I guess it is similar to what a *Bold* setting does on some other coffee makers, such as the Cuisinart DCC 3200, which intermittently pauses the water flow. I wonder if that is an option on the OXO or is that it's standard operating procedure.
I've been watching lots of coffee maker reviews on your channel, great job! I've never seen you comment on how long the thermal carafe keeps coffee hot. Have you ever done that testing?
I have had that mochamaster model for the past 3 years. About 6 months ago the power switch stopped working. I had to pay to have it shipped, it was fixed and returned. Now I’m having problems with it leaking from under base (left,front). Tired of dealing with it. It makes great coffee when working, but it’s expensive and you can’t program it. I ordered the OXO model shown. It arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
Interesting how the OXO copied the water tube from the moccamaster. Also looks like the OXO saturated the coffee better. Yeah, I agree, the moccamaster carafe feels cheap to me too.
yeah the coffee grounds were floating in the OXO but the Moccamaster just had enough water to keep the coffee grounds wet but not floating. I wonder which way is better. The moccamaster had a better bloom.
Not sure you would think that if you used both in person (maybe you have?). I bought and tried the moccamaster and thought the plastic felt cheap and minimal, same with the glass. Which is odd since the metal body and heating element is built really well.
@@krehbein I thought the same thing, the carafe was the cheapest part of the moccamaster, which is odd since it looks so nice. Yeah the plastic does feel a bit cheap, but it was fast and very consistent with nice even 200 degree brew water.
@@JustADad I like that the OXO has the stainless steel carafe, no warming plate that tends to continue “brewing” the coffee in a way, making it less of a fresh brew and sometimes bitter, stale.
As always, superbly done, superbly fun, greatly appreciate the temperature and taste test, a really great comparison, thank you Always fun to see miss Fiona, 🐶
Question...one year later 😊 at the end of the brew, it appears that the MoccaMaster has some dry grounds. Do you remember if that was actually true? Or is it just a trick of the camera?
You used the same amount of coffee in each, but more water in the OXO. Their "cup" sizes are different. If only there was some international standard for cup sizing....
For the “cup difference” it’s really the “9 cup” that is more than the “10 cup” as they each have different sized “cups”. The oxo’s are 5fl oz/cup whereas the moccamaster is 4fl oz/cup. The oxo additionally extracts more from the coffee than the moccamaster. If you have money to BLOW go with the oxo, but if you wanna be wise, spend on the moccamaster as it will last you a quarter of your life.
Interesting. I have the same OXO but it drips like crazy when I remove the pot and doesn't hold enough grounds for me and my strong coffee 🤐. Was looking at the moccamaster but unless the water head it higher than the OXO I guess it won't matter.
Get the Cuisinart DCC 3200--it will brew 14 cups (2 liters, actually--I just measured it), which means that the filter receptacle (#4 cone) would be big enough if you brewed, say, 10 cups but used more coffee. It also heats the water to the correct temperature, and has a *Bold* function which slows down the brewing like the OXO, but it's optional.
