Coffee advice
Can someone give me a specific coffee and recipe to get the best result for my setup?
I am tired of wasting fresh beans trying to dial in and not getting the desired results.

Moccamaster Leaking
My Moccamaster KBGV started leaking through the bottom plate after a mere 3 years. Unfortunately, Moccamaster isn't interested in standing behind the quality of their product and does not consider this a warranty issue.
Extremely disappointed by the quality of the machine and the warranty service of Moccamaster, to be honest, and not particularly excited to invest money in repairs.
Do you guys think it's worth trying to repair the machine myself? I'm fairly certain that it's not leaking from the water reservoir itself.
As you can see from the picture, the leaks seem to be internal to the machine, as water has discolored the area around the ventilation holes the most.

Need help deciding :)
Hi everyone,
I'm currently looking for a birthday gift for my girlfriend. I would love to get her a coffee machine and a grinder. Budget: up to approx. €500
She currently only drinks Nespresso instant coffee with milk in a 50/50 ratio. And she once said:
I know she would like a machine that easily makes her a delicious cup of coffee in the morning. (She is not a fan of coffee pods like Nespresso machines).
Therefore, I wanted to ask you guys if you could recommend a good combination of a machine and a grinder (electric or manual)! :)
Is it possible to make good tasting but small amount of coffee in a larger moccamaster?
(I know there are also Hario filters, Moka pots, and French/AeroPresses, but she explicitly ruled out these methods and asked for a machine)
(I currently have my eye on the Moccamaster Cup One and that new rotating Cosori)

Baratza encore inconsistent grind settings
Has anyone had this issue or did I get a faulty unit?
I got my Baratza Encore today and set it up as per manufacturer instructions. I researched here and in the manual and set it up at 18 for my MM KB.
It came out with the consistency of crushed rock, and the brew was yellow and super sour. I only got a perfect brew around the 7-10 range of grinder setting. That seems wildly off what I researched.

First use of Cafemasy drip assist with Cup One. Was trying to prevent the caved-in coffee bed, its not perfect but a definite improvement

another color paralysis question
New house - 1950s midcentury modern architecture.
Kitchen backsplash is aqua tiles; cabinets are white; countertops are wood butcher block.
Furniture throughout the house is either neutral (lots of creams) or also in the aqua family. Art on the walls is bright, abstract, colorful.
I'm thinking either yellow for high contrast (probably the bright one, not the butter one?) Or beetroot? or apricot?
OR ocean, to blend in and let the art stand out.
OR, something that doesn't exactly match the tile but isn't super high contrast - juniper, or rose gold (would semi-blend in with the butcher block).

Help repairing old moccamaster
Hello, I bought for less than 30€ a Technivorm GCS, that should be a model from the '80s and actually inside should have very similar technologies than today's moccamaster. However, when I received it, it didn't look a big bargain anymore: the machine is crazily dirty (even the metal water tube is eroded) , the caraffa broke during the shipping (not very good packaging+not much lucky) and, more important, even if the machine turns on and the plate gets hot, no water is coming out. I tried to put a solution of water and citric acid and leave there for hours, and I tried to blow in the pipe (air bobbles came from the water reservoir, so the pipe is free). What could it be? I could send it back, but I should pay the shipping costs and I prefer checking if I can repair and use it with a V60 (or even buying a new caraffa). Thanks!
