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.

aero press is drip coffee.

moka is not. it's more like espresso, it's Italian style coffee where you take it in shots.

question is what do you want, espresso style, or standard American style drip?

if you want ot make espresso style drinks, you want moka pot.

It's not really drip? I mean, I'm new around these parts so I may not understand the nuances of terminology here. But it only drips to the extent that it can't not drip, for however long your brew time is. The bulk of the work is done by the press, not gravity.

Yeah, aero press is generally considered to be an immersion brewer, rather than a drip/percolation brewer. It's functionally like a french press, but paper filtered.

Yes, coffee from moka pots is more like drip coffee than espresso.
