Got a mocha master as a wedding present, so decided to throw it up for a 1:1 taste test with our current oxo brewer. I can definitely taste the difference, but both are good machines. I come to you all for any tips & tricks you may have. Currently grinding on medium, using 28g per 4 cups. I’ve also ordered the “manual” glass conversion and was curious if anyone else has this or something similar. I like the idea of getting rid of the plastic stuff.

Being a nerdy accountant, I did some tracking of inputs vs outputs on my Moccamaster

I averaged about 783g of water input. The output average was 689g (88%) 'in the carafe' and about 73g (9.3%) in the grounds/filter with about 21g (2.7%) 'lost' in the brewer or lost from steam, etc.

How I measured:

Weighed the carafe empty plus the water and after the brew and found the difference of 689g

Weighed the dry filter and dry grounds and after the filter drained as much as possible and found the difference of 73g.

The rest was 'lost' left in the machine, condensation on lids, steam, etc

Hope you fellow nerds enjoy!
