You Can Make Your Coffee In The Microwave (yes, really) 

So sorry about the occasional moments where the camera unfocused! Unsure what happened this week!

We need a Morgan Spills Coffee outtakes series. Just moments when coffee grinds and sometimes coffee ends up in the wrong spaces.

As a Brit the idea of a hotel room with a microwave but no kettle is baffling.

that thing you can't figure out what it is. it's to remove the filter so you don't burn yourself or have to use a paper towel like you did. just invert the funnel and it should snap onto the filter so you can raise it out. hope that helps

While Morgan was denied the scoop, Morgan provided us the scoop.

I had one of these! I used it at work to make Americano's! It was great until it exploded. I guess the filter got clogged and the pressure blew it up. Made a HUGE mess in my microwave. Still - before it exploded, it was neat.

"carefully" *immediately touches something straight out of the microwave*

The comparison of this thing from the late 90s to "modern" coffee makers had a bit of sting to it... :D One of my strongest memories form my teen age years--in the long ago (ancient, even!) 1970s is of a moka pot that my dad forgot to put the water into. This was after a leisurely dinner with some of my parents friends and plenty of wine for the adults. Dad went to start some coffee, added the grounds, forgot the water, and put the pot on the gas stove and maxed out the heat. Further conversation ensued and nobody thought about it until the astonishingly bad smell of burned/melted aluminum, coffee grounds, and rubber gasket just permeated the house. Luckily nothing bad happened to the stove or our house. Us teen age kids learned quite quickly that teasing dad about the "coffee incident" was not nearly as fun as we thought it should be. :D

A tip from a chemist. Instead of calling that glass container a test tube, I think it would be more appropriate to call it a beaker. At least it is closer in form and function to what we chemists think of as a beaker than it is to a test tube. Standard beakers come in low form and tall form. That one is taller even than a tall form, so maybe it’s a Wilt Chamberlain form beaker.

On another episode of MorganSpillsCoffee... this is an interesting concept for sure, but if I have a microwave, I think an electric stove + moka pot would probably be a better solution

I used to travel all the time for work. What works better in hotels is a double-walled steel French press (it's survived much longer than my glass ones, through kids and jobsites and travel). Nuke the water in the microwave, or bring an electric kettle. That's how I make coffee at home anyway, so it's like bringing a bit of home with me. I like mocha pot coffee (it's my second go-to method of brewing), but for some reason this strikes me as too much of a gadget. A double-walled steel French press is a work horse by comparison.

You're content has become my new comfort content. Thank you for creating 💕

At first I'd say take my money. But I feel that there are so many other travel brewers that it's a no on this one. But still love the idea of a microwave moka pot. So maby something to purchase just for fun.

The lid falling off made me wheeze with laughter

My first coffee "pot" at 14 was a microwavable percolator. I still have it! Clear glass, basket that stand in the middle (needs a wrap filter) and 8 minutes later, boom coffee.

I’ve only seen your shorts so far, so I had never heard your voice. 😆 It’s very nice, pretty much what I was expecting.

I don't drink coffee since it's one of things I'm very picky on but I love how informative these videos are!

First commenter that actually watched the video end to end, ad included. 10/10 Cat cameo. Very fluid.

try putting the brewer nearer the outside edges of the rotating plate, not the centre 😊 not sure if it will improve the taste, but might help with heating the water better because of microwave science 😅

I have this, it was given to me in a big bag of kitchen stuff from my grandma. Thanks for teaching me how to use it :)

Hello from Kuwait...🙂 I have been following you for a year and I only subscribed to your channel for a few months. The reason for joining your channel is diversity and benefit, especially in the world of coffee ... I never liked coffee 😷, but from following you I started to try some methods 👍😍.... Thank you for your beautiful and useful advice 👸👑🌹🍵

The slide in at the start of all your videos always puts a big dumb smile on my face

you should try a Vietnamese drip press! I think of it like the espresso version of a pourover lol. Also review some Vietnamese coffee. TBH, I really want you to do a review of every single coffee-related item from an entire Asian market. it would make for a fun video :)

Farberware made a microwaveable drip maker that takes cone filters, called the MicroBrew. If you dig, you can read stories from when it came out in the early 90s about the R&D went into it. I picked one up at a thrift store. It’s not bad until you have to pour.

I've had the same issue with travel coffee myself (hotel coffee is just-- UGH). I ended up getting one of those portable Nespresso pod machines where you manually pump the pre-boiled water through the pod/basket and a collapsible kettle. Works pretty well and fits easily in a suitcase.

I just ordered Trade coffee with your link and I'm very excited for my coffee and to support your videos!

Interesting! A few years earlier Mr Coffee made a microwave brewer that made a fair cup of coffee. I think I donated it in a fit of cleaning out, but I took it on an overseas duty assignment, and it served.

I got so fed up of not having a kettle when I go to the US that I bought a portable nespresso pump. It brews one cup at a time in about 8 minutes because it heats the water for each cup separately... So not the most energy efficient but at least it's rechargeable 😅

Morgan your Championship video was exceptional. It just got recommended and i am glad it did as i have only seen you on my Instagram reels.

Just wondering - would the tiny basket fit in the hoop thingy so it functions like a scoop and you could directly scoops pre-ground coffee?

The scoop looks like it’s from the EE100 model, which pictures it on the box as the black handle part that you have, and a separate metal “bucket” that it holds Edit: I think it’s supposed to go around the coffee chamber to allow you to scoop up coffee in it, then you can remove the handle and place it in the brewer?

The fact that its heat and make moka pot coffee in less than 2min is pretty good though!

You're like a more composed and mature DankPods and I love it

Mine still works like a charm! It’s always delish!!!

I love these videos where you review weird little brewers!

This was so fun!! I don’t drink coffee, but this was very informative and super entertaining!

I like the idea of this - you could get a more consistent product from the microwave than stovetop, both heat and timing. I wonder if there’s an updated version of this by someone?

Speaking of microwave coffee brewers from mass-market appliance manufacturers, I’ve always been mildly fascinated when I’ve seen the Presto Myjo in the store. It’s sorta-kinda-almost-not-quite a cross between a k-cup and an aeropress. You can microwave the water reservoir (or just fill from a kettle), attach to the pod holder and seat on a mug, then force the water though with a contraption that’s more of a bellows than a plunger. K-cups aren’t for me, probably aren’t for most of the viewers onhere, but it certainly clears the low bar of the most interesting k-cup brewer as I’ve seen.

Congratulations Morgan on your achievement in the World Barista Championships! ❤️🏆You were awesome and cuter than ever. 😳

That looks a ring for blowing bubbles! :D

Check out the Gemco Micro Perk. It’s a 2-4 cup microwave percolator. Pretty neat. I had one for a while. It made coffee.

Ah…yet another brewer in our “espresso brewers graveyard!” We had a moka pot, a Turkish coffee pot and one of those. All of these belonged to my husband before I drank coffee. Now I am a barista 😂 I love learning from you!

Have you tried using a Softbrew by Sowden? You can get them at Hay in the States. I always liked using it, very easy, if a little silty at the bottom.

Damn Morgan, you're a beast. You almost ro a Milly subs and I was here when you had under 100k. Lettttttts goooooo! And at rhe end, I can tell you have clearly drank too much of the motor oil ( that's what I call moka pit brew).

That slide was stupidly smooth! :D

You cleaned it just for me? Ahhhh I feel so special☺

I came from watching a video of you in the Barista Championship! It was quite fascinating, and I don't even drink coffee.

I love the color of this brewer

I was in college in the 1980’s and I will attest: folks called Mika pot coffee “espresso.”

I think the picopresso is a better option for hotel rooms. It is going to give true midrange quality espresso and only needs a kettle and hand grinder. Old version the minipresso wasn't that great as it was difficult to clean and made a bigger mess while making coffee. Picopresso is harder to learn though as it has more components involved

I still have mine that I bought brand new. I was also extremely confused by the hoop. It got me through several long study nights.

And just like that my day got better

What a beautiful spoon you have there.

(I love your videos!) Is the coffee chamber included… metal? Metal that should probably not actually go in the microwave…? In a future video, I would love to see a huge decaf coffee review. 😊 (Keep making your awesome videos!)

I love how you continued after times where you messed up in the video. I always wondered how to make microwave coffee. Where can I buy that mocapot.

I like the idea I will 100% try this one day 👌🏻

You know they're doing something right, when someone like me who doesn't drink coffee watch the videos anyway 😂

Morgan entering James's territories and I'm here for it!

“Not extraordinary but fun” I feel seen 😂

I am your big fan seriously.

Hi Morgan! I love your content! They’re always so informative! Would you ever consider trying Awesome Coffee Club?

Yayyyy ANOTHER VIDEOOOO!!! 🎉🎉❤️

I'm pretty sure it came out in 1997. My dad was given one for Christmas by the other owner of his business, because he drank so much dang coffee. Like, I'm talking 12 to 24 CUPS (of Americano style) every day. He used it for years until it got knocked off the counter and broken by the office cat 😂

I think aeropress is still a go to travel brewer for me hahaha

definetely better than those pods they give you alongside that nespresso machine in hotel rooms.

Hi Morgan, just got an ad for something called an avery brewer. Looks like an automated pour over that’s powered by gravity. Would love to see your review of it in the future!

In Norway there used to be, but people tended to steal them. Mum, who travels a lot, brings with her a lightweight 0.5 litre kettle in her bag

Loved the review. Mine did not come with the scoop or filter. I was disappointed because I really wanted to try it.😔

Maybe the “scoop” is when you put the brewing chamber in the ring+handle

Hi Morgan, I love your videos. Can you do a video on how to clean a manual grinder. I have a hario smart G and can't find any instructional video on how to clean it. I'm afraid I might break it :(

can you try to make cuban coffee in a Moka pot? we (cubans) tamp down the coffee in a moka pot. we also do the sugar "espuma". give it a shot, please!!

Can you please do a video on moka pots too! I love mine but still feel like I don't know exactly the best way to drink the coffee. Should i add extra hot water to make it a full "cup"? What coffee drinks would benefit from slight more concentrated coffee??

"West of your week" sounds like the start of the week...or in the future if by Lewis & Clark reckoning.

Maybe the "scoop" provided is more a funnel and leveling device?🤔

You can just feel James Hoffman vibrating in anger because of this video

Love your videos ❤😂

I would never want to actually buy or use this microwave moka pot, but.... it does occur to me... you absolutely *could* make an actual compact, microwave-heated espresso maker. Seal water in a plastic chamber, heat in the microwave, take it out and put the now hot and pressurized chamber into a frame, and use that heat and pressure to make espresso. I think the engineering in safely utilizing an already hot and pressurized water chamber that has to be directly handled by the user is going to make it not a very profitable device, but it could absolutely be built if someone cared enough. It would also probably be too expensive for me to want to actually buy it, but if someone made one I'd certainly look into it.

Sometimes scoops are just taken away from you... deep truth.

ABOUT TO START DOING THIS AT WORK

Morgan is a genius

THE TURTLENECK!!!!! All is right in the world

Hello:D I love your hair it's so pretty!

The sudden appearance of the cat made me think it would be neat to see outtakes of your vids like animal interruptions as shorts lol

We need more cats in the videos

The coffee chamber looks like it fits on the circular bit with the handle to create a scoop.

I need one of it

OH MY GAWD? I HAVE ONE OF THESE!

Okay making coffee is now an art form.No more instant coffee for me.

im sorry if this is weird but I had only watched your tiktoks and I was so sure you were australian so im having a bit of a crisis right now. you just give off such australian vibes

That opening slide tho

The black plastic thingy may be a dosing ring to help prevent spilling grounds

Don’t pour hot coffee into a dual walled glass. If you’re planning to drink it right away. It can’t cooldown fast to be drinkable.

I frowned after reading the title.

Thank you for showing us your mooooka pot

10:06 that line killed me

I wonder what would happen if you leave it to brew for 2 minutes and serve right away, without waiting for those last few drops of over-extraction to come out?

Fun video as usual! By the way, what grinder are you using for espresso now? Still the Rocky? I see a Malkhonig and a Baratza behind you. 😊

Congrats Morgan for winning 1st runner up for the World Barista Championship 2022!

This week was very much a Morgan Drinks Irish coffee. Not a bad thing, but different for sure.

Silly off topic question: Can I use Melitta filters in an Origami cone? I have a lot of them
