Moccamaster Cup-One thoughts?

Jcheney

Does anyone have and enjoy their Moccamaster Cup-one? I have a Moccamaster KBG Select at my work and I enjoy it. I appreciate the ease of the automatic dripper systems.

I am looking to get a Moccamaster for home. It would mostly be used for a single cup in the morning, which I can brew in either. My expectation would be that the Cup-One would do as good a job, but I haven’t seen that statement from a source I trust (and I trust the experience from the enthusiasts here).

What I like about the Cup-One are that it is slightly smaller for my small kitchen (30×26 vs 36 × 32 cm); and designed to brew into a cup which is one less dish to clean (I am getting an automatic dripper to make life easier).

However, it’s only in consideration if it does indeed brew a good cup. If it does brew well, I will consider the benefits above, but if it doesn’t then it makes my decision easy: The KBG Select.,

I can see the predicament. I’m a big Moccamaster fan but find the KBG select doesn’t start to shine until you’re brewing 2 cups or more. If I’m making one cup, I get better results from a V60.

However, for the small difference in price the KBG Select is far better value.

If value isn’t an issue, and you’re never likely to make more than one cup, I can’t see why the single cup version wouldn’t brew equally as well as the Select.
