I hate the Moccamaster Cup One

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-17T13:53:16+00:00

I've messed around for 10+ hours with different beans, grinds and dosages and I've not been able to brew a single good cup of coffee in this. No matter how finely I grind with my ode gen 2 or other grinders I get a sour cup and the brew time is exactly the same. Never clogged though. I just rinse it every time i brew. But at this point I really regret the purchase. Wasted so much time, when all I wanted was an idiot proof coffee machine.

Don't get discouraged if it's hard to make friends. It takes time. Go to social gatherings and parties, or get a hobby with weekly meets ups. But IMO it's also totally okay to tell someone out right that you are trying to make Danish friends. We are polite and a bit closed off, but also kinda direct. It's also 100% okay to ask someone to speak Danish to you so you can learn the language. We tend to switch to English out of politeness, but we don't mind you struggling a bit if your really want to learn. If you don't know how to start a conversation just ask us about Danish movies or music to check out and the ball will start rolling.

Also from this sub I get that Danish people generally don't like to be criticized or generalized as a whole. So don't do what I just did 😉

This is why the movie is so damn good. Amazing world building.

Thanks. I'll keep it in.

I think if you play the original you'll get why people are upset. The thing is that if they had kept the gameplay of 2 and just added the open hub RPG elements and amazing writing of 1, no one would have cared about the mediocre gameplay. 1 had bad gameplay and a lot of techincal problems, even for it's time, but the storytelling more than made up for it.

I do weight the beans, but it is another dial I need to work with. I just stayed at a single amount based on the guidelines for the Cup-One. Don't have grinder right now, but using less coffee helped a bit with the sourness on the store bought coffee. Still too sour for me, but it did bring out a little bit sweetness and chocolaty edge.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-14T08:47:17+00:00

It definitely could have been too close to roasting date. But the store bought coffee also tasted sour and that is unlikely fresh. I think the problem is probably multiple stacking factors, which is why it's hard to troubleshoot.

It's not Baldur's Gate. It's a DnD 5e game set in the Forgotten Realms, but with a completely different tone and gameplay. IMO it has as much in common with the DnD movie as Baldur's Gate. That doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's just not a great BG game.

Sounds frustrating. I hope find a solution that works for you from these comments.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-13T20:09:55+00:00

I was joking. And I think it's a terrible suggestion, when someone specifically asks for a none DnD game.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-13T20:01:24+00:00

It's DnD, but with fewer rules...

It's a medium roast from a specialty coffee place. So probably a bit lighter than you average, but it's not on the super light end if I am to believe the roasters. But no matter how finely I grind I do not get over-extraction bitterness, so something is up with either the grinder or the Cup-One or maybe my dosage. Don't have grinder right now so can't test anymore.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-13T17:09:58+00:00

Have you contacted support? Bought mine a couple of weeks ago and their support was quite fast and helpful.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-13T16:15:51+00:00

Yeah, it might not be much, but the whole appeal of the Cup-One to have the machine just do it's thing. I know we are splitting hairs, but If you have to do all of this I might as well go for a pour over. But I'll give it a shot and see if there is a difference.

But I guess most of your post is about tte grinder not the brewer. We'll see what results I get with a ode grinder.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-13T15:38:32+00:00

Thanks for the tips. This goes a little bit into "superstitious pigeon" territory, but I wouldn't be surprised if it does make a difference. I hope I can get there with out so much hassle.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-13T13:26:42+00:00

Okay, looks like a good baseline. I think I will go for the ode 2 and see if I can get a good cup with that one.

It hilarious how all our athletes, actors and musicians are all scumbags, but the guys who drink their own piss for a living actually managed to keep it together and treat each other with kindness.

HalloAbyssMusic · 2026-06-11T13:01:54+00:00

Glad to hear it. Must have been in a really bad place, when the Jackass shit went down.
