As someone who you’d probably consider an espresso elitist, I also love moka pot. It’s a great way to get stronger coffee without needing to spend a ton of money. I don’t like it as much as espresso but I’d say it’s 80% as good, for way, way cheaper.
Also, I don’t consider myself an elitist, I don’t disrespect others or anything like that, I just happen to like the same drink that the snobs do. I hate their attitude but agree with their tastes, if that makes sense. I wish espresso wasn’t so pretentious, but it’s fun to make fun of.
