However I've used pre-ground beans from the store (which usually are medium ground for a coffee maker) and haven't had problems.adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-16010817295501611572011-01-23T18:34:50.842-06:002011-01-23T18:34:50.842-06:00Oh man, I heart Moka Pots!

It makes great coffee awesome and mediocre coffee good.<br /><br />I've managed to amass quite the collection of them over the years, mostly through Goodwill. If you are looking for one new, another good one is from IKEA, in fact I've been using one I got from there for three years.<br /><br />GSI also makes two sizes of camping-specific Moka Pots, each requiring a separate enamel or metal cup. While it takes up less room than the standard type, it's a big messier in the coffee making process.<br /><br />As much as I love Moka Pots, I'll only take them with me on short one or two night bike camping expeditions. Even with the camping-specific version it takes up more space than I'm willing to budget for a longer trip, and the moka pot can only do one thing-make coffee. I like things to be multi-functional if possible.<br /><br />For longer journeys I'll boil water on my stove and use a plastic Melita cone with a reusable cloth filter. I can clip the cone to the outside of my bag and put the filter in a plastic ziplock bag. It's not as fancy as the Moka Pot, but still makes a damn good cup of coffee.adventure!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11840448827760637569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-84357121939613206892011-01-23T18:23:04.221-06:002011-01-23T18:23:04.221-06:00I wonder, can you use regular drip grind, readily ...I wonder, can you use regular drip grind, readily available in the grocery store, or is it necessary to coarse/fine grind some beans for that? It certainly looks good, though.twisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593091250403547793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635932258743482905.post-16796167431014989592011-01-23T17:35:48.127-06:002011-01-23T17:35:48.127-06:00I too saw this on Jerome's Bikes.
