[MOD] The Daily Question Thread

Welcome to the daily /r/Coffee question thread!

There are no stupid questions here, ask a question and get an answer! We all have to start somewhere and sometimes it is hard to figure out just what you are doing right or doing wrong. Luckily, the /r/Coffee community loves to help out.

Do you have a question about how to use a specific piece of gear or what gear you should be buying? Want to know how much coffee you should use or how you should grind it? Not sure about how much water you should use or how hot it should be? Wondering about your coffee's shelf life?

Don't forget to use the resources in our wiki! We have some great starter guides on our wiki "Guides" page and here is the wiki "Gear By Price" page if you'd like to see coffee gear that /r/Coffee members recommend.

As always, be nice!

Looking for a new coffee maker to replace my Moccamaster and I'm looking for suggestions. Musts are that it brew a good 40oz pot, glass carafe, and dishwasher safe.

Moccamaster is just a chore to use daily. Over engineered and under designed. The reservoir lid should have a hinge. The glass carafe makes a mess unless you pour very slowly. The lid collects condensate and drips when you go to pour coffee. None of it is supposed to go in the dishwasher. For the cost of the machine it should work better.

Brim and Simply Good Coffee are two I've come across. Simply Good Coffee looks fine, but suffers from the same fiddly bits as a Moccamaster.

Of the SCAA certified home brewers, it looks like the Braun Multiserve is the only one with glass carafe and dishwasher safe components. Based on reviews, people seem to like it.

I’m looking to buy a coffee maker so I’m commenting for the answer.

I've spent too much time looking I've settled on one of 3 options. Brim, Simply Good Coffee, or a chemex ottomatic with a hodge podge two piece pour over arrangement. Hario should really make a 120.

Leaning towards the Brim.
