Ok so is a Moka pot for making coffee in the North American sense (drip coffee), or espresso (even if it is not at as high pressure), or something in between? I do pour overs daily and have never used a moka pot.

It's something in between IMO. A moka pot cannot produce the pressures necessary for making traditional espresso, but it does produce a strong, slightly viscous coffee and occasionally some crema. A lovely brew on its own!

Something in between :) It's lower pressure than espresso, but it is under a bit of pressure
