Technivorm Moccamaster 69212 Cup-One Polished Silver

Good tasting coffee, easy to use and keep clean, simple. I've been using it for a month, and its easy to get the hang of. It does make a fairly predictable cup of coffee, but I've still noticed taste variations between cups. I think this has to do with how fast the drip works. Depending on the angle of the filter, it can block it a bit and make for a slower brew. So its not perfectly precise! But its the best I've come across. I use 12 oz of water for a decent sized cup, you can probably get 14 ounces into the water tank.I am using an Fellow Ode 2 grinder, and have settled on between 5 and 6 on the dial for the medium roast coffees I like. I don't like using paper disposable filters, so I ordered some PRECISE BREW V60-01 Filters, which are these yellow synthetic cloth reusable filters that do an excellent job of substituting for the paper ones. Zero silt in the cup, and good taste.Now my only worry is making multiple cups for guests lol.

Es sin duda alguna una maquina robusta, sólida y con calidad excelente. Produce café con excelentes características y la temperatura exacta en cada taza. Recomiendo este producto ampliamente.

This thing makes an excellent, consistent cup of coffee. All you have to do is bring it the right beans and it does the rest. It's a perfect solution for people who want the freshest, hottest cup of coffee every time, not that lukewarm second cup that you get with a big carafe. The only downside is the filter sometimes gets jammed, so you need to make sure it's clear before you brew.

I’ve been using a V60 pour over to make my coffee for nearly a decade and this Moccamaster is better! You can also use a V60, Chemex and other brewers with it but I keep going back to the original brewer that comes with the unit and the Moccamaster filters. I’ve tried the Militta filters and their a big step down from the Moccamaster filters, I’d recommend staying with the Moccomaster filters. It’s really easy to use… fill water to the line, 2 scoops of coffee and hit the power button. I’m using a Fellow Ode grinder with SSP MP burrs, I also use distilled water with third wave water and this set up with the Cup One is really amazing, I actually prefer it to the pour overs I get at a specialty coffee shop. Very well made, will last a long time… I feel it’s well worth the money spent and if I ever need a larger brewer it’ll be the Moccamaster Select. If you’re looking for a single cup coffee maker this is the one to get!

UPDATE: 2 months after my original impressions, I've gotten into the groove of using it and how to get the most out of it. I've concluded that setting-and-forgetting this machine sufficiently renders great coffee without altering anything out of standard coffee making procedure. The damp coffee grounds left after brewing do indeed still form a cone-pyramid shape, but I haven't noticed hardly any difference from when I stir the grounds during brewing 2-3 times vs. not touching it at all. This bumps the machine from 4 to 5 stars. This is the best single serve machine on the market. Now read my review below and keep in mind what I just mentioned.I'm going to be rather critical of this machine since I spent a pretty penny on it. But if this gets 4 stars, 99% of other auto-drip brewers probably get 1-2 stars.This machine is fantastic. I've put about 15 cycles through it, and the ones where I measured temp, they all came out to ~198-200F, and all went thru the brew process of 300g/10oz water (medium fine grind) in about 5 mins total, from flipping the switch to the last drip, 5:30 at the longest. So it does what it says it's supposed to, which is great.A few design features confuse me. The lid that sits atop the reservoir and drip cone sits a little precariously (it wants to tip if you touch the cone side). This is minor, but I feel like maybe a hinged joint on the reservoir side and the cone side would be more robust. Additionally, the drip spout is a simple U-shaped tube (longer on one side). I wonder why Technivorm didn't follow the design of the other higher volume brewer models and design a shower-head design instead of just a dripper that drops water right into one spot the whole brew process instead of the even showering you see in bigger models. I don't think this would necessarily lead to better flavor, but from what I know about pour-over coffee, a more even wetting of grounds is always better. The grounds do seem to all get wet, but once dry, they form an inverted cone/canyon once the brewing is done. I stir the grounds/water after about 30 seconds to hopefully combat this possibly negative effect. I'm too fiddly to resist, but the coffee tastes great either way. The reason I included this tidbit is that if you pay this much for a brewer that is supposed to be mostly autonomous, there should have to be minimal interference for good coffee. This is probably why I'm putting 4 stars instead of 5. If someone provides me with enough compelling evidence that this doesn't matter, I'll change it to 5.The coffee is excellent. Without the cup preheated, and waiting about a minute after brewing ends, the coffee is at the perfect temp for drinking. The mug is nice as well, and the filters seem to be flavorless/neutral.This sits in my office and gets to brew 2 * 10oz cups for me daily (Onyx Geometry, Colombia/Ethiopia blend is great through this). If you only plan to brew for yourself, this machine is perfect, because if I brewed 2 cups a day through a machine with a thermal carafe or burner, that 2nd cup would be stale/lukewarm 6 hours later, I almost guarantee it (even the good Zojirushi carafes/warmers cool off after about 4-5 hours). So it's a quick, fresh cup on demand. DO NOT buy this if you plan to brew for multiple people or an office. Grab one of the bigger volume models.
