Do not use your coffee pot to refill the water reservoir for any coffee maker. Coffee is hydrophobic and despite looking clean that coffee pot likely has coffee oils on it. Perhaps you do a deep cleaning every time, but adding coffee oil to the internals of a coffee machine isn't a great idea. Despi

I will say this is a dumb dumb post but this carafe actually belongs to a somewhat fancy coffee maker. It’s a Moccamaster, which brews somewhat similar to pour over coffee compared to your average Mr. Coffee. But I’m still a hater. If you’re gonna drink iced coffee, get a cold brew maker.

First off: I understand it is a good coffee maker. The question the OP is really asking though is is it good enough to justify the premium I think at this point it may be trading on its name a little. There are a fair number consistent temp, shower head / multi-hole style drip, reliable, SCA certifi

I think if I'm honest with myself, I can't find a huge difference between drip coffee makers. These forums are filled with people willing to spend way more than me, on coffee stuff. Yes pour over can be better if you do it right, just take lots of practice. Espresso is great if your willing to exper

A Moccamaster is a drip coffee maker and isn't going to match those two brew methods you mention.

Tbh, no. I gave up on it and it is sitting on a shelf gathering dust. Have went to an OXO coffee maker and tbh, the coffee is way better without any of the headache.

Consumer reports had Cuisinart DCC-3200 as the top rated model with a 5 (out of 5) on brew performance. And this has Technivorms and Fellows on their list. Those get penalized on ease of use or ease of cleaning, or carafe handling, but also have 5 on their brew performance. I own the Cuisinart and w

Just got a Moccamaster KBTS. Brews good but not superior coffee compared to other drip coffee makers in its price range. Other than the water heating and water reservoir assemblies, and the thermal carafe, the build quality is flimsy. Plastic basket and cover are feather light and chintzy. Plastic w

Did I ever sort this out? It's funny, two years after the original post, to try to figure out the answer to this question. On one hand, yes. I still own the Moccamaster and use it on a daily basis to make morning cups of coffee for me and my housemates. On the other hand, the deep dive I took attemp

I purchased a Ratio 4 on 2/11/26. On 3/7/26, I started an email loop with Ratio about my coffee not being hot enough. On 3/13/26, I emailed again, responding to my own email, asking if anyone was going to answer. A short time later, I got a response. The suggestion from them did not work. This morni
