☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

On my manual grinder, I use between 2.5 and 4.0 out of 10.0 for V60, and I found 2.0 works best for the moka.
I just tap the basket with my finger to distribute the ground, I don't do anything else. I don't have a WDT, I will try to find a needle or toothpicks and try that.
No, I don't have this type of filter at hand.
I will try to play with temperature, and maybe get myself a smaller moka pot, as this one is indeed a bit too big. It forces be to make a big batch every time.
For what it’s worth, I find the 3-cup moka pot to be substantially more forgiving than the 6-cup, to the point where I’ll oftentimes brew two 3-cups rather than one 6-cup if I need a larger brew. At the same time, a 6-cup is absolutely still doable. I’ve made some really good coffee in a 6-cup but it’s been far more finicky.
