Moccamasters…does yours overfill?

The only time I’ve had issues is if it’s not pushed all the way into the slot that the carafe fits in.

I just buy the mocomaster filters b/c they come in packs of 100, that way I keep it on a cleaning and descaling schedule of every 100 uses.

Have you used a descaler lately? Maybe you just have some buildup?

I've thought about getting a Moccamaster or Technivorm but I can't justify replacing my still functioning Cuisinart drip.

I am in the same boat. hard to justify a $500 machine when my french press works fine.

It’s about water temperature and consistency of that temp…I think. I like that there’s just nothing to break and no clock to set and I like the access to the coffee in the filter so I can stir it when it starts the overpour.

Precise Brewing Temperature
Moccamaster heats water to the optimal range of 196°F to 205°F, which is ideal for proper coffee extraction.
Many regular machines don’t reach or maintain this temperature consistently, which can result in under- or over-extraction.


Even Extraction
Features a 9-hole spray arm that evenly saturates the coffee grounds, promoting uniform extraction.
Cheaper machines often have a single stream of water, which can lead to uneven brewing

I've never had that problem unless I intentionally let it steep by not fully engaging the basket

And when I do that intentionally, I then forget to get back to it before it's too late about 50% of the time

Yeah I learned that after I bought mine.
