I’ve had the moccamaster for a few years. Gift from my dad. It’s All good. I just get the coffee and water ready the night before. Hit the button when I wake up. No bs technology in it. It’s just makes coffee at the perfect temp. At least that what’s they say.chemex make good coffee but are kind of an ordeal. i have the small pour over and then a big chemex for when I have my girl stay over. the chemex with it's smooth sides creates a suction against the filter so you have to lift the filter to get it flowing. i got a reusable filter for the chemex and it's even worse in that regard. basically feels like I have to stand there holding the filter which makes me think "they should invent a machine to do this". the smaller pour over doesn't have that problem.
i finally ordered a coffee maker last night. a moccamaster with glass carafe. then i realized it doesn't appear to have auto start. what the hell. for 300 bucks i just took that as a given.
this thing had better make the best cup of folgers I've ever had or i'll be bummed.
