Why do people like the Moccamaster so much?
In my experience, many drip coffee makers tend to brew a burnt- or bitter-tasting cup. The Moccamaster, on the other hand, brews the coffee at an ideal temperature so that it doesn’t burn the grounds or lose the flavor of the beans, according to the brand. Too coarse: If your grind is too coarse, the water will rush through the coffee bed too quickly. This short contact time isn’t enough to extract the deep, sweet flavors, resulting in a classic case of weak, under-extracted coffee. This is the most common reason for a weak brew in a Moccamaster.
