Hello /ck.

Friend got me a Moka Pot for my birthday.
One cup, immediately threw out my Mr. Coffee. I use it mainly for macchiatos, espressos, and iced coffee, but sometimes I attempt a mocha.

What would be the best coffee beans you'd suggest that are fairly mainstream. My family keeps buying me Starbucks Espresso beans, but I'm beginning to taste why people deride their quality.

Spending more than 10 bucks a pound ain't gonna happen on my pay grade.

Already saving up for a nice burr grinder, I have a shitty bladed Cuisinart for now.

In b4 "the Moka doesn't make espresso"... I get that.
