YT link for those that prefer it.

I usually start the day by brewing a moka pot, but I'm okay skipping it every once in a while under certain circumstances. What would you do/not do for yours?

I find that I can water down coffee pretty substantially after it's brewed, without changing the flavor significantly (although it is weaker obviously)

It means if I'm ever wanting reduced caffeine intake, it's easier to do that than decaffeinated coffee.

Works much better when I'm making any kind of coffee that uses milk, but it does work black as well.

How do you go about watering it down? Just pour room temp water into the brew?

Yup. More water seems to affect the brewing a lot more than the final product, so once I have it brewed the way I want, it's fine to water it.

First time I did it, I went "well that makes sense I guess, this cup is already like 99% water, everything I did brewing it was just to change the 1%, and that's done".
