I bought the coffee maker from an independent retailer so I don't want to return the machine.

The beans you use will make the biggest difference, second is your grinder. What burr grinder do you have?
Honestly, the appeal of the Moccamaster isn’t that it makes brilliant coffee - there are other drip coffee makers that do better (Ratio 8, Fellow Aiden, Breville Precision) - it’s that the Moccamaster is dead simple, easy to use and will be with you 20 years down the road. Oh and the hipster looks that makes bcrdukes swoon.
You maximize the Moccamaster by simply using it. Mine has been a workhorse for 6 years now.
