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

        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.)

            This is the correct way to do it.

            Boil the water first, pour it in the bottom, place coffee in section on top, screw on top part, heat till it brews out the too, then remove from heat as soon as it’s done.

            I use refrigerated filtered water in mine. Maybe I just don’t set the heat too high though? I use a coil stovetop and put the knob around 7.5/10. Coffee takes 7-8 minutes after I turn it on.

        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.

      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.

      That’s just pretentious, man. You do that for the musafir but there’s no way you use that impossible to clean cezve on a daily basis.

      Here, use this:

      A teaspoon for every little cup of water. Heat it fast until it simmers, stir like crazy for two minutes, pour, then let it froth slightly, then pour again.

      I use Arch and Debian depending on what I think is easiest.

    Linux Mint (Moccamaster) it just chugs along and makes the best coffee possible. Fast and reliable.

        Its not a drip machine though, it’s more like a Chemex that doesn’t require you to do the pouring.

          Moccamaster is a drip machine. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, Moccamaster makes good coffee.

          I know some hate this but pour over, this chemex thing and Moccamaster, it’s all drip coffee lol. Drip coffee just has a bad and cheap reputation so most avoid using those terms.

        270€ on Amazon here, but you sure got a chuckle out of me 😁

        It does make good drip coffee though. But best drip coffee imo comes from pour-over, but that can be less convenient and consistent than an automatic machine.

      The analogy works well since its Debian-like, but way more awesome. The Moccamaster is great. As easy to use as a drip, but makes better coffee than the Chemex.

      I think in this graphic I would replace the Fedora pour-over thing with a French Press because they already did pour-over with Arch.

      And then Android is a Starbucks cup.

        That fits. Just like Android, Starbucks coffee is well made, by someone who isn’t you.

        The quality of the final product is still in question though.

          Starbucks coffee is consistently made, not well-made. Their roasting is just off, and it adversely affects the flavor of the coffee.

            Oh, I’m specifically saying that the workers do a good job of assembling all the parts to make your coffee.

            So I think we’re saying the same thing with different terms.

            To be fair, I think your wording is more clear.

        The pour-over thing is called Chemex just FYI. It’s supposed to be different than regular pour-over. I use Fedora…

        That does Android a huge disservice. Android is a well made Nescafe. It’s not the coffee of your choice, but it is stable and reliable, and doesn’t make a fuss if you pour other coffees into it.

          You might argue that the dairy and sugar dessert beverages served at Starbucks often don’t count as real coffee, much the way Android has very little in common with the rest of the Linux ecosystem. It technically has Linux/coffee in it.

      That’s what I use, it’s so much simpler. And I only use the press because my wife refuses to buy me instant coffee, otherwise that’s what I’d drink, cause it’s so about ease for me. A press is easier to clean

    I prepare my coffee in a cup, and drink it with grounds. No milk, no sugar.

    I am an embedded developer.

    Sometimes when I’m too lazy to boil water, I leave coffee grounds with cold water in a cup overnight, the coffee is strong enough in the morning, and no need to wait for it to cool.
