Is that just like a coffee boiler? Or a percolator?

I mean, if you like the taste of burnt coffee that is a great way of getting it. Moka pots boil water and force it through a layer of coffee at the bottom. Shoots it into the cup part at top. Percolator boils water, shoots it on to the coffee at the top... and cycles that for a few mins. Adding a rich, smokey, acquired taste. Generally speaking, I don't think anyone prefers that style of coffee.

Surely this is the preferred flavor of old church ladies. I only ever see percolators at churches.

Drip coffee was a thing in the late 70's/early 80's. I guess maybe for someone who is 60/70 it would be considered normal. It is "cheaper", no filters to buy... but the same could be said about the Moca pot. Only thing that "could" wear out is the silicone ring, which is easily replaceable.
