[@JustADad]

Yeah I was blown away how better my coffee tasted. That is nice to hear that it last. Thanks for your support and Watching!!!!

I have a Moccamaster only I have the one that drips into a thermal carafe. I love mine. Great machine, Thanks for sharing

A little stir during the bloom will mix the coffee and saturate the grounds for better extraction.

[@JustADad]

Thanks Jay for the tip!!!

[@pueblodove]

After watching a lot of your coffee maker videos, I have decided that this is the one I am getting in blue, as soon as I have the money!

[@JustADad]

Wonderful!

[@hmw1341]

Your videos are so helpful. You’re my favorite coffee person on KZbin because you relate to the issues of so many people in their everyday lives. You are always so detailed and helpful, yet also relatable. THANK YOU! Don’t ever change how you do your reviews. :)

That is awesome! Thanks for Watching!!!

[@sacredhonorcoffee]

We use a Moccamaster with a thermal carafe at home and love it. I'm definitely a Technivorm fanboy. Like Naughtysauce mentioned below, consider buying whole bean and using a burr grinder. We use 50-55 grams of coffee per liter of filtered or purified water. A digital kitchen scale is a great way to ensure consistency rather than scoops. Also, we rinse the paper filters with hot water before adding the coffee to cut down on any paper taste and preheat the carafe. Great video!

[@JustADad]

Great tip! I am going to be doing this more and more in the future. Thanks for the great how to. Thanks for sharing to help others. Thanks Again for Watching and your kind words!!!

What burr grinder coarseness setting from 0-40?

[@gregjalensky9344]

Great review!!! Have you ever used a Hamilton Beach 46700 auto pour over coffee maker? I can't find any reviews.

[@mrpogi23]

grinding your freshly roasted bean will also take it to another level... even though its messy and takes some experimenting with grind size, worth it.

[@JustADad]

Yeah I agree, I have started to do that and its amazing

[@SHlTHEADJOE]

Nice video and channel. I'm not much into pod brewing but if I was, I'd be all over your other videos. They are detailed with good lighting and you speak like I do... You should think about recording your coffee journey, asking for feedback along the way. Maybe next try the different ratio's. Moccamaster actually recommends an 1:18. So 55 grams for a full liter or 28 grams for 500ml which would fill a 16oz mug. As my contribution/tip, always pre-wash your filter. Only takes a sec and can remove any unwanted bleached paper taste. Good luck and I hope to see another Moccamaster video from you soon.

[@JustADad]

Thanks so much for taking the time with your kind words!!! These are great ideas, I need to think about Thanks!!!!

[@alpsskiman]

Great video. As someone else already mentioned, I'd consider getting a good burr grinder and grinding your coffee beans fresh every morning. As someone who always bought ground coffee prior to buying my Moccamaster 5 years ago, I've noticed a difference in taste between pre-ground coffee and whole bean coffee. I also have the KGB. Even on the low setting you'll notice any remaining coffee will begin to take on a more bitter, burnt taste after about 20 minutes on the hotplate. I counter this by using an old Stanley thermos I've preheated with hot water. It keeps any remaining coffee hot for hours. :) Enjoy your Moccamaster.

[@JustADad]

yep I have started to research and use coffee grinders. Do you have one you recommend? Thanks for your kind words and watching!!!

[@alpsskiman]

I have the Baratza Encore. It's a great burr grinder and highly rated on many food/coffee related websites.

[@13699111]

I have a very very old moccamaster I managed to damage it over flowed a few times guessing maybe the coffee filter . Then I left it turned on many times over the years , another guess the over heating safety finally failed . Pro's some of the best home brewed coffee I've ever had, cons the thermos didn't keep the coffee hot as long as I would have liked. After watching many KZbin reviews of the moccamaster the newest version doesn't look as well built as my old moccamaster. I tried brewing the coffee directly into a preheated thermax work thermos it was just so difficult setting it up because the thermos was taller than the moccamaster craft . I asked about sending a rebuild kit to me they want you to send it to the factory .

[@louisd95714]

Thank you for the fantastic review! I have seen on one of the Technivorm videos that they recommend stirring the coffee as it's blooming , which they claim would enhance the flavor. I am curious, though, how would you compare the taste of the coffee as compared to the Ninja CFT301? Is there a tremendous difference that would be worth upgrading to, or would there be diminishing returns?

[@JustADad]

This is a great question and I get this one more than you might think. I do believe the Moccamaster makes better tasting coffee, but I know what people want for me to answer (is it worth paying $350 for a coffee maker) That is just a hard one to answer. The mocamaster is limited in that it only does a pot of coffee and the Carafe that moccamaster makes is kind of cheap. The Ninja dual brew pro is so versatile and can do so many more things. K cup, hot water, brew into travel mug, on and on. You can buy the Ninja for $200, and the Moccamaster for $350. Does the coffee taste that much better? To me I have to answer no but I am not an expert on this. I love the moccoamster and I feel in love with it the first time I used it, My wife loves it because it looks and does not take up much room on counter. So I may not have been much help sorry.

[@louisd95714]

@@JustADad Thank you, I believe you answered my question. I have the dual brew, and I do like the coffee it produces. But if I can find a second hand moccamaster for a good price, I might have second thoughts. :)

[@hannahpolitz9768]

If I purchased this machine & just wanted to make 2 cups of coffee, is that doable? I imagine I’d fill up the reservoir to that amount and add in the appropriate grounds amount to the filter. Is this true? I’m the only coffee drinker in my home so don’t usually make a half to full pot everyday

[@JustADad]

what ever amount of water you put in the tank that is what it will brew. I would fill it up the minimum mark

[@patrickbennett439]

Does the goldtone filter work on these?

[@JustADad]

no moccamaster only wants you to use paper filters

[@rorilee9791]

How do you get the little tube in the carafe clean? O.O

@@JustADad Thanks!!

[@upscalebohemian5372]

I just hate that the cord comes out the side instead of the back where it can be hidden from view. Coming out the side it limits how you can line this up with other things on your counter.

[@JustADad]

Yeah I agree.

[@juggernaut316]

They really need to fix that shower head design to get even grounds saturation

[@JustADad]

yeah it could use a little work.

[@katzparov]

If you have the Moccamaster with the 3 setting brew basket that sits on a round base, you can very easily swivel the brew basket slowly back and forth for a few seconds. Perhaps a minute or there about for a more even wetting of the coffee grounds. Also, if you wish just swivel it periodically throughout so that the force of the water doesn't burrow a divit in the grounds. Also note that freshly roasted whole beans, when ground just before brewing will SWELL much more than preground grocery store bought coffee making it a bit more difficult to evenly wet the grounds. If freshly ground freshly roasted coffee is just left alone to brew all on it's own, you'll find that a lot of the grounds to the side are not wetted like the grounds closest to the reservoir. Some tweaking may be necessary for best results. I find the Basket with 3 setting brew basket that sits on a circular base offers the most flexibility as opposed the the brew basket with the rectangular bottom that sits in a rectangular slot. Wider shower heads are an option. There are numerous ways to improvise a multi hole shower head. The brew basket lid of an old coffee perculator if the holes are big enough.. Find a simple way to support the lid on top of the brew basket may achieve that aim since there are plenty of drain holes. You can also use cream cheese container with the sides cut off with an approximate 1/4 inch or so remaining and drill multiple holes in it giving you a nice wide shower head if the plastic is safe for use with hot water only. Just don't have the drain areal too wide so that it does not disperse directly on wall of the brew basket. Keep in mind that you may not get the same turbulence that water directly dispersing from the shower arm offers. Experiment !! It's fun !!mmm

10 cup being 4 oz per cup

[@naughtysauce4323]

It really seems like you're just scratching the surface when it comes to quality coffee making. Buy a quality bur grinder, only use filtered water, pour over style coffee, are just the beginning. I would suggest checking out and reviewing an Aeropress which is my daily driver when I have extra time in the morning. If you want an extremely cheap singe serve option to this style drip coffee, review the Clever Coffee. Once you go down those routes, it will make coffee's coming out of those pod style coffee makers taste like swill.

[@JustADad]

Thanks so much for Watching and sharing your Knowledge. I agree with you I need to go down this road more. I will definitely check out your recommendations. I guess its just a journey I am on and I am enjoying so much about it. Thanks again for Sharing what you know about coffee. It really helps people like me who are so new to this adventure.

I really think it depends on the person and the situation. For example I like and understand the idea of the ritual itself when it comes to handbrewing and stuff. But, honestly, I personally don’t really taste a difference between a handbrewn and the same coffee out of a nice machine. I can taste the difference between different coffees of course or the difference between coarse and finer grinds. Personally I often just „need a coffee“ and simply just don’t drink it for the reason of enjoyment, but for the caffeine. I think this machine is the best I can get out of it without making it overcomplicated or trying to make myself a connoisseur where I‘m definitely just a guy that doesn’t like to drink bad coffee. The biggest step for me was to buy a grinder and stop buying cheap pre-ground powder… But of course I know there are people who can taste a difference and enjoy getting the maximum out of it. Best wishes and thanks for the vid.

[@JustADad]

@@jacklambert3265 I feel the exact same way. I just started to grind my coffee and wow what A difference, but I am have a hard time finding a good grinder that does not cost over $150. I tried a cheaper coffee maker and I had to go back to this coffee maker because I love the taste this coffee maker does. Thanks for the feedback and I am glad someone feels the same way.

Don't use vinegar and water. It's not strong enough. Moccamaster recommends using Urnex Coffee Machine Cleaning Powder or BioCaf cleaners.

I thought the second switch was for full and half batch coffee making? Half batch slows the drip flow. Nothing to do with the hot plate.
