Brewing with a Bialetti moka pot, I find the espresso looks a bit cloudy or murky. I usually use a medium to fine ground and have experimented starting with both cold and hot water in the chamber. It tastes great, but the appearance seems off, and is rather different from coffee I brew using a pour over. Why does it appear murky and is it impacting the taste? Or is this how it's meant to look?

Why is the espresso brewed from my moka pot cloudy?
