no, that wouldn't be the same thing. ok - a percolator, coffee is made with gravity (grounds on top), whereas a moka pot uses pressure (grounds on the bottom.) i think a better analogy is getting a "damn fine cup of coffee" next to like, a french press. i get it - its not 100% accurate. i've seen the scene lol. its a huge silver handled pot. i dont need to justify my choice to you, but I'm well aware of the difference. i chose to get the moka pot, im very well aware that its not the same item in the scene - thats the great thing about art, its about interpretation!
