Sure, but the coffee is still amazing. Not every day has to be an espresso day.
I find that more than once a week is pushing it for espresso. They are one of those things like meat or cookies that lose some of their value once I start consuming it too often.
I get your point, but bialetti absolutely does do pod coffee machines too
I would say get an aeropress and just carry/have it everywhere but like, apparently they’ve changed hands and I have no idea if the one I’ve been using for like a decade or more is indicative of their current product. Good product though (just be careful if you have dodgy joints). Yeah they do have filters, but I also have a compost bin so they just go straight into there
Fuck coffee pods.
Use Moka pots and ground coffee.
No pods. No filters. No crappy electronics that will end up as e waste.
Just water, coffee and heat. Boom.
They are standard in most places in Europe and it pisses me off that people are still trying to reinvent the wheel or keep using crappy appliances.

I’m still a huge fan of my V60. I can take it anywhere with my little collapsable travel kettle, and it’s super easy.
Plus you really wanna filter your coffee through a paper filter
Filtering your coffee through a paper filter removes a LOT of the cafestol (a bad cholesterol) and actually makes coffee a relatively healthy drink.
Too much unfiltered coffee can be BAD for your health due to the cafestol.
Sucks, but it’s true.
They don’t create enough pressure to get good espresso, I’ve been using the Philips 3200

I have espresso 3 times a day so it’s worth it for me
