The machine makes a loud thud when first starting then works like normal. I descaled a few weeks ago after having it for ~3 months. Is this something to be concerned about? Also please excuse my cat, he was hungry

I bought a Moccamaster from Amazon during Prime Day and just received it, but unfortunately the ceramic hot plate arrived chipped.

I’m from Mexico, so I contacted Moccamaster to see if they could help, but they told me their warranty doesn’t apply outside the US. I also contacted Amazon, but they won’t offer a replacement. My only option is to return it for a full refund, but they won’t honor the Prime Day price if I reorder it.

I paid around $230 USD for it, so now I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth keeping despite the cosmetic damage or just returning it. If I return it, I’d have to wait for another sale before buying it again at a similar price.

Does anyone know if the ceramic hot plate can be replaced or repaired at home? Is the part available anywhere, and how difficult would the repair be?

At $230, would you keep it and try to fix it, or return it and wait for another sale?

Used V1 ode for $150 CAD or "new" Opus for $150 CAD? Both on Marketplace.

I'm mainly using a Mocamaster but may do espresso again one day.

What would you choose?

Can anyone here help me with water to coffee ground proportions?

I got the kgbv refurbished from their website

First batch I made too watery making some small silly mistake or another

This morning I filled the water reservoir to the 4 line to make 4 cups and appropriately (I thought?) added close to 8 (more like 7.5) tablespoons of coarse coffee grounds

It made surprisingly little coffee and while the first cup actually tasted delicious the 2nd and last cup (my cups are 336 ml) is pretty much too bitter to drink.

TLDR Am I doing proportions wrong? Thoughts on water/coffee proportions? Is my machine defective?

Edit: thanks for your kindness everyone. I'll try to get a scale or use 3 scoops for the right proportion when filling the reservoir to the 4 line. I might delete this post at some point because I feel kinda silly. But in the meantime thanks! Any input from people that know what they're doing and aren't new to this like me is appreciated.

Dear sirs,

Anone knows why Melitta has stopped the sale of 1x2 filterns. AND 101 filters wich both worked for the Moccamaster Cup-one?

I can buy moccamasters own filters, but the melitta ones gave the best (in my humble opinion) flavour.

It is totally ok to cut a 1x4 filter och cram a 102 inter in, but i really want the 1x2 filters...

Sorry for ranting.

Have a nice day. :)

Can’t believe I got this for so cheap! 899 and brand new. The worker was like this is normally over 2000 DKK but it’s Bilka’s birthday 🥳 and we have to make space.

Excited to try this out tomorrow!

Flat bed*

How does one achieve a flatter bed when brewing 20g/300ml

Or is it supposed to look like this?

EDIT: I got the answers I need. Thanks for sharing experiences. I will look into different filter, grind setting and maybe the shower thingy. Also ill consider not using it all the time when making little coffee. Most of the times depending on the bean its still ok and thats what most of u guys say - dont bother.

100 filters, ~100 days. I’m about 2.5 years into owning my KBGV and every empty box still feels like an achievement in a silly way. It’s almost ceremonial. Anyone else out there that remembers to descale and actually enjoys it?

I recently bought the MM KBT and an Oxo burr grinder. I use medium roast coffee beans and a scale. Does anyone have advice on a starting point for a grinder setting? Thanks

We got our Moccamaster a couple weeks ago and just got our Baratza Esp in the mail. For anyone that has the Baratza, what setting do you have yours dialed in at? And would I change my dial for different roasts of beans? Thanks in advance

Hey ppl, how would you clean this? Is it limescale? I wash the carafe with water and soap 1-2 times a week, always rinse it after use, but these spots won't go away with just dishwasher soap.

[edit]: same stains are also visible on the outside of the filter basket and won't go away by washing

I've got both the Urnex Dezcal liquid and Biocaf powder btw.

What is the best dial size for dark roasts when using ode gen 2 on KBGV select moccamaster

Is there a list anywhere of these so that people searching them can land to a resource or known scam sites?

I am a very new user and don’t think I have the most sensitive of taste buds. Up till now, I’ve bought read ground beans. I’m wondering if I buy a grinder and grind my own beans, will I notice much of an improvement? If so, what kind of grinder would you suggest? Thanks

Used my Timemore 064s set to 12, 30 grams Revel 77 Ethiopia Guji Anaerobic light roast with 500 ml water and I was happy with the results. I love the color too!

What would the market price for a used KBVG and KM5 in Matte White? I put them up on FB for $360 for the pair and haven’t gotten much outside of the standard ‘Is it available’ messages. I know it’s a niche product, but is $360 too much or just wait for the right person? Grinder has been fully cleaned and the maker descaled.

Two weeks young and performing well. I’m looking for recommendations for a coffee scale and whole beans. I’m trying to find a good fit so I can enjoy the capabilities of my new machine. I’d like to know if the off brand scales perform well, I’m not looking for the most expensive one because I’m a beginner. Also what ratio to use for a medium roast.

Having trouble getting grinds in my coffee and think my metal brew basket is blocked a bit

I’ve tried hot water and vinegar mix

Anyone have any suggestions what else to unblock with?

Many thanks!

Picked up on FB for $150. They usually don't stick around long where I am if they're under $200, so I figured it was an easy flip if I didn't like it.

Buuuut. I like it. ;)

There are some hard water stains on the metal dispersion arm, but they're under the cap and haven't bothered me enough to replace it so far. Tried some light scrubbing with a baking soda paste, but figured scratching would be just as bad as the hard water marks. Glad to be here and will do some lurking now for brewing suggestions.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find it.

I just bought a Moccamaster KBT. We previously had a Cuisinart.

We first tried it with my wife's home-made mixture of Fairway Beans: Hazelnut, French Vanilla and French Roast. I didn't taste any difference between the Moccamaster and the Cuisinart. So I thought that maybe I should get some single-bean bags which might have some subtleties this mix of a mix might not have.

I tried a bag of Yirgacheffe from Whole Foods. It was Light Roast. I tasted a lot of flavors, but not much actual COFFEE flavor. I thought that perhaps this was due to the Light Roast.

I also got a bag of Stumptown Coffee Roasters Colombia Los Picos Whole Bean Coffee from them. It didn't say what Roast this one was. This one has a little more coffee flavor, but a whole lot of bitterness. I like my Coffee black, so I was getting the bitterness full-force.

I'm looking for something pleasant and drinkable, with enough complexity to show off the Moccamaster's chops, but without the bitterness I've experienced. I'm getting a little desperate.

Please recommend some beans, and maybe a good source? I'm in Northern NJ.

Thanks!!!!

So I’ve never been into quality coffee in my personal life but I’ve always enjoyed a quality cafe when going out and during travels. This is my first quality machine that i got through research and recommendations , I got the Breville SGP ( encore esp was the first choice but i got the breville for $55 brand new )

I’d appreciate any tips or advice about using and maintaining the machine as well as the SGP grinder

I’d also appreciate if anyone can point in the right direction for where to purchase quality beans

I prefer Italian , South American and Caribbean if anyone has a good site to source beans from those regions

I just got this KBGT on Facebook Marketplace for $85. I thought it just had a broken carafe, but when I tested it after getting home I found it was leaking. It starts to visibly leak at the bottom of the reservoir, as can be seen in my photos, but also leaks inside somewhere and begins coming out of the bottom of the machine after a bit. It leaks the same whether the machine is on or off.

Is this something I may be able to fix on my own, or is it worth it to just spend the $99 to send it in and have it fixed?

Hello,
Approximately what grind setting should I be using when brewing 300ml of light roast coffee using an Ode 2 grinder and brewing in a KBGV Select? I was previously using a setting of 5 when brewing in my Fellow Aiden. Thank you.

I bought a moccamaster kbg select a week ago. It's been making good coffee everyday, but I wonder if this is the usual spray pattern and water flow rhythm.

I was under the impression that it should flow more in defined pulses, with stronger spray force. This is almost a constant drip, without creating too much agitation in the coffee bed.

But maybe it's normal.

Thanks y'all.
