I've never found the Moka pot stressful at all. It's pretty simple. It's not like you're doing dangerous chemistry over a burner.
Now that said I think espresso is pretty rapidly ruining the Moka pot for me.
I had an interesting surprise this week.
My company gave us free genetic testing if we wanted it and I took it and came back with the genetic variation for ultra fast caffeine metabolism. (I.e. break it down faster, less effect.)
Bottoms up.
