^ remember that Moka Pot doesn't equal Percolator. In a good Moka brew,
the water should only go through the coffee once, and then into the top
basket.
I'd definitely recommend a Moka Pot over a Perc, and maybe even a drip,
if low-tech is what you're going for. You seriously can't go wrong with
a Moka pot and can of Bustelo.
