What kind of coffee grind should I be using for an Moka Pot?

I grind my espresso at a local grocery store. And I always set the machine to the Espresso setting but I'm not sure if that is right grind I should be using.

Espresso grind is too fine for a moka pot, it will clog the system & over extract (making it bitter). You should use a coarser grind. The same as a drip or slightly coarser is best.

If you check the link, they actually give you drip ground coffee with the pot. It will taste even better if you can get a grinder & grind fresh before brewing. More surface area on the grounds means it goes stale faster.

Never grind twice if you're using a burr grinder. If you're using a blade grinder, you're just chopping, not really grinding, until it's done. Get a grinder that can grind to the size you need the first time. The second link tells you that right after the model pictures.

I roast my own coffee and have 7 ways to brew it. Grind size matters.
