    None of those, I want to put water in it, put the coffee in and turn it on and leave it. I don’t want any fancy dials or all that BS.

    If you’re looking to buy something and Zojirushi makes one, just buy it.

    Unless you are James Hoffman, the only thing that actually changes brew quality is the grinder. $80 for a Kingrinder and a $50 drip machine will get you 95% of the way to a four-figure Reddit setup. You can adjust the grind size to match the extraction of any machine and fix the too acidic/too bitter/too weak complaints in the video.

    you didn’t set up the moccamaster beforehand…

    Just to add to the chorus, I’ve had a Moccamaster for 20 years, and it’s pretty clear there’s still nothing that comes close for an electric drip machine. I prefer the insulated steel carafe, however; no coffee should be sitting on a hot plate, plus it’s more durable.

    Pour over set-ups are tastier, cheaper and easier to clean than these contraptions

  7. @SkyGravity137

    April 9, 2026 at 5:11 pm

    The best coffee maker remains a ceramic pour over topper for your coffee mug. And it’s also the easiest.

    Unsubscribed. Hope the one click you got out of me was worth the click bait.

    Why don’t they have a percolator to try??? Give me a break.

    My SIEMENS Porsche Design TC-91100 looks great and has been brewing me perfect coffee for over 15 years now.

    April 9, 2026 at 6:08 pm

    My son has the OXO, the start button makes me crazy and it takes me a couple of try’s to get it brewing. a friend has the mochamaster and it makes excellent coffee.

  12. @TheSquizzles

    Your website is seriously so bad. I can barely use it. It doesn’t even function sometimes

    Asking Americans about coffee is like asking a deaf person what’s their favourite record album.

      April 9, 2026 at 7:36 pm

      Do you lump all black people into one gigantic pool too? How about Latinos? Asians? 🤨

  15. @mcgarnagle6102

    April 9, 2026 at 7:21 pm

    These are the 3 dumbest people in the world. The Moccamaster is 2 pieces and they said it was complex.

  16. @SimonVelazquez

    April 9, 2026 at 7:36 pm

    Oxo’s 8-cup brewer would’ve been a better pick. But it still doesn’t live up to my Moccamaster.

  17. @monosy1ab1k

    April 9, 2026 at 7:57 pm

    Doing this without manuals for each is dumb, but then I thought maybe you did it that way for comedic results… But yeah no, not worth it, that was dumb

      Totally agree. Clueless evaluators.

    Love my Moccamaster, and their warranty is the best, bar none. Anything wrong, they fix or replace it. No questions asked.

  23. @Gawriify

    April 9, 2026 at 8:38 pm

    none of them would be my option…. i used Bialetti stove top espresso maker for years…. before i bought an actual espresso machine that i use daily now … (i use jura ena 8)

  30. @PaulLemars01

    April 10, 2026 at 2:15 am

    No conversation about grinder, nothing about bean quality or roast level, nothing about ratios, nothing about water quality, just 3 clueless hipsters blathering on about the most superficial taste experience of the various machines. Please explain as to why you even bothered to make this video.

    James Hoffmann should react to this.

  40. @stephenpeteranderson

    April 11, 2026 at 12:51 am

    Moccamaster hands down is the best. Had mine for 5 years still going strong..

  41. @unclefreddy2009

    April 11, 2026 at 10:33 am

    16 years with a moccamaster, one service send in but other than that fantastic. If and when it fails I will instantly be buying another. I have a thermal model I prefer it to the heated plate version they are showing. It makes the best coffee.

  42. @JunkyVirus

    April 11, 2026 at 5:45 pm

    Moccamaster while good are incredibly overrated, there are equally good/better machines for a lot less money, if you’re not buying it for just the brand.

  43. @pennybast4265

    April 11, 2026 at 7:33 pm

    I would love to have either the Fellow or the Oxo, but like the first guy said, as a gift.
