UCC Gold Special

It is one of Japan's best-selling, long-selling coffees.
UCC's economies of scale and roasting and blending techniques make this coffee inexpensive, delicious, and good value for money, but it is dark roasted and the blended Vietnamese Robusta beans can have a tendency to produce bitterness, impurities, and unpleasant odors.
The key is to avoid giving off a negative vibe.

Daily Brew Mode

The Mocca's built-in "Daily Brew" mode produces a delicious cup of coffee that surpasses the quality of the coffee you can buy at the supermarket.
It has a mild bitterness, a sweet taste, a rich flavor, no impurities, and few negative aspects, making it easy to drink.
The water is clear, soft and smooth, but the flavor is surprisingly strong.

Very strong!

Coffee amount: 2 spoons Water temperature: 94℃
Pouring amount: 310ml (extraction ratio 14x)

① We reduced the amount of water to make it stronger and more bitter.

It also has a smoky roasted aroma, giving it a manly coffee feel, and the strong image of the original UCC Gold.

He runs a coffee blog and YouTube channel called "every coffee" with the concept of "making everyone's everyday coffee a little more delicious." After being unable to drink coffee for over 30 years, he became addicted to grinding beans, brewing them by hand, and roasting them, and has reviewed numerous coffee items.

Kawashima Coffee Roaster's Blend

Overall, it is a medium roast blended coffee that is easy to drink.
The coffee used is also of high quality, a luxurious blend of four Arabica varieties: Colombia Supremo, Brazil Cerrado No. 2, Guatemala SHB, and Tanzania Kilimanjaro KIBO, all of which are delicious even when drunk alone.
However, because it is well-balanced, it can lack a bit of character and can easily come across as light and weak.

Daily Brew Mode

It's clean and has a sweet taste.
It has a weak bitterness and acidity, and does not produce negative flavors, but rather brings out positive ones.
It's hard to believe that this is the kind of coffee you can buy at the supermarket.
However, it may feel a little thin.

Depth and body

Coffee amount: 2 spoons Water temperature: 94℃
Pouring amount: 320ml (extraction ratio 14.5x)

① I used less hot water to make it stronger.

It is now easier to appreciate the complexity and richness of the flavor.
The original taste is light, refreshing, light and well-balanced, but it can easily feel a little lacking, so we've added more depth and body.

AGF A Little Luxurious Coffee Shop Special Blend

Another classic and popular coffee is the "AGF Slightly Luxurious Coffee Shop Special Blend."

Brew like a Pro

When brewed using the traditional MOCCA recipe or other companies' products, this coffee has a strikingly bitter taste.

A well-balanced aftertaste

Coffee amount: 20g
Water temperature: 80℃
Pouring amount: 360ml

Extracting at high temperatures can easily result in a bitter taste, so by deliberately extracting at a low temperature of 80°C, taking advantage of MOCCA's high extraction power, we can reduce the bitterness and create a cup of coffee with a rich, well-balanced aftertaste.
