Are these alright? Or should I spend the quid for a machine?

just use instant coffee

You wil use that a few times then forget to clean it so it gets disgusting, get a machine instead.

Moka pots make a rich, almost syrupy coffee. If that's your bag, get one.

Get a french press

I have one, I like it. If you have the money and counter space for an espresso machine, go nuts I guess. Personally I don't think a whole machine is worth the cost though. Worst case scenario, but the moka pot and return it. If you only use it once no one will ever know it was used.

I shouldn't have laughed at this but I did.

They work fine. Trick is to heat the water before palcing it in the moka pot

Hmm most articles/vids I've seen don't do that.

I'll try both methods.

These are great. Get a good supplier and grab 5 different single origins, ground for moka pot by them and learn about what coffee tastes like and which you enjoy.
The only real variables are type and quantity of water, and speed of the procedure

I used to use one.
Main thing is I hated how long it took to get coffee.
If you get the heat levelmjust right, it takes for ever, but makes good coffee.
If you use too much, it tastes like shit.

very difficult to make good coffee with

get a french press instead
