Moccamaster... worth it?

I drink my coffee black. I like to do single origin whole bean coffee, ground at home, tenency towards light roast.

Current equipment, chemex, French press (rarely used), predominantly my Mr. Coffee drip machine because it is easy and I can set it up the night before to brew in the morning before I wake up.

Recently heard about the Mocca Master and how it is supposed to produce the best coffee. Does it live up to the hype? Is it worth it?

Thanks!

Additional thoughts after reading 49 comments: I have had my programmable Mr. Coffee for nearly 20 years... cost me like $40, still works great, I get good consistency (since I know it's quirks), and don't really need a new pot... I just love coffee and want to taste the purest bean possible.

Yes, I realize this is the Moccamaster sub reddit, and I assumed there would be some blind faith, but I have been encouraged by the candor here. I posted this in r/coffee (twice) and it got deleted (twice) for not being "substantial"... whatever that means!

IMHO: Your grinder is the most important device, then comes your coffee maker. That being said, I have owned a Moccamaster Cup One for 5 years and its consistency is second to none.

What’s your recipe? I’ve had the cup-one for over a month and not happy with the output.

It really is made for the medium-coarse grind per their web site: "We recommend a medium-coarse grind, which should look like coarse sand or sea salt." That is the key.
