I really only use a moka pot when buying some latin world coffee, in the mood for a cafe cubano, an afternoon cafecito, a going-out-on-the-town-tonight kind of wakeup coffee. It'll be a weekend mood when and if I have houseguests and I feel like making a cortadito w/steamed milk (microwave a pyrex measuring cup of whole milk).

I will buy supreme bustelo, la llave, even publix brand espresso beans, and I don't think there is a vast difference between them, amazingly enough, they're similar when you get to that level of overroasted dark beans, and as long as you just opened your bag today or yesterday, it's very good. Cuban coffees have a silky sweet amount of sugar. I use demerara sugar. Some people actually add a little hot coffee to the cup with the sugar and vigoriously combine it until dissolved and then add the rest of the hot coffee. Walk up windows all over Miami actually add the sugar to the brew cup. I don't live in Miami anymore, so the moka pot is actually more authentic tasting than my Krups espresso machine, and crazy easy to prep and clean.
