FWIW, my experience with Moka pot starting temp mirrors Lance's. Everyone recommends to start with boiling water, but I find it easier to control the flow of the brew when starting with room temperature water. I don't mind waiting the extra minute or so to boil the water in the Moka pot and I don't have to screw the top to a searing hot aluminum container that I'm trying to hold with a towel.

Yeah, trying to assemble the whole thing while it’s that hot can definitely be a pain.

☕ - 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.
