Moka-Pots can make excellent coffee.  

 

the beans , the roast level , and the grind make a difference w the M-P's

 

of note :  as a ' single taster '  , i.e. Me 

 

being my own control , and a home roaster 

 

the selection of beans for my favorite ' drip ' or M-P coffee is very different 

 

than my favorite blend for espresso ,  using a high end grinder that matches the high end espresso machine.

 

the Espresso-Blend is also roasted to about  4 - 5 degrees less than for drip.

 

just into the second crack.

 

if I switched these two roasts around  , and used the ' drip ' roast for espresso , and visa versa  

 

I wouldn't care for rather cup.

 

Since im my own ' control '  for this experiment , and Ive done it out of curiosity 

 

the bean blend for espresso matters and its not the bean-blend for ' drip '

 

including different roasting points.

 

I was a bit surprised when I tried this.

 

the switch made pretty bad espresso , and awful drip.

 

Id also suggest that ' true ' turkish coffee can be excellent , but that's a different topic

 

and a different blend of beans and roasting point and grinding point.
