Are you sure about that ? You can see a Moka pot in nearly every households over there but a percolator... ?
wait I always thought percolator and mocha pots are identical. I myself use a mocha pot, does that mean I am not a percolator user? Oh no...
The big difference is basically that a moka pot only passes the water through the coffee once under considerable pressure, whereas a percolator does it repeatedly without pressure. A moka pot gets you something pretty similar to an espresso (though not the same, as the pressure is still far lower)
That said, if you are using a percolator and enjoy it, that's what counts. I think the Italians are pretty good at coffee but it's always going to be a personal preference deal
