I bought the Moccamaster (the one with the vacuum flask not a hotplate) long before going down the espresso route, but still like to use it every now and then. Now, like many of these pour overs including the Harios etc they come with scoops. But here’s my question, how much ground coffee per cup (cup being really a mug) would any of you recommend?

Do you use the same ratio of grounds to water as when brewing in a Hario or Chemex or Clever Dripper? I ask this because scoops come in different sizes and to me it is just too randome.

So, if any of you here do still occassionally brew a batch through something like a Moccamaster, what is your recipe?

Scoops traditionally are based on 10g/2 level tablespoons of coffee per 6oz/180ml of brew water (1:18, or 55g/L ratio). Pretty sure this is what Moccamaster use for their scoop (10g), but usually recommend 60g/L ratio.

I would use the same as you would for your regular pour over, just being mindful of over flowing the basket, I use 65-70g/L in the Smeg my girlfriend bought.

Best to weigh rather than use scoops.

I have the Sage Precision Brewer, and use 55/60g to the litre.

We use a moccamaster and a ration 8.

Very similar to the other replies we use 15g per 250 ml (which is a small mug) and weigh rather than scoop.

Thanks everyone. Now I just have to get the grind right🙄
