Quite right about everyone having a preference for their 'best' coffee.
I for one enjoy the stove-top moka pot system, sure it takes a good 5 minutes to get it done and it's quite an interesting sequence of events when you're half asleep; I also finish mine off with
cream, stopped using milk many years ago. Just get good cream, shake it up and pour it onto the coffee, so velvety smooth
Too bad it's 23H00 here, else I'd be having one!
