From the look of things, yeah, the OXO device looks similar enough to a Gabi, just a different filter type and a different (bigger) size. If there’s a disadvantage to the Gabi, it’s that: it’s rather small, so unless you’re doing single cups, you’ll have to pour in a couple of rounds, making sure your bed doesn’t dry out in the meantime, etc. It won’t be a problem if you do single cups, so I suppose that’s what it’s primarily aimed at. Oh, and the type of filters differ, of course, so if you have a strong preference there, that might dictate the dripper/drip-assist you can use.
Either way, yes, the OXO looks to be the same kind of thing, good to hear it works well, too!
I’ll skip the usual NPC monologue about how a moka pot does not make espresso, period, because the grind and pressure and process are completely different and that’s OK… Well, damn, still monologued. 🤣
Anyway, I have a Bambino (which is the absolute low end of things I’d consider) and a moka pot, they’re both fun and make decent coffee, but the moka pot is a lot more forgiving than the espresso machine. The amounts of time I got really bad coffee out of the moka pot vs out of the espresso machine are not even close.
