I am just getting started. My budget is limited. I bought a Rocky grinder, a small Bialetti Moka Express, and a Bialetti Brikka.

Which brands of coffee are best suited to stove top brewing? I searched first but did find an answer.

Stove tops are best suited for medium-dark roasts (Vienna or Full City), where the beans are milk chocolate colored, dry after roasting and get an oil-sheen after a few days. They arguably do better at this particular roast level than any other brewing method. Colombian, Mexican, Kenyan, Tanzanian and Sumatran coffees are particularly suited to this roast level.

For lighter and medium roasts, you should get a French Press or simple Melitta cone, which is inexpensive and will do a better job. Almost all coffees work well at these roasts.

Avoid darker roasts, unless you enjoy strong smoky and tarry flavors
