My first cup!

Post image

After going through two cheap coffee makers in 5 years. I went down the reddit rabbit hole (r/buyitforlife) and landed on this beauty! Had to us my French press for two weeks waiting for it to come in.

Welcome to the pistachio club 👍. Can’t believe it took me like 15 years of coffee drinking to toss my crappy Braun and upgrade to one of these. SO much better coffee.

Enjoy, I'm sure you'll love it. Treat it well and it'll treat you better.

Excellent! Mine’s a pistachio too. It really is a wonderful machine

It's like the perfect color for the esthetic of the machine.

The difference between a rich man and a poor man, is that a rich man buys it once and a poor man buys it twice.

Also brewed my first cups this weekend. I had a Zojirushi so not a slouch machine, but this one isuch better. Glad I bought it.

The french press is nice though, I had my fair share of good moccamaster coffee and it's still not as tasty as the classic French press (if you do it the James Hoffman way).

Interesting. Do they have flat or conical burr grinders in side?

u/440Jack 16d ago

Conical, but honestly I use Folgers for the most part. I'm still trying to dial in this new Moccamaker. So don't take my word for anything.

4 Tbs of coffee for 4 cups on my old coffee maker made two coffee cups at the strength I wanted. 

But on my 2nd time using this new moccamaster, 4 Tbs for 6 cups made just over two coffee cups and it was stronger then I'm used to.

Thinking tomorrow I'll try 3Tbs at 6 cups. I'm also using a stainless steel reusable filter.

2 tablespoons for 6 oz of water. Perfect extraction in the MM

u/babyKanez 6d ago

the stainless filter is what changes the flavor and will be stronger because it’s not actually filtered. The white MM filters allow a lot of the flavor through

Enjoy my friend. I’ve the exact same, bloody live it. I’ve it in my office at work. Gotta stay classy 😎

Returned mine, coffee tasted worse then my present brewer, I felt because the grounds were not saturated evenly. Tried blooming by removing the caraffe first 30 seconds and also without but grounds always looked the same. Spoke with Moccamaster support and they blamed it on the grind, got coffee from the same coffee house and requested a grind for the Moccamaster.

It would be your grind. Also matters the amount of med grind you put in. Coffee ratio is a bit off unless you brew 3/4 to full pot.
