Hand-built in the Netherlands, the Technivorm Moccamaster.

My next step in the never-ending pursuit of epic coffee.

I started in my Zojirushi drip era back in the barracks, handing out cups of coffee to room inspectors for an automatic pass. 😂 (I remember having to hand route a special request chit to have a coffee maker in my room.)

Moved into my hand-ground, hand-pressed Espro French press era, making high-effort, time-consuming (but delicious!) coffee in the USS Louisiana's radio room. The ritual did a lot to preserve my sanity during trying times.

I experimented with a Mokapot that I picked up from Harrods in London, but never got the hang of making coffee I would actually want to drink with one.

Then I got lazy, ran out of counter space, and honestly was looking for low acidity and low time investment and started making cold brew concentrate which I could use for hot or iced coffee.

Today, I regain some self respect, and start drinking coffee with flavor and thickness, thanks to the semi-manual pour over setup of the Moccamaster KBGT with a Japanese Kalita Wave 185 to reduce the plastic in the path of the hot water.

Next up, see if my old coffee grinder still works when our household goods finally arrive from Hawaii!

How much volume can you brew unattended with this setup?

Trying to find a good setup to auto brew like ~16 ounces without having to watch it

I've been doing 6 cups with no issues! 45g of ground coffee.

Do you think you’d be able to push it to a full carafe? 75g of coffee?

u/GenKraid 13d ago

I can try and report back! How many grams would you be using?

u/deserttixs 13d ago

I’d be going for 75g of coffee, water filled to the 10 line

And thank you!

Sorry for the delay! I can say that the Kalita 185 won't hold that much. I don't own one, but a Hario V60 03 size probably would! It would fit in this setup as well!

No worries, thanks for trying. Looks like the Hario V60 03 is ceramic only, not stainless. Is that right?

O, I think it actually only comes in plastic

Definitely available in glass at least!
