I understand that people in Korea look at me funny when at 38°C in the summer I order a hot cafe latte. ...

I agree with you. Iced coffee brings out more flavor that can't be found in hot coffee. I prefer iced americano when brewing arabica beans,

New grinder for my Moka pot.

I've always used a cheap coffee grinder for my Moka. It created very uneven grounds but it's what I had. It finally stopped working so a relative gifted me this MAVO manual grinder. ...

If you have that grinder, you can start brew the coffee using pour over. It will gives you richer taste. This video from James Hoffmann can be used as a guideline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI4ynXzkSQo

I've been inclining to try Hoop for so long, and this video gave me the nudge. I bought it a few weeks ago and used it constantly. As advertised, Hoop is very easy to use, and I can brew until 300mL of coffee in one go. Fortunately nobody at home is as addicted to coffee as me, so I don't have to share. One caveat to Hoop is grind size, if I go finer it will reduce draw time, too coarse will makes the coffee empty. So finding the right size is the key. So far this is the easiest brewer I've used. Clever dripper is second, Hario switch is third. Others (Kalita, v60s, AeroPress, etc) come next.
