I recommend going nel drip. It tastes way better and doesn’t require the fine technique of the siphon.

I watched the video. It seems like an over the top neurotic process and I'm highly skeptical any of it makes much difference in the end result.

I put it on my must-try list.

Darn both of you.

Looking at a new drip coffee maker as my old Krupps is getting long in the tooth. Any opinions out there on the MoccaMaster brand?

I have the Moccamaster in red with the glass caraffe. The brand was recommended to me by my favorite roaster who said he uses one at home. I’ve had it for over 5 years and it has performed flawlessly.

And for the glass carafe haters out there , I shut off the hot plate to avoid coffee burn. I like the evolution of coffee flavor as it cools.

I'm the guy who while in the Navy and needing a cup of coffee, would see the glass carafe on the hot burner with an inch of black burned sludge in the bottom, toss in some fresh water, swish it around, and fill my cup. Mmm. Toasty.

Do you add salt to your coffee or is that apocryphal?

A pinch of salt added to the grounds when brewing takes out some of the bitterness. So does adding a graham cracker to the grounds. It works to help make cheap coffee drinkable.

What is " nel drip "?

If you drink less than 4 coffees a day, go for a Nespresso machine.

I did not make myself clear

Do Navy people add salt to their coffee as a matter of course due to Navy coffee always having salt in it, or is that story untrue?

When I was in Navy coffee did not have salt in it.

If they make coffee out of sea water, they don’t need to add salt. I did my mandatory military service in the navy, too.

I agree. Drinking cheap crap defeats the reason for making it in the first place.

Ours is silver w/ a glass carafe. Best coffee maker we have owned.

That was my question. Is the coffee made with incompletely desalinated water?.... And do Navy people grow to like it?

Yes, desalinated absolutely. Anything else is a myth. A myth probably started by sailors.
