It works, but that stuff really stinks up the kitchen until you are done clearing it from the system.

jakal... we have really hard water here (well water) and if the sprinklers come on and hit your car it will leave em spotted white for life.

Cleaning the pot doesn't make the water any less hard.. all it does is take the buildup off that will eventuallyu ruin the maker.   I simply rinse out the pot every time and when the coffeemaker fails (bout yearly or so) I simply buy a new one and a new stainless steel filter for it.

Yep, the buildup is what gives it the bad taste.
  The best coffee I ever tasted was made by my Grandmother. She used a Waterware pot  on the stove. Great stuff.

I used to clean mine regularly. then I noticed that doing so didnt make the coffee taste any better nor the maker last any longer.

So now like Monk. I use it till it dies then I throw it out

I actually think that the coffee from a new coffeemaker or one that has been cleaned tastes worse.   I can't cook microvave popcorn but most people say that my coffee is good.

I have a moccamaster too.. about 10 years old or something. The missus wants to replace it for something that looks better, but no way. I have explained to her that the day the machine goes (unless its broken), she goes.

She has taken me serious thus far.. but I keep an eye open whenever she threatens to make the coffee.

Coffee is holy.. nobody messes with mine.

Eagler speaks truth. Coffee presses make excellent coffee.

Your piss is as sterile (if not more so) than the vinegar. ;)

I don't really have any favs, or none that you have over there anyway. I just know who to stay well away from and how much to use. I don't really know why the missus can't make a decent pot either. She follows my instructions to the letter but still makes a mess of it.

I'm not into coffee that is very strong or too weak... it has to be just right and  ..doh!
