vandrvCoffee maker recommendations
Based on the recommendations here, I also bought a Moccamaster. So far, I'm really enjoying it.

6gunsAfter having coffee during a recent visit to my sister and BIL's house, I did something I never expected to do....
I went all out and bought a Nespresso DeLonghi Lattissima Touch machine. Damn does this make a good cup of coffee with tons of varieties.

WarhorseSchool me here, how is it possible that some drip coffee makers make better coffee than others? Do they all not just make hot water drip through the grounds? Seems to me that they would all taste the same if using the same brand, and type of coffee.

The temperature of the water, the rate it is applied to the grounds, and the spray pattern all have an effect on the taste of the coffee.

bryan11When we switched from a generic coffee maker to a Bonavita Metropolitan maker it greatly increased flavor and quality. It's still going after around 10 years.
That said, switching from tap water to purified (reverse osmosis) water made the biggest improvement in our tea and coffee.

Brewing Best Practices
Coffee-to-Water Ratio: To achieve the Golden Cup Standard, the recommended coffee-to-water ratio is 55 g/L ± 10%.
Coffee Preparation Temperature: To achieve the Golden Cup Standard, water temperature, at the point of contact with coffee, is recommended to fall between 200°F ± 5° (93.0°C ± 3°).
Elements & Device
Measurable elements:
Water: valid when brewing water meets SCA water quality standard
Ratio of Coffee-to-Water (55 g/L ± 10%)
Grind/particle size distribution: matches the time of coffee-to-water contact
Equipment/brewing device:
Time of Coffee-to-water Contact: 1-4 minutes Fine, 4-6 minutes Drip, 6-8 minutes Coarse
Temperature: 200°F ± 5° (93.0°C ± 3°)
Turbulence (mixing action of water flowing through & around the coffee particles to achieve a uniform extraction of soluble material)
Filter media (least affect to brew flavor, body, time of contact & sediment less than 75 milligrams per 100 milliliters)

Damn! Finely detailed work there!
