Purchased a MoccaMaster on sale for a killer price sometime very early in the year. Been brewing coffee for many, many decades and always enjoyed doing so.
Both my wife and I LOVE the simplicity of this coffee maker. Just amazing, when all this time filtering through the same old consumer type do everything but make your breakfast for you coffee makers in which to us have been cheapened in construction way beyond reasonable.
This MoccaMaster stands out, we will never go back to those other types. Loving it!

We just do pour overs, probably for the last 30 years. I think we still have a coffeemaker for when people visit.
What grinder are you using? Is that an Oxo behavior the MM?
No, when we started grinding our own coffee we bought this out of frustration using the ones (which were always broken) at Costco.
It's a Cuisinart. We are actually surprised how long it has been lasting, we also have a spare (long story) that they sent us still unused.
SO unless there is a reason for a superior in some way grinder we will most likely been using these forever.
Ps. I have A LOT to type on coffee beans and will do in the proper thread when time. Coffee prices are going nuts and we have been trying all different types. Actually it's been fun trying all the different beans.
That one looks just fine. As long as you can get a medium medium/coarse grind...all good. I'm a believer in stirring the beans in the hopper with a wet teaspoon just before grinding. It works perfectly to eliminate static.
I have one. That is an excellent machine.
That's interesting, I'll have to try that. Our burr grinder creates so much static in the grind that it is bordering on comical during the winter.
A 20+ year old Technivorm, grind my beans as needed using a conical burr grinder. The coffee I use is a local roaster and changes a few times a year... currently a full city roasted Brazilian.

Simple solution...just move to South Texas!!!
Ten months out of the year static electricity just isn't a thing. When I first moved down here from the Midwest I was surprised to find that no one really knew what a solid zap from a doorknob felt like. Even with the A/C cranked the humidity inside the house is never low enough to allow a charge to build, with the exception of the few dry days during the "winter". You can even take a sweater off without turning into a human Tesla coil.
Same here, nothing fancy, wait for holiday sale, usually Mr. Coffee, pay my 10 or 15 bucks.
I'm good
Me too, but I bet my "cup" is bigger than yours
For our morning coffee, we use a Capresso Coffee Maker, a Costco Business Center special:

Not bad for an under $30 investment.

I tried it this morning and it helped a great deal. It still spills due to the design of the grinder but at least it didn’t also spray out of the catch can when you open the lid
Try the spoon portion instead of the handle.I tried it this morning and it helped a great deal. It still spills due to the design of the grinder but at least it didn’t also spray out of the catch can when you open the lid
Yeah that's what I did. It's not the static electricity, it's the design of this grinder. Where the coffee exits the grinding area is poorly designed and it's impossible not to get some coffee spilled no matter what you do.
I keep waiting for it to die so I can try a different brand but it has been annoyingly reliable.
What kind and model is it? I've been through a few before I settled on the 2 that are very good without issues.
A Baratza Encore and an Oxo.
