Prefer aeropress over moka pot - quicker and easier to clean, requires less attention, better consistency, and prefer the fresher taste of aeropress. Only need a kettle instead of stove so generally quicker (US: whats a kettle).

interesting - is that a french press but with a smaller pored filter so you need more force and get more creamy consistency?

having said that the design is remarkably ugly. almost like some medical device - or maybe even like a bathmate? :D

Heh, yeah, the design is like the cylinder version of a cuisinart top. But it works quite well for small amounts of coffee, and is very portable. Compared to a french press, the filter is much finer, and the rubber end seals way better.

Unfortunately, because the volume is small, I would have to use it multiple times, which was such a pain, I eventually stopped using it in favor of a V60 pourover.
