Yeah I just make sure there’s no coffee residue in the basket or the carafe. Yerba is pretty bitter so the Moccamaster technique seems to mellow it out. Plus, the name brand I bought is really dusty so I get a nice clean cup brewing it through the paper filter.

I’ve made Yerba mate in my Moccamaster before, just have to clean it real well before you do. It comes out really good and better tasting than if I steep.

What’s the water in the carafe for, are you heating it for something?

My Moccamaster booklet says to, so I do it.

t’s to not take away from the bloom. If your filter is dry then your first coffee goes in to the filter and not in to your carafe/cup.

I never knew that. That’s pretty cool.

I must say, I will appreciate more descriptive names when trying to identify certain birds.

This sounds almost identical to my journey.
