I think it's decent coffee at a very good price point.Depends what I make it in LOL. In the OXO? it's outstanding. In the Breville (at least on the base "Gold" setting) it's pretty good and in the MM sour (if you only leave the MM to it's own devices). Now, if you stand there at it, holding in the safety button, allowing a couple cups of hot water to flow in, then reach in a stir it around wait a bit about 45 seconds, then allow it to finish brewing it is as good as the OXO. I have yet to try it on manipulated settings with the Breville though. I will be trying that tomorrow. And will report back.
I think though, the more I drink coffee from the Breville and the OXO......................the more I am thinking the MM is going to get put up for sale. I also am learning to dislike the pot on the MM. What is with the huge lip all around it? Wife hates it as well. Seems others do as well since I noticed the latest version has a carafe more like my other 2 machines
I do like switching it up a bit with beans though but only within the available assortment at Costco.
I'm convinced you got a lemon of a Moccamaster. Was it new when you bought it?
I have two identical Moccamasters that were brand new in the box that I bought from the same seller in NY on FBMP. Zero issues with both.
I experimented yesterday again with flooding the basket and letting it sit for 30 seconds. Zero difference in taste to either of us.
Just another pot of excellent coffee.
The longer I own the Delonghi Ariete grinder, the more I like it. I'm thinking of swapping it with the Baratza Encore and keep the Baratza at the beach house. Too bad Delonghi discontinued it.
Powerful, fast and decibels quieter than the Baratza. Consistent grind quality too.
