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.

I have both, and I think the aeropress makes much nicer coffee. I find mocha pots make overly-strong and bitter shots, but maybe that's just my preference.

Aeropress is more of a faff though.

Moka is definitely a very robust brew. If you find you’re getting bitterness, try tweaking your extraction with a larger grind size, higher temp (thus faster brew time), or both.
