whoever Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 I just bought myself a long wished gift! The praised Moccamaster KBG-741, and i'm so happy to leave the world of standardized "expresso-nespresso-senseo-whatever the crap insert here" ! Now praying for safe delivery! Anyone else has this tool??
Niko Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Good choice. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts once you have received it and made some coffee. I have a very good espresso machine and also a pod machine, but I always go back to the Chemex when I need a really good coffee. Edited December 29, 2013 by Niko
Nanuq Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 I use a pump espresso machine by Via Venezia and I'm very pleased with it.
asciwhite Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 The Moccamaster is the king!! You almost can`t make a bad cup of black coffee with the thing!!
whoever Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks gentlemen! I looooove coffee so much! I'll share impressions as soon as i can!
If you see Kay Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 This is king of the prosumer home machines, (other than the La Marzoccos)
whoever Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Posted December 30, 2013 Yeah, that's exactly what i want to avoid. So many friends have 400+ euro machines, and it takes you 20min to make a single ristreto....which is more than average most of the time. I can't stand all the crema discussions anymore!!! :'(

martijnp Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 Another coffee lover over here! The Moccamaster is a great coffee machine. My uncle have one and it's a great coffee
nlnlnlnene Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 I have a compak k10 grinder and an espresso machine. Also have a drip grinder plus the behmor brazen.
whoever Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Posted December 30, 2013 Haha, now i need a grinder, i know, but my wallet says noooooooooo
Akira Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 I'm using a Graef CM80 coffee grinder I'm using a Hario V60 dripper and Hario server for a good drip coffee: And I have a Studio semi-automatic pump machine for espresso. Always depending on what I'm looking for that day 1
whoever Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Posted December 30, 2013 I'm using a Graef CM80 coffee grinder wow, thats a hell of a grinder! It's so big!
Akira Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 wow, thats a hell of a grinder! It's so big! Well, what can I say...I drink a lot of coffee Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
nlnlnlnene Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Which grinder is that? I have this one (picture not mine though. That marzocco is what I want to buy next)
If you see Kay Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 that Marzocco is a GS3, about 7K
nlnlnlnene Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 that Marzocco is a GS3, about 7K No. It's about 5-5.5k from retailers.
droptopman Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 Had the Moccamaster but with the thermal carafe, a very good machine with perfect water temperature. Makes great coffee really good flavor extraction. Finally bit the dust after many years of good service. Wife killed it. Recently bought a Bonavita which is a smaller sized unit and fits my kitchen better and I am very happy with this machine. Was cheap $189 and works great. Water temp is right on at 204. It is very comparable to the Moccamaster for temp and flavor, just better size for my kitchen so that is why I chose it over the Moccamaster this time.
ceejay Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 I'm an espresso man, Gaggia Classic and an Iberital MC2 grinder. Basic but produces wonderful espresso once you have it all dialled in
sputim Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 I bought this bad boy last year, without regret. Jura Ena 9 One Touch Jura provide Swiss quality and personally I like this coffee machine a lot! Good choice markiemark I am using a Nespresso machine which is on the more expensive side so only 1 coffee a day but for riding the cheap train I have a Bialetti to make old-school coffee and it has an amazing taste! Also very recommendable for camping trips since you only need a hot source, some water and coffee obviously 1
docthor Posted January 2, 2014 Report Posted January 2, 2014 We use a DeLonghi EC750 since 3 years now. Easy to handle, pretty fast and very reliable

When I feel like sh*t, I reach for my hidden stash of 11's and 12's...

I own nespresso as well for convenience but the taste is definitely a huge step down from freshly ground coffee with a good brew method.
