Hey everyone, I’m looking to expand my coffee gear and am planning on acquiring a moka pot and an aeropress. Which should I get first? I’m planning on getting both, but one not for a few months.

The Moka Pot is for espresso. The way you use it properly is to pre-boil the water in the bottom portion and then apply the heat from the stove to minimize the overall scorching from overheating the frame. My grandparents always started from cold and I start from warm and it makes a world of difference in taste and power.
If you’re consistently brewing coffee and not espresso the AeroPress is a no-brainer. It makes an incredible cup that really brings out the flavors in great coffee. When I want to show somebody a good single origin to demonstrate the funky flavors I will always brew with an AeroPress because it’s very clean. The Moka pot can do this for good espresso, provided you start from warm water.
