Marco,
you’ll be surprised just how good the coffee the Moka pots can make, seriously.
As you say, generations of Italians can’t be wrong.

Was advised (in this thread actually) by someone who swore by a moka pot for years and had to invest in upwards of 1 Large in a ‘proper’ machine to better it.

Get yourself a quality grinder and your good to go.
My reccy is for the one I have, works a treat.
