I usually brew 2-3 cups of coffee in the morning in the Moccamaster. Sometimes around midday I’ll make a single cup of decaf in my v60.
It has been a while since I made a cup of decaf and didn’t feel like finding/digging out my kettle and this setup occurred to me, so I went for it.
As it was brewing, I realized I probably should have just brewed into the Moccamaster pot, but my brain was still focused on decaf=v60.
Should I surrender my self to the authorities now?
I know it isn’t really the point, but your setup is so visually pleasant. Very aesthetic.
Haha - thanks! I’m typically a function over form type, but I fell in love with the colors of the Moccamaster brewers so I just leaned into it.
Here’s a wide shot of my (ever transforming) setup. It’s the happiest I’ve been with it in both form and function
Believe it or not, jail.
We have the best coffee in the world, because of jail.
I think you should’ve surrendered when you started brewing decaf 😛
What can I say? My love of coffee exceeds my body’s capacity to process caffeine.
Before we were old enough to drink my friends and I would sit in the local diner shooting the shit and drinking free refills of coffee until the sun started coming up before we would go home and immediately crash.
Can’t do that anymore. One of the first ways my body started failing me as I’ve gotten older…
Moccamaster is like the most ordinary run of the mill coffee machine where I live
Great looking setup!
I love drip coffee and then was a French press guy for years but now I’m a decaff pour over type with the ceramic top. I wish there were drip machines without plastic.
Trying to remember my exact progression; I think it was:
- Cheap auto-drip (very brief)
- French press (few years)
- Moka pot (few months)
- French press (few years)
- Aeropress (few years)
- Espresso - BBE (couple years)
- Percolator - (very brief)
- Aeropress (about a year)
- Keurig 🤪(too long…6mo?)
- Pour over- v60 (very brief)
- Expensive auto-drip
…which is where I’ve been for a couple months now, but intend to stay for the long haul…
Are you brewing directly over the pour over? I’ve never seen that before.
This mad lad just needed a bubble pump but went and got the whole kit and caboodle.
Yeah - I rotated the output arm on the Automatic brewer 180° so it brewed over the pour over instead of over its own brew basket. The design of this particular brewer totally accommodates it but I don’t think it was intentional…I’ve never seen it done before anyway.
Does it taste different than just brewing normally? I am intrigued cause I have the exact same brewer.
To me, not particularly, but one thing I’ve learned after trying tons of brewing setups is, I don’t really have that refined of a palate…
Eh, no biggie, though just means you’re just doing standard drip coffee!
I’m sorry, but 4 cups by midday??
You drink over a liter of coffee before afternoon?? 😂
I love coffee, but I feel like the caffeine addiction at that point would be debilitating.
And to think I was worried about going to coffee geek jail for unapproved brewing methods.
Turns out I’m going to coffee geek jail for drinking too much coffee…
Sorry for letting everyone down 😞
Virgin coffee geek drinking for caffeine vs Chad coffee geek drinking purely for taste
Congratulations, you’ve made a drip coffee machine with 2 baskets but you can only use one at a time
Pretty cunning if you ask me.
How’s the flow rate on dat boi?If the temp hot enough and, and flow is good enough, why not?
Jail? You seriously hope to go to jail for this? I don’t think you understand what crime is.
We only send the most heinous offenders to coffee geek jail. We’re coming for you, Folgers drinkers!
My grudge is against instant coffee drinkers. Why do y’all hate your tastebuds?
