This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact kzfaq.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

I totally misheard you as "Grandma's behind the camera" and I thought that was a cute intergenerational coffee bonding activity

I like that the metal filter looks like it's folded paper. Just a nice visual, and kind of expected from MoMA to pick one with a unique visual.

I think the dirty pour over was a returned item that MOMA Store repurposed by sending it to you. Yuck!

The camera transition to the stove low key gave me Alton Brown vibes and I'm loving it!

If I'm brewing coffee to share with my enemy, one of the cups will contain iocane powder, while the other one contains... iocane powder. Luckily, I built up an immunity.

Impressive that you don't get distracted when the cat is trying to shred the curtain 😁 True professional.

MoMA should sell the Chemex instead, that thing is a work of art. Hell, so versatile, wine decanter, server for coffee from a pot. Just looks good when serving people over breakfast.

GMM should totally have you on the show to do like a “Will It Coffee” collab or something!

FWIW, things sold at the MoMA store are not necessarily in the permanent design collection, and neither of these coffee makers is. The store has to fill its shelves, and most of the objects in the permanent collection are no longer manufactured. Also, the permanent collection has much higher standards than the store. There are four coffee makers included in MoMA's permanent design collection. The two still being manufacture are the Chemex brewer and Alessi's model 9090 espresso pot, designed in 1978 by Richard Sapper.

the cork stopper in the first pot is really badly designed. any good tea pot has a little hole in the lid to allows air flow for smoother pouring. you can see the coffee do that gluck gluck gluck thing when she pours the coffee in her glass

Eva: Calls their product the "solo" Also Eva: Makes that product one that brews one *liter* of coffee. Ah yes, the classic solo serving size.

hey Morgan, thanks for showing off these 2 coffeemachines! The metal disk(reducer) you put in the mokapot funnel is used to reduce the amount of grounds you use, can be used if you want to make half the amount of brew (with this mokapot 1 cup instead of 2). the grounds should go on top, not underneath it :)

I imagine you are meant to leave that moka pot on the stove, to cool down. And move the cups to your drinking destination.

“If you’re sharing it with a loved one, or a friend, or…an enemy. I suppose you can share this with your enemy.” I feel there’s a Morgan superhero origin backstory here…

There is a Bialetti version of the Gemini called Mini Express... It has built-in handle and I think a better design double spout.

Hello there! The additional filter thing of the Gemini is actually a reducer you put in the bottom of the main basket. Allows you to brew one even smaller cup. My bigger pot also came with one, I wasn't a fan as it kind of messed with the brew in a weird way and also was a pain to separate from the "puck" later.

I for one, believe my generic, $25 moka pot is perfectly lovely. But what do I know? I also like the industrial design of my Stanley thermos.🤷‍♂️

An Italian that always used a moka pot here: first of all, great content! :-) that been said, possibly the main reason why an the gemini has no handle it's beause in Italy the vast majority of houses has gas stovetop, and when you are using a moka on a gas stove you simply stop the brewing process by turning it off as you have no hot surface that can keep giving out heat to the moka... so using something like the gemini, you could turn off the gas, wait a couple second that the brewing ends completely and you coud take your cups with you to drink, getting back to the moka pot when it's completely cold and secure to handle :-)

For the moka pot, I would pick up the cups, then use my mitt to move the pot off of the burner, using the red part as a handle. (But yes, a handle on the back of the pot would be a better design.)

مرحبا من الكويت :) من فترة قصيرة كنت ابحث عن كيف اصنع قهوة بشكل لذيذ و مقطع فيديو لك ظهر لي فشاهدته للاخر عن مقارنة انواع القهوة و بصراحة لم ارى اجمل و اوضح من شرحك و استفدت كثيرا جدا .... اتمنى لك كل التوفيق بكل ما تتمناه و استمر لانك فعلا انسان صريح و صادق مع الناس و مع نفسك .

Omg i cannot believe there was not a shred of packaging in that glass pour over, someone else said it might be a returned item so that would make sense why that is missing

For $100, I sure hope you sent MoMa an official complaint with pictures! I'd hate to see that happen to another customer.

For the issue that was mentioned at 14:46 (the coffee chamber not standing up), I put the chamber on the upper part of the moka pot, so that it rests on the outer wall of the container and the coffee outlet at the center. This trick does not apply to the style of moka pot that is shown in the video but is useful for the standard ones. Maybe this helps somebody that uses a moka pot.

Worth mentioning that Eva is a Danish brand, and us Scandinavians make 1 litre of coffee like, pretty much every day

What I learned is, MoMA chose coffee brewers that definitely exhibited form over function. I don't want to burn myself and that glass coffee pot needs a hole in the lid to stop it glugging.

Honestly, the first one made me kinda angry after seeing the "gluckling" of it's pour, ESPECIALLY after checking their website for the price. 110€?!? Why wouldn't they just sell a chemex? Objectively better design, subjectively nicer looking..

I am FLOORED that that first carafe made it to you in one piece without any extra packing material in the box. 😵‍💫 There really are postal deities and they have favorites.

18:03 "it tastes like coffee" is my favorite part

"I suppose you could share this with your enemy" 😂

I know you mentioned you're a GMM fan so congrats on being on Trevor's pod! I haven't listened yet but I will for sure be checking out your episode.

Idk why it just seemed so unexpected, I had a literal jaw drop moment when Trevor's faces popped on screen. I haven't listened to his new podcast yet but I'm a hug fan of MK. Petition for Morgan to to guest star in a Mythmunchers: Coffee edition.

Please never change your presenting style Morgan. Your enthusiasm is infections! I really love that little Moka pot - looks like it’d work better on a gas hob rather than an electric one :)

That mocha pot is adorable oh my goodness

Hi, 14:59 don’t think the extra filter for the Gemini Express is for use on top of the ground coffee like tamp. (maybe that’s why it took quite a while for it to start brewing?). It can be used should you want your coffee less strong (not me 🤷🏻‍♀️😅) The rim you see In the filter compartment will fit/hold that extra filter perfectly reducing the amount of coffee with almost half than when using the whole compartment. Love my gemini expres i bought in Italy 15+ years ago, but also like our larger bialetti in case we have 1 or 2 visitors. And old school slow filter manual pouring for larger parties 🙂☕️

I’ve only ever seen your shorts, this is the first time I’ve heard your lovely voice! Thank you for your wonderful content!😊

Eva Solo here in Denmark are something you can buy cheap-o in convenience stores, if you find it expensive it is around 60USD at max... More normally it hovers around 50USD for that product.

Morgan you are the most attractive dork nerd ever and I'm so happy that I get to learn coffee things from you.

Me: just put the coffee powder and hot water then stir it lol

That moka pot... Does look nice, I won't argue. But considering we have two moka pots of this general design in my kitchen and both have a small plastic handle (I can't find a good example still in store, but Bialetti had a good example of this at a time) so you can at least handle the pot around the stove to get it on a cooling spot when your cups are brewed. This pure metal, no handle design is sleek, but screams second degree burn hazard.

I’ve always put the moka pot basket in a short shot glass to hold it while I add coffee

I picked up an item very much like the Gemini Express at a thrift shop in Pittsburg last year, made by GSI Outdoor. It's very similar to the standard Moka pot (including being able to use the standard basket, screen, and gasket. While the Express has that clever two-spout head, the one I picked up has a single copper tube which goes up a few inches and turns back down. It does, have a rubber protector in the tube, so it's possible to move it when hot. I suspect it was marketed as a campfire coffee maker.

my brain decided that the pour over brewer looks like a watering can for coffee and now I can't unsee that

The big cork is very cool. The way it sits in the glass carafe is quite cartoonish in a way that I would probably just sit and stare at.

As a Moka Pot user, trying to stop the extraction on the Gemini without getting coffee everywhere would be rather difficult and a deal breaker for me. The only solution I could think would be to have a small bowl of water that you could dunk the bottom half of the Gemini into. I love the concept and getting the first tsp of brew from the spout would make Cuban Coffee a lot easier to brew.

Hey Morgan! Do you think you can do a video reviewing Cometeer Coffee? I keep seeing ads for it and intrigued if its actually good and would like to hear your opinion of it!

First dripper definitely could've been a returned unit

I like Eva Solo's other brewer better - it's not a pour over, it's got a filter that fits in the mouth of a glass bottle. Put coffee and water in, insert filter, wait, and pour coffee out through the filter. Easiest coffee maker I've used so i grab it when I'm lazy.

9:23 Cat playing in the reflection!

"Hello there!" "Ahh, General Kenobi!" _cough cough_

16:45 please do this in every video for no particular reason. My favorite segment "hi, here is detailed information, up close"

14:55 recently got a moka pot, what i do is use the top part to hold the coffee basket. it sits on top of the spout and the wall, making it easy to have a level. it does mean i have to clean the top part if i mess up though...

18:54 all aluminum construction makes "adding a handle" after the fact a bit harder. Welding Aluminum requires TIG welding, and I do not have an argon bottle, if I did I'd offer to "fix" that for you. but I agree that a thermally insulated handle on the back of the... grouphead? Spout? The top, would be an excellent addition. Hard to go wrong with a Mocapot.

Did you just throw shade at my beloved Chemex?! No no no...just, no. (Looks at the actual brewer with its drips down the side from the morning's brewing)....ok, fine, you have a point. I still love it...and it looks hella better than the Eva IMHO

The second brewer would be good to having a serving tool on hand. When it gets hot enough use serving tool to scoot over off burner. The problem is for people who do not have glass tops. With a gas stove you could just turn it off but an electric burner with risen ring plates would be a disaster. I am not deep into coffee, I just use a French press or Keurig (already here) but I love seeing your reviews about coffee.

RE Eva Solo: The carafe does double duty at dinner. You decant the wine from the Bota Box to bring to the table for dinner. When the wine is gone, brew some coffee in it to have with brandy post prandial.

That slide and “hello there!” makes my day lol

Hehehehe. "That set up will run you about 50 dollars" *me in the corner buying parts from moccamaster* "huh?"

The Gemini moka pot is honestly something I might get because I have always been worried about the plastic handles melting off.

Thumbs up for using fancy as a verb. I fancy that.

That eva solo is very expensive at MoMa in Denmark you can get it for 60$

maybe if we had more coffee with our enemies the world would be a better place

everyone should own a bottle brush for things like this

Morgan! I had a dream last night that I saw these brewers and started panicking because I didn't know how to use them since I haven't watched your video on them yet. I am now here to calm my nerves on the matter. 😅

This seems good for cold coffee drinkers. I don't like hot but warm coffee. I also like making it into ice coffee. This seems like a good use for that since it won't keep it warm. You could fill it and refrigerate it. So lots of up front prep but easy after. A baby bottle cleaner is always good for these like this. No kids in our home but we use it often.

Oh, I love the look of the design of that moka pot, for sure! I had no idea the MoMA had a curated store, and I love it! Thank you for sharing. I will definitely be using it to find cute and aesthetic pieces to finish my home in the future. ❤

My idea for how to add a handle: a separate piece shaped shaped sort of like a tuning fork. A straight part which you hold, and a "U" shape that you position under the "wings". The two arms could have a little protrusion at the ends to create a positive grip (preventing it from sliding).

There’s a certain point where price does not indicate “better quality” and this perfectly describes the $100 pour over that does not improve brewing experience or quality. A glass pitcher that’s heat tempered and preferred pour over apparatus can achieve the the same result for much cheaper. Though I wouldn’t be bothered too much if the Gemini moka pot was $100.

I enjoy the Waiting For Pour over To Finish dance

Anyone see The Kitty in the reflection of the Microwave -So cute

The stove top angle has an Alton Brown feel. Love it.

The pour over waiting drove my friend and his wife crazy, they said by the time you were done making it it wasn't hot anymore. So I bought them a French press and they love it.

9:41 - "That worked out very nicely. I don't need any more dripping today... I've done enough on my own." don't laugh don't laugh Morgan is very nice how dare I even oh don't laugh I'm an adult don'tlaughdon'tlaugh oh no

Tip for the mocha pot and filling the ground coffee thingy use a shot glass or a shooter glass. Thats what i use keeps it standing up

This is the first time I've heard your voice and it's very soothing

Came for the coffee stayed for the hair ❤️

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that the "not a tamp" part of the moka pot is for doing half portions (at least that's how it works for mine)

The Solo is visibly closest to a Chemex I think. Design of the filter is reminiscent of the folded paper cone as well, and the capacity is on par. If you're a fan of that style of brew, it's a nice little visual/stylistic changeup I think. (Which you kind of touched on; different pouring experience for instance.)

The Gemini express is a version of the classic Italian cafe maker. There is a version like that for a cup or two, so I don’t get that brand , which isn’t the original brand. In Spain we use that traditional coffee maker and it’s great

Really enjoying your channel. Just wondering if you've ever tried a Vietnamese egg coffee. It's to die for (just a figure of speech not to be taken literally), they use moka pots alot.

The second one looks super good! .. i did have a moka pot explode hot coffee grounds all over me and my kitchen last year so i am not in a rush to get one BUT

If MoMA wanted to make a cool item, they should make a beautiful/functional moka filter holder so that it’s easier to fill.

To fill your moka pot funnel flip your Aeropress funnel wide side down and fill it up.

aah i love ur vids, ive first seen u on tiktok, which inspired me to literally buy an espresso machine, and ive been obsessed with it ever since

Isn't the moka pot shortcutting the whole issue of burning the coffee since the coffee is removed from the moka pot as soon as it brews? Traditionally the coffee gathers in the upper chamber of the moka pot and continues heating up. I always thought that was what caused it to burn or "overcook".

I dont like coffee, it gives me the jitter and anxiety but for some reason i enjoy watching these videos.

You’d need a jumper for the glass to keep it from burning you. Rather dangerous to not have double walled glass.

I want that square kettle in the MoMA collection too, but this pour over looks more like its meant to be a cold-brewer, hence the cork top so you can refrigerate any leftover.

I think that the pour over could be better used for cold brew or iced coffee. I was a little worried that the glass would break under the heat.

I suspect someone returned that specific product after using it. And Eva Solo products are normally packaged like that. I don't think there's any packaging missing. My wine glasses also came like that

That Mika pot reminds me of something from REI in the 90s or 2000s. They called them “camping espresso makers.” Even though it wasn’t technically espresso.

The Gemini is really flawed in that the best way to stop a moka pot from brewing is to run the base under tap water, but if you try that with the Gemini you’ll almost certainly drop both cups. The whole moka arrangement really needs to be poured after brewing in my opinion.

09:34 Definitely a Nigella Lawson thing going on there!

Hey Morgan! I'm Morgan too. I really love your videos and lovvvveeee your hair :)

Everything about way the Eva came sounds like a returned product. At that price point I would be annoyed. Anything returned should be properly checked before being resold again.

I just love watching people talk anything about coffee but she makes it so much more entertaining for me than already it is :) p.s. Am I seeing things or her saucer was actually chipped? Btw I love glassware in general but the carafe has such a poor design both in form(which is of course is a subjective matter) and functionality that I am perplexed about the price tag.

You should check out the Bialetti Mini Express. It's similar to the Gemini, but has a plastic handle on the spout. Comes with a pair of adorable shot cups. I don't use it anymore but it will be a part of my collection forever

Morgan I saw someone on tic tok say espresso and orange juice was good I’m too scared to try but I’d love to see you try 😂❤️ (I say that with love)

You were in Ny??!! My pilot friend said she saw you in the airport but was too shy to say hi. Hope you had fun
