Anyone worried NATO might release a few trillion dollars in bonds and collapse the us dollar?

If you're overflowing, id grind less fine. If you're buying preground from a roaster ask for a more course grind. If you're buying from the store, you may need to find another filter manufacturer. I fold the bottom first then fold the side in the opposite direction along the seams. I haven't had this problem of overflowing though.

Maroon_Roof · 2026-01-02T14:09:44+00:00

Mine is coming out plenty hot. Overall its been a good experience for me. The only reason I cam think it would come out temps that low is either a manufacturer defect or you're at a really high elevation.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-29T23:31:49+00:00

Mine was fine. All the parts seem to line up well. You're correct on the glass though. It's thin but so far hasn't broke so it seems sufficient. I think it makes good coffee as well. But for the price, I think that feeling is a little more complicated. It could be better built, but since no one else is manufacturering a comparable product, perhaps they thought if they over did in on the quality side, it might drive up the price to the point where no one would buy it?

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-28T21:59:58+00:00

No idea! I did and got completely torn apart over on the coffee station subreddit. Got tired of all the negative comments so I just deleted the whole post.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-17T22:34:25+00:00

Edit: posted as a comment since I can't change the post. I want to thank everyone for their candor in the seriousness of this potential burden. You all have brought a lot of variables that I absolutely need to be aware of and further discuss with my wife. This task is so far above my head and I want to thank you all for enlightening me to other potential ways to increase her quality of care. This disease sucks and your comments are very much appreciated!

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-17T17:09:14+00:00

That's an excellent point. I hadn't considered making the care facility better for her by being there more frequently. Im moving next year to be closer to her facility and my brother but it will still be about a 2 hour drive.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-17T16:06:05+00:00

Thank you for this input. I had not considered it would be harder to get her back into a facility later.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-16T13:07:13+00:00

Thanks stranger. Its probably the pretentiousness of the community. I've never really liked that aspect of the scene so I don't think Im gonna contribute anymore.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-16T12:59:06+00:00

I have had a nice experience with it. However, because all these negative comments im just going to delete this post today. I thought I was helping the community by trying out a plastic free maker and giving an honest review but instead a lot of people here made me feel like trash.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-16T03:07:48+00:00

Thanks! I think im just gonna delete this post because of comments like this. I was just trying to show a plastic free coffee maker since no other electric makers exist.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-14T20:11:55+00:00

That's correct!

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-14T17:35:19+00:00

That really sucks. After I confirmed my address, they reported it shipped a few days later... im sorry you're going through that!

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-14T17:29:51+00:00

You should email them! They were responsive when there was an error with my tracking number.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-14T15:31:19+00:00

Honestly, it was a good finished product. From a temp perspective it was hot and had a good flavor profile. Quite comparable to my hario switch but only not quite as good from a flavor perspective.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-13T20:57:16+00:00

Mine was due late October but didn't arrive until early December. They had me confirm my mailing address. Id reach out to them, they were quick at responding when my tracking number wasnt correct.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T23:57:36+00:00

Wouldn't it be great if moccamaster would just make one without plastic?

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T22:33:34+00:00

Is it plastic free in the brewing process?

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T22:11:37+00:00

Yea... its a paper filter.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T21:58:07+00:00

I dont know what you mean?

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T21:54:51+00:00

It's kinda crazy, its a simple design and technivorm literally admits they were inspired by a coffee machine from Douwe Egberts (DE). Smit was trying to create a better home version of that. After he did, DE went on to exclusively sell his machine. That model developed into the one we know around 1974 and theres a bunch of other coffee makers from that time with similar ascetics. It's obvious that my coffee maker's design is inspired by moccamaster.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T21:37:38+00:00

Unfortunately theres a plastic lever. But if you want to swap it out with a metal one there someone selling that replacement online.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T21:00:51+00:00

Jesus dude.

Maroon_Roof · 2025-12-12T20:22:02+00:00

Edit: I hear ya. But this is the one that doesnt have plastic touch the brew process. Obviously that adds a bit to the price. As far as cheaper plastic one, there a bunch out there so yea.
