeropress with reusable metal filter.
Walking: Espro French press vacuum flask.
Black.
I’m not sure any of those are the “Rocna” of anything but they have their place for me.
Also, what’s “tea”?
(In fairness, I’m partial to a herbal tea but that milky brown stuff is rarely a good drink imho. I understand I may have to return my British passport for making the above comment.)

They (and Vic's) all look like the aluminium one I had for six months before the handle melted off when I forgot about it on the hob one night.
I've heard it may not be great for your brain in the long term, to consume something prepared by boiling in aluminium...especially if you make such regular use of it that you need so many pots!
My sister got me a stainless espresso pot for Christmas - identical in function, just not aluminium - and it's great. Nor is it remotely complicated to use or to clean. I've never worked out why anybody would choose a costly machine over this brilliantly authentic, effective original.

Here’s a series of 4 vids on the Moka pot, its history, how it works and how to get the best from it:
Really nicely made, lots of info. If you’ve not come across James Hoffman, his channel is worth a look.
I don’t think the aluminium > Alzheimer’s thing is a thing. (See vid)

Am rather tempted to get one of these for the next boat .... a Bellman CX-25P
It makes espresso and steams milk .....

One at home, one on the boat. This is an important sailing aid - when I can drink no more coffe and the lines are ready to slip the dregs go over the side to see how the current will take me.
