Moka Express Pot, rusting?

I know the Bialetti Moka pots are aluminium and I understood this means they can't rust? But mine seems to have a small spot of rust on the hinge part? Is this part not aluminium? Is there anything I can do to this spot or does it matter? Thanks.

Fine-grind French Press - Sacrilege? Better method?

I'm a longtime French press user but I've been grinding my beans finely for a few years. Espresso-fine I guess. Ground to a powder really. I much prefer the richer, more buttery, oily cup to the thinner and lighter cup you get from the prescribed…

3rd party filters with Kalita Wave or Hario V60

I have been using an Osaka stainless steel dripper for about a year now, and I think the mesh is clogged beyond repair. This results in a very slow, very cold cup of coffee. So I am thinking of upgrading to something that uses a paper filter. Both…

By my estimate 1 pound of course ground coffee leaves about 900 grams of concentrate in the wet grounds after filtering. In a perfect world with 100% extraction we could get about 54 cups of coffee from a pound of coffee. Using a drip filter I only…
