The Perfect Moccamaster Brew Recipe: Making Cafe-Quality Coffee At Home 

If the larger metal mass makes a difference, I'm sure that fanatical people will run a batch of plain water through, to pre-heat the metal.

Sifting out the fines enables him to go that low.

Without knowing the condition of your equip, etc - I’d recommend starting somewhere in the center and dialing in according to your preference.

Shoot us a DM, would love to send you some

The shimmy thing seemed cool but immediately I thought "really?! One more 'thing' to spend MORE money on?! Why can't the damn grinder just grind in a fashion that does not produce ground coffee that is inferior and requires further manipulation...?"

@@RaymondRAYCEALL grinders produce fines.

I was using 46 but I just bought the Ode gen 2 and use that now.

@@Veggiebonbon Thank you, do you like the Ode gen 2 much better than the Breville

@@mikesabran well, I think I do, but I am merly a coffee enthusiast. I wanted to get it try try out the flat burrs vs the Breville conical ones. I definitely enjoy the ode gen 2 and am please with my purchase but if it’s not in your budget to upgrade, the smart pro is still a great grinder.

I had the same thought… that’s not right

The recipe seems to be 'to the line' and the part that is in error is him saying '500mL', instead of 16 ounces (which is called 4 """cups""", by Technivorm).

It must be different for the brewers with the thermal carafe. The lines correspond to liters on mine (line 1 is 250ml, 2 is 500ml, etc).

Where is the stainless steel shower head or the 3d printed shower head We paid real $ and no word or product from you. Please advise.

A true German would make their own Shimmy, out of billet tool steel, to precise dimensions (ten thousandths, obviously). Nice try, though!

😂 Dumb.

...by drinking caffeinated

I see no downside to running a cycle with plain water... it will wet the filter and pre-heat the outlet arm. Aside from taking an extra 4 minutes...

Perhaps, and it should be noted that 4 Technivorm """cups'"" is actually only 16 ounces, not 32 ounces as you would expect. Also, there's no line for 5 cups... but there are lines for 4 and 6 cups, etc.

This machine is for coffee much better than Dunkin’

It's a bit confusing, but a """half pot""" is enough for one decent sized mug of coffee... equivalent to *16 ounces* of coffee (pint glass) or *a 'large' coffee at McDonald's.* For me that's about 1 serving (therefore the smallest amount I'm likely to brew). There are several lines marked on the reservoir -- the lines are marked '2,4,6,8,10' and you multiply those by 4, to get the equivalent volume in ounces: 2=8 ounces (only about half a mug of coffee, LOL) 4=16 ounces (~half pot, decent mug) 6=24 ounces (~half pot, extra large mug or travel mug, etc.) 8=32 ounces (two large McDonald's coffee cups) 10=40 ounces (full pot) As far as the settings on the brew basket, the model I have only has 'fully open, for a full pot', 'half way open for a half pot', and 'closed to prevent dripping or to bloom'. If you want to make a very small amount, I highly suspect you can use the brew basket from the Cup One model, which has a small hole to change brew timing for only one cup, and is designed to make 10 ounces of coffee. Or something like a standard plastic Melita pour over cone basket that uses #2 filters (haven't tried it yet, but it fits on the brew basket shelf on the Technivorm -- might need rubber bands to secure it).

I have been using the Select from December’23. Often it’s just the two of us. I transfer the beans into plastic centrifuge tubes ( mine ar graduated to 50 ml, but to avoid airspace I fill to the brim and knock it down to fill any gaps too) so it’s usually around 20 grams +/- 2 grams. I’ve found I get a strong enough brew I like to drink with milk ( I prefer with milk and sugar as my first cup) with 500 ml - the 4 cup mark. If I want to brew less, I use half a tube and pour to the 2 cup mark. Taste is individual preference, and what I find good for me may not be so for anther… but still I hope this helps

I meant I store the beans in the centrifuge tubes, and open one for each time I want to grind fresh

The only disappointment with the moccamaster is water dispersion. Agitating the grounds really does make a significant difference. I went as far as buying a second arm and using an ice pick to redirect the water ejection. It helps, but I'm looking forward to trying the prototype spray head.

I seen that👀

Filters lay flatter if you fold them, and I’ve had a couple break on me when I didn’t fold them. But if wetting the paper makes it stick to the side and it doesn’t break, you should be fine

The carafe version doesn't come in that pretty pistachio color😁

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think any of the thermal carafe versions have the switch that slows down the brew process. I have a KBT model, and it doesn't have that switch.

you can set it aside for making Turkish coffee later?

Grind setting is not universal for all roasts and volumes brewed. Lesser amounts, as well as lighter roasts, need a finer grind. Additionally, sifting allows him to grind much finer than he ordinarily would. You likely would not want to go that fine, if you did not sift out all the super fine particles. If you ground that fine, and did not sift out all the super fine particles, like he says, in the video, you would experience harness and muddyness in the cup.

Try spraying just a tiny bit of water into your whole being prior to grinding.

I don't off the unit because we use the pot after for about a hour. I thought that you could leave the coffee maker on because it keeps the coffee at a perfect heat range after that brewing cycle. Am I wrong?

Gen 2 is definitely a different setting!

I have the same Gen 1 fellow ode with Gen 2 fellow burrs, and I've used 7 as well for grind settings. Isn't 1.9 to fine for the moccamaster?

@@Coffeehaus So you recommend setting 1 for Drip coffee? thanks

I was thinking the same thing! I’m at a few clicks above 5 on my gen 2 fellow

Me as well

Currently being produced! The pre-stainless launches are headed out the door - slowly. It takes us about 19.5 hours to produce each one. Stainless, we should see this spring!

V pumped for these stainless brew arms

Also want stainless steel as well 😊

Keep us posted

I use RO water. Do you think third wave is still necessary?

I agree on the shaking for fines, but the pre Bloom stir In my eyes and the paperfilter Rinse is easy done and lends itself to noticable improvement

I don't personally go to all the trouble in the video, but I suppose you could do larger batches and separate/seal them in the right quantities. I have very good tap water, so the idea of 'making' water seems absurd to me. If I had crummy water, I'd probably be obsessed, though.

Total Dissolved Solids

But when you add minerals back to distilled water, it's no longer distilled water. It's also not reverse osmosis filtered

Yeah it’s bs. His recipe is completely fucked. He mixes his own water, uses all the most expensive and useless tools and then brews at a ratio of 1:14 or something because he thinks 4 cups=500ml🤡 😂

Yeah I put so much cream and sugar in mine that it doesn't matter what machine I use😅

Why don’t you put a video on the internet so anonymous losers can comment? I do give you credit. You wear your asshat well. Doesn’t. Even. Wobble.

When I first read your review I was like “c’mon it’s a coffee tutorial”…then 48 minutes into the video I was like “you said it perfectly”

What you’re not understanding is that this kind of technique would be for someone who is an enthusiast. Of course Joe Blow is not going to take it to this level.

Crazy stuff indeed when a machine is supposed to automate what we do.

Once you've had what YOU consider a GREAT cup of coffee that doesn't get worse as you drink it and tastes the same cup after cup, brew after brew... day after day... well, you get it🎉... It's no problem at all❤

If you’re not interested in coffee then why even watch the video or even be rude?

I think it's the opposite -- the machines are designed to produce good results with a full pot. So, people are more interested in making a half pot that's perfect. By the way, that 'half pot' that he made is really only the equivalent of a large coffee at McDonald's... about one serving, for me. I might drink two, some days.
