kind of funny given what a stink everyone made about forgiving student loans being an upper middle class subsidy that the climate provisions are very explicitly a subsidy on upper middle class homeowners.

    Also I didn't have much of a dog in the gas vs electric stove wars, until I found out that electric stoves don't work great with moka pots. You'll take my moka pot coffee from my cold dead hands (cause of death will probably be a heart attack because that shit is about as strong as espresso and comes in drip coffee quantities, how am I still alive).

      How would it "not work great" you're just heating a metal vessel to make steam inside Im pretty sure electricity can do that

        Depending on the type of electric stove the sensor might not recognize the pot because it's too small.

        Had an infrared electric flat stove that didn't turn on if it didn't detect a pan on it. I think induction stoves can also be picky about pan detection.

        Being able to turn off safety features would fix this

          that's e z tho just put a pan on it, and put the moka pot on the pan 😎

        Gas = instant blowtorch heat

        Electric = takes a while. may refuse to turn on. doesn't do high heat, which is essential for stir frying.

      I’ve been using a bialetti with an electric stovetop multiple times per day for years without a problem.

        it makes too much coffee for me and my partner. Moka Pots produce just the right amount so there's none of that nasty hyperacidic 2-day-old coffee that I have to chug before it gets moldy. Plus Moka pots last forever and are only $25 more than the drip machine. Also the coffee just tastes better.

      Factually incorrect, I have an electric stove and the Moka pot gets plenty of use. Induction stoves won't work, though.

        after a spare heart that'd probably be the most useful backup organ

            unfortunately I think that would end up being more like a Chang and Eng Bunker type situation

      Fun fact: If the power goes out your electric range doesn't work.

      Which is why I now have a propane camp stove.
