If you keep on using your moka pot that way, you can get great coffee every time. You just need to keep an eye on it. Unfortunately, it’s very easy to screw it up, whereas with the areropress screwing it up requires borderline criminal negligence. As long as you weigh the grinds and water, AP produces very consistent results for me. If you happen to be an experienced taster, you can probably notice if the grind size, temperature or extraction time is a little bit off.
I’ve tried a bunch of side-by-side comparisons and I can tell you that I’m not quite that experienced, so I don’t need to worry about the finer details that much. As long as both weights are within a reasonable range, the coffee ends up being really good every time.
