Ha, I understand - the underside of this question is the opportunity to speculate about the advantages of both gadgets. But in my case, the answer will be simple: “I choose a French press!” - and it is in no way due to the possible benefits of this method of brewing coffee...

See, a couple of months ago, my office colleagues presented me a Moka pot, simple as it! (check the photo). It is not stylish original Bialetti but technically speaking it is the same model. Colleagues did not ask me anything - they read my secret dreams, and it was a fantastic birthday gift, totally surprising and enchanting.

But I don’t have a French press yet. So, as the next option for my collection, I would obviously choose a French press - to develop and expand my experience!

I can attest that it is one of the best gifts. My current coffee maker was a gift from my older sister, and the one before that, a gift from dear friends, and the one before that, a gift from my daughter. I hope to see other similar gifts in my future!
Nice day!

That moka pot looks exactly like the ones you'll find here in almost every house. I understand your point; I used to collect coffee makers twenty years ago, but we were robbed. The thieves took 13 of my coffee makers and left only the 2 I had in the kitchen. Sometimes, I feel tempted to start collecting again but it will have to wait.

I need colleagues like yours 🤭

This office was the best in my life, probably will never-ever will be another one. (this job is slowly sinking, probably in 2-3 months I had to find another employer). it were employees of four book editorial offices, all very cultured people, connoisseurs of many good things in this world.

I understand that 20 years ago we all took much fewer photographs than today (and usually it were more significant things / events than a nice cup of coffee or slice of pizza), but... I still ask: are there any pics, maybe part of your collection? Of course, it is sad story to hear... thieves stole the most valuable stuff *-(

about Mokka pot: yes, it's a classic! and different manufacturers copy the same Bialetti Mokka pot (design from 1930-es!) unchanged... changing only minimally such features as, for example, painting... and that’s good! Humanity has optimized some things to the limit, and changing them further can only make them worse, lol.

Nostalgia is the word that comes to my mind when I read about old days fading away. The world is a changing place, and we human beings have adapted and survived. Some things never change, but others just disappear.

I don't keep any photos of my coffee makers; I keep very few photos of those times, actually, for the reasons you mention, I think. I had them (my coffee makers) in their boxes, waiting to be exhibited on a nice shelf in my new home, but that never happened, and I don't feel like collecting stuff anymore, at least for the moment.

Humanity has optimized some things to the limit, and changing them further can only make them worse, lol.

Like plastic surgery, my dear friend 🤭

I really liked your moka, that black color is very elegant and if it is a gift, even better. You have some very good friends who seem to know your tastes very well.😎

I leave you a cup of coffee for this day.☕
