I just received a Moka Pot for Christmas. After spending a few weeks taking notes and adjusting the grind size and amount I am very happy with it. I found that the 7 setting on my Induction stove leads to very little bitterness.

I think that the Moka pot on the induction range to be a nice demo of induction's benefits over gas or electric(resistant) ranges. Extremely accurate and reproducible heating, decently fast, and basically no waste heat. Instant off as well without needing to move the pot.

I got a Moka Pot for Christmas, too! I used this is great video from James Hoffman to optimize the coffee I made with it. (for deliciousness)

In addition to the work you've done identifying the ideal grind size, he explains adding boiling water to the reservoir and other tips to avoid bitterness in the final product.

How are you heating the pot on induction if it's made of aluminum? Do you have a steel Moka pot?

Yep. Made the mistake of not paying attention to the material so I actually received the aluminum version. Was happy to find this and exchange for it.
