Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

FWIW just user experience here. I have 3 and 6 cup Bialetti moka pots that both work well for me. I put a paper filter on the bottom of the shower screen/top of the coffee bed (not inside, where it can get sucked into the funnel). This makes a cleaner cup. I always stop the brew by dipping the base

Meaningful upgrade from Lelit Bianca V3

Having spent quite a lot of time working with the Micra and several grinders across a range of roast levels, it seems clear that we have different opinions. My comments on the Micra at "La Marzocco Linea Micra Espresso Machine Review"

It took 10 weeks to fix the problem that time (a faulty
