I have a moccamaster cup one and love it.
I agree with this. I look forward to plain drip coffee from home. I mean I put a splash of sweet cream in it…but I look forward to it. The grind, the brew, the ritual. I have the Cup-One. It tastes SO MUCH BETTER than a k-cup.
I am glad I didn’t go the “one cup” route and got the KBGV. When people come over it’s nice to make a huge pots and got my daily 20oz cup it’s perfect.
If money is not a issue, get a moccamaster. 2 buttons. No fancy bells and whistles.its among the best machines and its considered a BFL machine. 5 year warranty and after moccamaster can repair for like 60. you mail it in.
If you go moccamaster it goes on sale a few times a year. Keep an eye on slick deals. Love my machine.
I agree with u/No-Beach-8401. A big rabbit hole! My case is single cup grind and drip brew daily. Moccamaster Cup One is what I choose 3 years ago and it is also built like a tank. The grinder is the most important step though. For that, I use the Niche Zero. Expensive? Yes, but totally worth it. Good luck!
RE: Moccamaster tanks. Let's put it this way, if you are consistent with the cleaning and descaling, it should last you decades. No joke.
I've had my Cup One for 3 years now and I love it. Built like a tank and just about all components can be replaced if necessary. It brews consistently well. If you keep up with regular maintenance, it will last you a lifetime. Just spend the extra $60 and buy one new. You won't regret it.
I overfill my cup one to do 14oz every time and it works just fine.
Get the "Cup One". If you want a second cup of coffee, just brew a another cup. It doesn't take that long. If your family/friends aren't coming over "frequently" for coffee, buying a machine that brews a whole or half pot and then rigging it to brew one cup for daily use doesn't really make sense (to me). Purchase for the norm, not the exception.
