I could never get my moka pot coffee to taste like a true espresso. Tried so many different roasts, grinds, measurements, tamping and heating methods, you name it. I sadly can't do the caffeine anymore anyway, but would love to know any tips! (PS: love the DIY tent stake handle!)

Nice! Mine has a J and a 3. Quick internet search is telling me it's from 64. Thanks for the details!

I've always left mine on a middle setting but now I wonder if I should experiment more. I bought it maybe 20 years ago. Mine looks the same, but not sure how to date it.
I get my blades (Feather brand) online.

So who makes the best duck boots today? I've heard LL Bean has gone down in quality too after they stopped honoring their lifetime warranty.

Shame about Danner for you! I have never had to replace mine, just the soles and normal upkeep, they're made like tanks (I have a pair of Mountain Lights that I've owned for about 15 years and Wolk Creek Chukkas for about 7). Maybe their quality has dropped?

The artwork of the floral swashes and whatnot on the instrument itself are marvelous. What a beautiful machine!

Thank you! Saving this comment if I can ever get back to having coffee again.
