It’s a very forgiving method, unlike the moka pot. If you use a scale, and keep all numbers reasonable, the result will be reasonably good too. Finer details don’t really matter very much unless you’re highly trained in tasting finer flavor notes. Most people can’t tell if the temperature, particle size or extraction time was a little bit off.
Moka pot is a very different beast. It’s very easy to go from delicious coffee to bitter rat poison in a few seconds if you’re not paying attention.
I personally find the Moka pot to be more consistent for me personally, as long as you keep the temperature from getting to high and take it off the heat before the bubbly too hot water comes out it’s bang on. With an Aeropress I could never figure out how to make it well consistently.
