Bottom of my list too, largely because I find it is so temperature sensitive.
As BC says, I think there is an aesthetic thing going on here, where a Moka exudes a sense of authenticity, which doesn't really make it into the cup. A FP would definitely be my recommendation of choice, simply because lots of people already have one. I think the mud turns them off though, and lots of people don't let it steep long enough.
If somebody is really showing an interest, then I will always try to push them towards an Aeropress. Its only downsides are quantity restraints and, to an extent, increased cost. I'd love for them to make a bigger version.
If there is anybody here that really is keen on moka pots, and has jewels to share, then please do, as I bet the vast majority of us here have mokas gathering dust!
This week I are feeling sleepy!
