It’s just a saying mate. They make a stronger deeper coffee imho.
Coffee. How do you take yours?

A very different flavour profile. I would say that the cafetiere style is more manly, though. More rugged, anyway.
I love Moka pot coffee.

Opinions vary.

What's a flavour profile?
It's a fancy way of saying it tastes different! Moka pot coffee has a strong and smooth but slightly one dimensional flavour. Cafetiere has more going on. I like both.
Ones cowboy coffee, ones not
That's fighting talk!
For a long time I just had a Moka pot. An Italian housemate at university had one and I thought it was really neat. But then I tried a cafetiere again at a friend's house and I was surprised how different it tasted. It seemed to have more flavours. But that might be because Moka pot coffee is usually made with a darker roast which gives strong coffee but loses some of the inherent flavours.
Clint Eastwood was well known for using a press I hear.
