Couldn't really make it work for me, gas stove and a moka pot seems too finicky. So I just do pourover

I did use it on a gas stove (brought it with me when was on vacations at my parents lol) and totally works

I think yours specifically might have a design issue

I doubt it. The moka pot in general is finicky. Unless you put milk or something into the coffee I find it rather harsh and I don't like milk in coffee.

This is 100 % a matter of technique, I can make a good cup of coffee with it. I just need to dial in grind and ratios right, but even then it's hard to control the temperature. By the time I go to that sputering hissy phase it becomes harsh and very bitter.

In general it's hard for me to find the sweet spot between battery acid and coal juice with a moka pot. Pourover is much more forgiving and consistent.

Huh! we definitely don't have the same taste, as I only ever drink coffee with milk, and as such i don't care much about the exact taste that comes out of moka pot

Thanks for you feedback!
