Tested and Approved

We evaluate Moccamaster coffee brewers across the four T’s of coffee brewing: temperature, time, turbulence, and total dissolved solids (TDS). A brewer that performs within the ideal ranges of the four T’s produces the perfect ratio of coffee flavor compounds extracted into water, which the SCA refers to as “the golden cup.” That ratio creates the flavors we enjoy when we sit back with a good cup of coffee, and every Moccamaster hits that mark every brew cycle.

The Coffee Brewer for Coffee Lovers

Since 1968, Moccamaster coffee brewers have set the global benchmark for at-home coffee brewing. Designed to extract the maximum flavor from your grounds in about 4-6 minutes, coffee from a Moccamaster is comparable to what you would brew using a more complex manual process or drink in a café.

We build our coffee brewers to last, using only the highest quality materials and offering replacement parts. With proper care and maintenance, this should be the last coffee brewer you ever need to buy.

  • Moccamaster coffee brewers are handmade in heart of the Netherlands.
  • Our brewers have a durable metal housing and use a copper boiling element to heat the water, which allows for consistent water temperature control.
  • All plastics are BPA, BPS, BPF, and phthalate-free.
  • We individually test every brewer before it leaves our factory.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful machine, makes great coffee too
    Got it for $100 off during a Prime sale so that helped make my decision to try it. It’s as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. Easy to use and easy to clean. Fairly fast. Good tasting coffee. Maybe not quite as good tasting as my Kitchen Aid Syphon pot which self destructed after about 2 years. Hard plastic seals cracked and fell apart. Also was hard to clean. The trade off of a very slight taste difference is worth it for the ease of cleaning the Mocha master.

    5.0 out of 5 stars On the fence? Hop on over and buy one!
    The media could not be loaded. I’ve never spent this much on a coffee maker in my life and never thought I would. But I’m glad I did.

    I have had Cuisinart coffee makers for years and I am so tired of having to buy a new Cuisinart after a couple of years of use when it begins to malfunction. I have had to return brand new Cuisinart coffee makers as they didn’t work right and then wait for the replacement. Don’t know why I was so loyal to the brand. Maybe because they used to be much better and lasted longer.

    This Moccamaster has a five year warranty – that tells you something right there (don’t forget to register yours if you purchase one – they have an online form). It’s made in the Netherlands with meticulous crafting and testing. It’s nice looking. It’s easy to clean. It’s fast. It makes hot coffee. It’s smaller so it fits on my countertop nicely without taking up a lot of room.

    At first I wasn’t sure if I’d like the Rose Gold even though it is pretty, but I’ve come to like it and it’s a change from the stainless steel I’ve had for years. And, the Rose Gold was $60 less, so there’s that!

    Keep in mind that though this carafe holds ten cups, this is ten 4 ounce cups, not 6-8 ounce mugs. Fine by me as I drink a few mugs in the morning and then I’m done, and I’m the only one drinking coffee.

    These take paper filters – I’ve used a gold filter for many years because I don’t like tossing things in the landfill. However, two things: my gold filter does fit in there should I want to use it; and you can rinse the paper filters and reuse them a few times. Between those two things, less in the landfill.

    There is research to indicate that using paper filters doesn’t affect your cholesterol levels like the gold permanent filters. So something to think about. However using the paper filters does affect taste to some degree – I have to get used to the more ‘smoother’ taste of the coffee without the oils. But on the good side, there’s not the sludgy stuff at the bottom of my cup, and no coffee grounds escaping into my cup.

    Though it indicates to use fresh ground beans, I use both fresh ground and already ground. The fresh ground can taste better, but sometimes the already ground is convenient and easy and right there, and on sale.

    This is so easy to use right out of the box, once you put the parts in place.

    This is a no frills type coffee maker – there isn’t a timer but I never used the timer on my Cuisinart, not once, so I don’t miss that feature at all. There’s no clock but why do I need a clock? I don’t even have clocks in my house other than what is on my stove and cable box. There’s two buttons: one to select half pot or full pot, and the on/off button.

    The plug is weird. You have to kind of turn it partially sideways. It was annoying at first but now I just do it and don’t think about it. Cord is short, which I like. Hate snaking cords – I like the cord hidden behind the coffee maker and this one stays behind just great.

    What I also like is there isn’t those two deep dark areas that are difficult to get to and clean like in the Cuisinart and many other coffee machines. No matter how much I cleaned the machine, I always wondered how clean it really was down in there where you pour the water and where the brewing happens I guess. Here you can see where the water is, and it only goes through the stainless steel ‘arm’ and then down the little funnel and into the grounds. Cleaning is simple. There is no coffee going inside the machine anywhere.

    They suggest descaling it about every 3 months using a descaler and not vinegar. I never liked to use vinegar anyway.

    Out of the box I ‘brewed’ water only 3 times (they suggest 2) to be sure any factory dust or whatever was gone.

    It’s quiet. No loud beeping when it’s done. No loud gargling gurgles. Though you can hear it gently brewing. And you can see the bubbles coming up in the water – it happens fast!

    Mine has a warming plate. I don’t know if all of the models have it. The KBGV Select has a full pot or half pot selection. I used the half pot selection this morning when I brewed about a half pot and my coffee tasted better than when I used the full pot selection on half a pot – so it does something.

    I’m happy with mine and glad I finally purchased it after doing so much reading and research on coffee machines – for months! — the Moccamaster kept coming up over and over in the Best Coffee Makers lists – and often number 1.

    If you are on the fence, hop on over, if you don’t mind the price and don’t mind it’s a no-frills machine. The best part of it is the quality – I shouldn’t have to buy another coffee machine for many many years!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stop overthinking — buy it
    I love coffee – let’s start with that. In college I had a Keurig. Sure, fairly convenient for those bustling mornings to class. But let’s face it – the coffee product *sucks*. So I switched back to filter coffee with a Chemex, which I love, but sometimes I just don’t have the times in the morning to sit there and measure out the grams of water I’m pouring.

    I bought a Ninja Duelbrew pro. And honestly, made solid drip coffee for all of the features it had. That is, until the computer died *15 months* after purchase. Reminder – their warranty is 12 months. When I contacted them, they could not sell me parts, and sent me a “limited time offer” to buy a new one at the low low price of $159.99 + $25 shipping. Ha! Went to Reddit, realized this machine was legit, and bought it. It’s simple. It makes coffee. Good coffee. Really, really good coffee. And it looks gorgeous. It’s a simple machine that perfects brewing drip coffee. Two mechanical switches, and a bunch of copper heating elements. That’s it. No computers to break, no fancy gizmos. As an engineer, sometimes gizmos are fun, but what’s more fun is something engineered to near perfection. That’s what this coffee maker is.

    Pro tip — if you want this machine but think you’ll miss having one that you can set up at night to brew in the morning, just buy a $12 smart plug. I use a smart plug with this, and am able to get everything laid out the morning before. Using apple home, I have it turn on at whatever time I want, with the coffee and water already filled. And boom – great coffee, at the time I need it. Sure, it’s not as *fancy* to grind your beans the night before. But hey, it still tastes delicious, and is the best tasting coffee I’ve been able to produce from home.

    So just buy it. It’s a coffee machine with a 5 year warranty, where else can you find that? Most catchy name machines are designed to last 1-2 years and be thrown away. Do yourself, and the environment, a favor and buy a machine that could last years and years to come. It’s worth every penny

    5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the splurge (when on sale!)
    I have had my Moccamaster coffee maker for a little over 6 months and have used nearly daily. I loveeee it. Yes, the gorgeous and industrial aesthetics of this coffee maker had it at the top of my wishlist for a long time but the color options, sale price and excellent reviews are what made me pull the trigger. It was on sale for 250 (& I applied a 100 dollar gift card) when I purchased. Therefore, I have often asked myself if it is worth the price tag. I think it is worth the sale price of $250. I personally just can’t get behind spending more than that on a coffee maker. However, it makes excellent coffee (my fav maker I’ve ever had) and between brewing my favorite coffee and it being a splurge I have barely gotten coffee out at all this year. I prefer my home coffee above all now, so that alone has made the price tag worth it. Lastly, there is no denying it’s a statement piece and can make a kitchen. For example, I got the peppercorn yellow and it makes my kitchen/ studio apartment! Everyone compliments it & it gives an industrial, clean, masculine vibe which is what I wanted. Also, I think you could go with the pale yellow to complete a cottage core room or even to suit a retro kitchen and/ or silver/ white for clean, modern, serious bistro vibes, etc. Endless options, but I really loved getting to choose a color! Lastly, it just has a great feel, is intuitive for any OG coffee pot folks who have never liked pods, and is easy to clean!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Elegantly simple, and the coffee is really good
    Our second Ninja coffee maker in 8 years just failed on us, so instead of another black plastic over-functional coffee maker that guests can’t figure out how to use, we decided to give this Moccamaster a try. It’s way more expensive, but the important parts are metal and it’s apparently repairable with a pretty generous 5 year warranty.

    It looks really nice on the counter, and it looks really nice when it makes the coffee with the boiling water bubbling up through the clear shaft. It’s primitively simple to use – it’s obvious where the water goes, it’s obvious where the coffee goes, and there’s only one setting switch for half-pot or full-pot, and one button to turn it on and make the coffee.

    The setting switch for half/full pot just alters the temperature of the hot plate. It does not control the machine to make a specific amount of coffee. That can be confusing because of all the other complicated coffee makers on the market. This is the type of coffee maker that simply uses all the water you give it to make the exact amount of coffee you want with the exact strength that you like.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee, but is it the one to buy?
    This review is for the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select. I am a craft coffee roaster…I roast my own coffee purchased from all over the world. I want a coffee brewer that does justice to the effort that I have put into buying and roasting my green coffee beans.

    If you’re like me, you’re not just wondering if the Moccamaster is a good coffee maker, but you are wondering if it is the one to buy…is it worth the money? With that in mind, I will talk about the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select and compare it to a competing coffee maker in hopes of being of assistance in making your decision; but I won’t go into great detail so I’m not repeating marketing hype.

    The Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select is a really pretty machine. It looks just like it’s pictured on Amazon. I bought the teal model. So, if you like the looks in the pictures, then you’ll like the looks of the machine. It meets the SCAA gold cup standard for brewing, and so it does make very good coffee. It takes a standard #4 cone filter which are easy to find. It has a switch that can be set to either half pot or full pot (the primary reason I bought this particular model). The carafe is glass and it is thin; nothing wrong with that but don’t dink it on the counter or the sink as it will likely crack. Having said that, I think that coffee brewed in glass tastes a tiny bit better….maybe. I can tell very little difference between coffee brewed in glass and that brewed in stainless. By all accounts, the internal working of the coffee maker are excellent and should be expected to last a long time. In short, it a good coffee making machine and it brews good coffee. Now the cons: The lid over the water reservoir and the lid over the coffee filter are both loose pieces. No big deal, but when you are filling the water and putting coffee in the filter, you have to kind of juggle those loose lids and find a place to put them on the counter that is out of the way. Not a deal breaker, but be aware that this adds just a bit of “busyness” to the coffee brewing process. Also, the power switch which initiates the brew keeps the hot plate on will stay on for like 100 minutes if you do not remember to turn it off, even if the carafe is not on the machine. I would think a machine of this quality would have some kind of sensor to turn the hot plate off if the carafe is not on the machine. One final note; I purchased my Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select during Prime days for $245 instead of the normal $349…the lowest price ever offered by Technivorm. I have always wanted a Moccamaster, but without that $104 savings? I would not have purhcased it. $349 is too much for a household coffee maker. For that matter, so is $245.

    I also own the OXO 9 Cup maker with a stainless thermal carafe. It is an attractive, modern looking machine. It also is a SCAA gold cup standard coffee brewer that can make a half or whole pot. The carafe is virtually indestructible and keeps a full pot of coffee very hot for a long time (1.5-2 hours). Both the water reservoir lid and filter housing lid are hinged permentantly to the machine so they are never in the way or taking up counter space. Are the internal working as highly engineered and constructed as those of the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select? Probably not. But, I’ve had my OXO for three years and it works flawlessly every time. OXO engineers their products well and I expect their machine to last a long time. The OXO does not have a hot plate so no issue like that of the Moccamaster. One neat thing it does do; it senses if the carafe is in place and if it is not in place you cannot brew. Nice safety/convenience feature, I think. Cons: none really, unless you consider a stainless carafe a con. I do not. There might be a miniscule difference in taste (one that cannot be quantified), but I cannot definitively say there is. I have been drinking my own roasts for the last three years brewed in the OXO. Every good roast has tasted good; every poor roast has tasted poor. But, that’s on me the roaster….not on the brewer. At just about $200 full price, the OXO is a bargain compared to the Moccamaster.

    If you chose to buy the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select you’ve got a very good machine. If you pay $349 for it, I have to say that you spent a lot more money for a coffee brewer than you needed it. If you really want the Moccamaster, buy it and be proud of it. You’ll like the coffee. If you want a very good coffee maker and you don’t absolutely have to own a Moccamaster, be a better steward of your money and buy the OXO for about $200 or less. You won’t be dissapointed with either brewer, but you might be disappointed with yourself for spending more than you need to for a good coffee maker.

    FYI: 1)The Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select is about 14″ tall and the OXO is about 15″…if this matters to you. 2) I use the Melitta Bamboo #4 filters on both machines because they don’t impart a papery taste to the coffee…IMO.

    Hope this help you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Simple and Powerful
    This machine is so simple compared to many other coffee machines I’ve owned and I love it for that. It’s so simple to clean and executes on its core job of making a great cup of coffee with precision and consistency. I have had to start drinking less coffee every day after switching to this machine and it seems to extract far more caffeine from the beans than my last machine. This is actually saving me money now as I don’t requires as much coffee to get my energy up 🙂

    5.0 out of 5 stars The coffee machine that makes you ask “What do I value?”
    My last coffee machine had a hundred options, made a fine pot of coffee, and lasted all of 2.5 years. And it only lasted that long with me working around its mechanical problems for the last year. I tried to fix it, but it literally was put together with “tamper proof” screws. So – designed specifically to not be repaired and thus now it is in the land fill.

    This machine could not be more different. It strips the coffee making process down to the basics. Makes a great pot of coffee in a short amount of time. And comes with a best in class warranty. They even service it for a reasonable price after the warranty expires.

    As far as the coffee taste goes, don’t expect magical properties. It heats water and pours it over coffee grounds. That is it. But the water gets to the ideal temperature quickly and stays at that temperature throughout the brew.

    So if you highly value simplicity, reliability, and repairability and are willing to pay a little extra for these, then this is the machine for you. If you expect a $350 machine to make a pot of coffee that is 3.5 times better than a $100 dollar machine, or have 3.5 times the features, then this is not the machine for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just what’s needed to get your day started
    Well built, extremely easy to clean. It’s NOT built like a tank because it has a lot of plastic pieces, but these seem to be very high quality plastic. Only time will tell how long these last. These seem to be prone to scratches, so be gentle.

    The main reason why I bought it was for its internal components, and so far it has not disappointed. The water temperature for brewing is maintained ~200 F and with constant flow. The water temperature once it reaches the coffee bed is on point.

    The hot plate keeps the coffee hot without burning it.

    If you are looking into this you might be on the search for great coffee, but remember that this is an automatic machine and the fact that you can mess with different variables might only created issues for you at the beginning- so stay constant and don’t get disappointed.

    I didn’t buy this to overcomplicate myself, but to have a more consistent automatic brewing. You can go down the rabbit hole of micromanaging the coffee brewing process (stopping the flow for bloom, agitate the grounds, modify the showe head, etc), but if you just let it do its job, I think you can be happy.

    Yes, you can experiment with:
    a) half pot vs full pot settings
    b) ratio
    c) grind size
    d) coffee bed distribution

    This is what’s worked for me:
    a) half pot if doing below 6cups (750ml); full pot if doing above
    b) ratio 1:17
    c) Grind setting medium coarse (across multiple beans): Baratza Encore ~20-22; Ode 2 ~6
    d) instead of a flat bed, doing it with a slope (from the side of the water going down to the handle side)

    Got it with a deal on Prime day, think this is a much more reasonable price than the full $400.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Don’t bother searching for reviews online… Buy something else
    I will start by saying, I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 for two reasons. First, it’s not a terrible machine. It makes good tasting coffee. Second, a lot of the things I will talk about, like the lack of features and the high price, are things I knew before buying it.

    I ordered this machine on Christmas day, because our last coffee maker simply gave out. I read a ton of reviews online from from different sources… NY Times, Vice, NY Mag, and a bunch of others. The only conclusion I can make is that for some reason the writers aren’t being honest and they are publishing VERY positive reviews for this machine. I’m not making any guesses or accusations to why they would do that.

    So first here is my personal experience; the caveat again being that I knew it had no features going in, although I had no idea it would feel so cheaply made. Then afterward I will list the pros and cons.

    I’ve had the machine for more than 7 months now. The best thing I can say is that it still works, and it makes a consistent brew of coffee, every single time. But within 3 months, the spring that controls the spring-loaded drip-stop functionality popped out. I only realized this a couple days later, but I was fortunate enough to find the spring, which had fallen out while I was rinsing out the coffee holder. It happened to fall into my garbage disposal in the sink, and stayed there long enough for me to find it and put it back in place. I haven’t had an issue with the spring since then because I have been more careful when rinsing it.

    Now however, the ONLY feature that the machine DOES have has stopped working. That singular feature is the ability to switch between a full carafe and a half carafe. My machine no longer recognizes that switch. So however much water I put in, the machine will run until the water runs out. This means if I want a half carafe, I have to measure the water first before putting it in the machine, because if I add too much water the machine doesn’t stop at half carafe when it is switched to half carafe, and I wind up with a full pot of weak coffee.

    Those are the only 2 problems I’ve had, but I think when you pay almost $400 for a coffee machine (after tax) that has no other features, those 2 problems are big problems! Maybe there was a time when these weren’t mass-produced by the company and the quality was better, I don’t know. But in current state, it’s just a way overpriced coffee machine.

    PROS –
    -Consistent brew of coffee every single time.
    -No-pump water dispenser is GREAT, and hassle-free.

    CONS – everything else…
    -The quality is not good. The machine is mostly plastic
    -The glass carafe is made of very thin glass, it’s small, and the shape of the spout causes it to spill VERY easily, requiring you to be extra careful when pouring.
    -The 100-minute on-time after brewing is too short. You will read that this keeps the coffee fresh, etc. but having had to restart it many times, I can tell you that the coffee is just fine if left on longer. As long as the plate temperature isn’t too hot, and there’s a decent amount of coffee still in the carafe, it’s not going to taste burnt, if it stays on longer.
    -The lack of features, and early failure of both parts and features is astonishing given the price of the machine, even if you are aware going in.
    – The price. It’s a super-expensive coffee-only machine. For this price, understanding that it does nothing except make coffee… there’s not even a timer… you should be able to expect a couple of things. There should NEVER be pieces falling off. The only feature that it does offer should not fail in less than a year. The build materials should be much better quality than they are. That’s it. That was all I expected, knowing the price and lack of features. And somehow, it still failed to meet those minimum expectations.

    I’m still using the machine, and will use it for a while, because I usually make a full carafe of coffee… I almost never need the now-broken, half-carafe feature; and also because I did, after all, pay almost $400 for the machine. So it’d be a waste to throw it out. I might reach out to support about the half/full switch that doesn’t work. But honestly I feel like that’s an extra hassle I shouldn’t have to deal with for a product of this price. So I will just keep using it as-is. But I can’t recommend ANYONE buying this machine for ANY reason, even if the price was to be cut in half.

    Do yourself a favor and pass on this machine… either find another expensive machine, with more features and better build quality, or just buy a regular coffee machine for under $200, and use the other $200 on something else! Don’t let the publications where you read reviews of this machine fool you into thinking that despite it’s lack of features, and lack of build quality, that it makes such a great cup of coffee that the price is justified. There is nothing about this product that justifies the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I didn’t even drink the coffee
    I purchased this machine for my partner. 12 years ago when we met he mentioned this is the brand he would buy if he were to buy a new one. I bought him a new one and it wasn’t this one. He has used it religiously and loved it. 12 years and a Prime Day deal later, i purchased the Moccamaster.

    First. It’s a beautiful machine. His kitchen is all white so this Pistachio color added the pop of color that was needed. The first morning, I set up the machine only needed to locate the coffee/, water ratio. Spoiler: 7 scoops for a full pot.

    I washed all the parts, ran a full pot of water through the machine, and then brewed a pot of coffee. It’s so easy to assemble. You don’t need the manual. The coffee smells amazing and my partner said, this coffee tastes really good.

    About 3 years ago he went through head/ neck cancer. Chemo and radiation. For more than a year nothing tasted right. In the last year he regained more of his tastes but still reminds me his ability to tastes still isn’t right. For him to notice a difference and say how good the coffee tasted is a mic drop moment.

    If you believe your old coffee maker is getting the job done, or may not be as good as you think. Don’t spend more than $250 , but get this machine!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Rich, flavorful coffee
    This Moccamaster replaces a series CuisineArt drip coffee makers that I’ve been using for nearly 30 years. Reliable but only adequate if making dark roasted coffees. As I got interested in lighter roasted coffees that old CusineArt just couldn’t get both flavor and reduced acidity in the same brew. I should also point out that I normally make .5-to-.6-liter batches since I am the only coffee drinker.

    Right from the start the Moccamaster made a rich, clean-flavored batch of medium roast Colombian. As instructed, I set the grind several notches coarser than I used for the CusineArt. For a .6 liter batch (using the half liter setting) I found that the initial water flow didn’t wet the right side of the basket so now I pour the grounds into the basket to “lean” the grounds toward the left. The grounds eventually level themselves out. There is a reason the Moccamaster wins just about everybody’s comparison taste tests, it just makes great coffee.

    I gave the Moccamaster 4 stars because I am a bit surprised that the plastic parts (covers, trim) seem cheap and flimsy. They are very thin, shiny, and seem inappropriate for such an expensive machine. I haven’t dropped any plastic pieces on the tile floor of the kitchen yet, but I don’t have a good feeling about how they will fare when I do. I get the feeling from the reviews that many people leave the covers on the shelf. I’ll probably do the same thing.

    I have been using this product for several weeks now first of all let me start off by saying this beautiful little MoccaMaster brews a fabulous cup of coffee truly barista quality I have read other reviews where some people said the pot was too thin its actually not I love the aesthetics of it I purchased it in the off white its very pleasing to the eyes and does not take up a lot of space but most of all the delicious cup of coffee that I get to enjoy every morning is just the thing I need to start off my day if your in the market for a new brewer give this one a try you wont regret it I know I don’t I would definitely purchase this product again Thank You MoccaMaster and Thank You Amazon for bringing us such a high quality product I no longer have to go out for a great cup of java if I don’t feel like it

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, if you stir…
    Makes excellent coffee that easily rivals the manual pour overs that I’ve been making daily for the last decade. I simply don’t have time for that anymore. Researched a ton but ultimately decided that I’d rather not fiddle with settings and presets and wanted a simple tried and true machine. Plus this is clearly one of the best looking machines to put on your counter which was another deciding factor. Most coffee brewers are large and ugly. This one has class.
    Only gripe is I’ve found that I do need to stir the grounds at least once during the brew. The shower head does not fully cover the basket and this will lead to underextracted coffee and it is visibly noticeable in the brew basket after brewing a pot w/o stirring. But I’m ok with that. This issue is well documented on the internet and many people say it’s not a big deal. I’m just a coffee nerd so I care. Giving it a little stir and then walking away is still substantially less work than a manual pour over. Overall I’m happy with it

    4.0 out of 5 stars Finally found the one
    Family and Friends now think i must work for Technivorm because I keep telling them how much better the coffee is and making them try a cup to consider getting one.
    Is it that much better? yeah it produces a good tasting cup of coffee without the bitter or unpleasing elements.
    So why not 5 stars? well for the price the cheap plastic elements of the product really detract from the overall quality. Why not a handle that doesn’t feel like its going to snap under its own weight?
    in the end the coffee is what matters most so I still got to recommend

    5.0 out of 5 stars Believe the hype
    I am coming from a Bonavita which is also great. The Bonavita still works I was just able to get the Moccamster in a rare Prime Day deal.

    The coffee brewed is great. I did look up videos on how to make the best cup possible, but that is just tweaking.

    The plastics on the carafe feel lightweight. I am not sure they are flimsy though.

    Definitely a balance of form and function.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Is It As Good As They Claim
    I ask myself, what does a cup of coffee from a near $400 coffee maker taste like? Is it better than a $20 Mr coffee coffee maker? There’s videos and reviews across the internet from “experts” who swear by this machine, I need to know for myself. Well, prime day discount made it closer to acceptable. Love the color options, finally settled on midnight blue. But let’s start with the gripes. For that price the water reservoir being plastic is sadly disappointing. And like everyone else who reviews these machines, the plastic bits are cheap and the carafe feels dainty, like a fragile toy. These things are disappointing. I literally sat by the door waiting for this to be delivered and I ripped it out of the box, set it up and fired up my first cup of joe from a very expensive luxury coffee maker. I even broke out some fancy crackers for the affair. I used the same beans, same grind, same amounts, same water, same cup, same creamer and sweetener, just like I do everyday and what I found was the coffe brewed in this tasted better. It tasted like coffee, not burnt, less acidic and I couldn’t be happier. It looks awesome, no buzzers, bells or computers, just flip the button and in near silent hyper speed, coffee. The pluses far out weigh the cheapy plastic bits and carafe. (You can see it right next to my old coffee maker in the pics). A+++.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I’m not a coffee connoisseur; does the brewer make a difference?
    Emphatically, yes! If you’re on the fence about spending this much on a coffee brewer, then jump off with money in hand.

    We buy decent coffee, whole bean, and only grind a pot’s worth each morning in an effort to keep as much flavour as possible in the bean. We even use bottled water. All that thought goes into the coffee but not the machine we brew it in.

    We’ve always bought basic brewers, until our last one, which was still only ~$80. We used it for a couple of years, but still, we were unsatisfied with the flavour and overall experience of relishing in that first, hot cup of the morning.

    Not anymore! I was hesitant but decided it was worth a try. After all, Amazon accepts returns. I am so glad I did. Now, this is a bit smaller than the average brewer (10 cups), but with the quality of what’s brewed, you don’t even miss it. Every good thing that’s in a coffee bean, this brewer expertly and deliciously extracts it to give you an incredible cup of coffee.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Has more plastic than anticipated
    My review will be mixed. First, this is a beautiful machine that makes a wonderful cup of coffee. We haven’t had for very long, but easy to use, smooth and quick. We chose the pinkish copper color and it really is gorgeous. Over and over we’ve tried other brands including cousin art and something always breaks. Really hoping this holds up for years.

    On the downside:

    The carafe doesn’t have a metal trim on the bottom. I have always thought that gives the glass some strength and Resillience. When I’m moving fast in the kitchen, I do tend to clank a pot as I wash it on the corner of the counter and break them so I will need to be extra extra careful with this one

    But most disappointing to me is the amount of plastic used in this. Had I seen it in person, I would have spotted it right away. One of the reviewers said it had the least amount of plastic and that sold me!!! But that’s not true. There is a lot of plastic and most concerning is the funnel of plastic that sits within the coffee itself.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee maker
    I’m far from being a coffee expert but I do like good coffee in the morning. While this maker is expensive, it delivers on brewing a pot of hot coffee. I don’t grind beans and but try various suppliers of ground coffee. I’ve been using this now for 60 days. Have not been disappointed. I previously used the top rated Consumer Reports machine. This one consistently yields a great pot of coffee. My advice is to wait for a sale (Black Friday or mid year on Amazon).

    5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect drip coffeemaker
    I’ve used a Cuisinart and Mr. Coffee over the years, as well as Melita and Chemex. The Moccamaster, which I bought 3 weeks ago, makes hands down the best drip coffee I’ve ever had (& that includes drip coffee at Starbucks and Pete’s). I like it better than Chemex—& it’s easier to use than Chemex. Remember, this is drip coffee —it has a different taste than French press or espresso or those nasty pod machines. Moccamaster does one thing only—it makes excellent drip coffee.

    Other reviewers dinged this machine for arriving with a chipped heating plate &/or were disappointed in the thickness of the glass carafe. My Moccamaster Select arrived in perfect condition. And I found the glass carafe to be pretty much no different (in terms of thickness/quality) than other carafes with other coffee makers —it even Chemex.

    This is an expensive machine. I thought about buying it for a long time & read lots of reviews. I’m very glad I purchased it, & I’m enjoying it very much every day.

    tldr: This is the best coffee pot I’ve ever owned.

    Many reviews say the parts are cheap and plastic-y, they are plastic, but they don’t feel cheap to me. Every part feels necessary, and minimal. I love how simple the functionality is, two switches, that’s it. The water wand is convenient and doesn’t leak at all. Most importantly, it makes great coffee. Perfect temp, perfect consistency and ground saturation, and the hot plate doesn’t burn it if you leave it on. If this thing holds up for a couple years, I will be super pleased and probably buy another, perhaps a new color! So happy and relieved this thing lived up to my expectations.

    It seems to make a better cup of coffee than my normal $50 drip machine. I also get to thumb my nose at people who don’t, which is a big plus.

    For the price, I would have liked to have seen more glass and metal than plastic.

    Also, I’m assuming it’ll turn itself off if you leave it on? I have not tested it, but you need to make some space for that big, exposed heating element under the pot.

    I really enjoy the Moccamaster. It really had me step up my game with coffee. Though to be honest, I now grind fresh roasted beans that are roasted locally which probably makes a bigger difference. However, it does not burn the brew like my old drip coffee maker. Would purchase again if for some reason I had to replace it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I drink my coffee black
    I’ve been drinking my coffee black for the last 20 years – I just like it that way. I’m no connoisseur, but I can tell a good cup from a bad cup. We’ve had the same coffee maker for the last 10 years. It was one of the standard ones you put on your wedding registry. It did the job fine.

    Over the last 10 years, I brewed our coffee with a standard coffee maker, french press, Aeropress, and pour-over using a v60. The v60 was the one I used and loved the most up until about 4 years ago – that’s when we welcomed our firstborn into the world. I made a full pivot back to the standard coffee maker – occasionally using the v60 when I get a nice bag of coffee.

    Towards the end of last year, my wife and I agreed that we’d purchase a nicer coffee maker since we’ve had our current one for so long. I started researching.. So many cool machines out there these days that will do all sorts of things like grind your beans for you, make espresso (or nespresso), and plenty of other things- but at the end of the day I wanted something that simply made good coffee. I found a few options, thought about it for a while but still didn’t have my mind made up. Fast forward to a day where my wife forwards me an instagram story about some influencer who “likes nice things” – she was talking up this very Moccamaster – I had never heard of a Moccamaster so I was intrigued. I clicked on the link, did a little more research and was really impressed. I didn’t want to get my hopes high.. but.. that first cup of coffee was the way coffee is intended to taste.

    I’m convinced that I couldn’t do a pour over with my v60 that tastes as good as this coffee maker does it. I thought it might just be the bag of coffee I was using so I wanted to go through all my usual coffees before I wrote a review. I’ve brewed local craft coffees to mass produced coffees. Even the Dunkin coffee is the best Dunkin I’ve ever had!

    This coffee maker truly keeps things simple and good. You pay a little more for it, but it’s something you’ll use every day. This is probably my favorite purchase I’ve ever made from Amazon. Well done, Moccamaster team – thank you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect
    I completed a lot of research looking for a coffee maker that lasted a long time, didn’t start burning the coffee, easy to clean and more. I love the unique look of this maker, the ease in cleaning and fit perfectly in limited space. I love that it has not started to burn the coffee so today it tasted just as delicious as the day i got it. This is a well made coffee maker except two things the lid to the pot comes off way to easily and sometimes the pot gets stuck on the warmer from the meeting point of the pot lid and the dispenser.

    5.0 out of 5 stars MY NEW FAVORITE APPLIANCE
    I spent many days researching the best coffee maker to fit my needs and the Buy it For Life Subreddit had nothing but awesome things to say about this machine so I ended up purchasing it during the Black Friday Sale.

    I used to be someone who would justify buying coffee out all the time and since the day I got it, I haven’t had coffee out one single time because I like the coffee I make at home MUCH better. The Moccamaster is super easy to use, makes my coffee quickly, and the coffee is good EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    The one drawback is how many pieces need to be washed everyday, but I don’t have a dishwasher. It really isn’t too bad though and takes me around 3 minutes to get it all washed.

    I have been ranting and raving to everybody who will listen about how much I love this thing! I will definitely be purchasing more items to add to my coffee routine from this company.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Finally bought after 20 years — great coffee, but very fussy machine
    I’ve been looking at this manufacturer for 20 years — ever since Cooks Illustrated rated it the best. I finally bought one. The bottom line is it makes very good coffee, but I don’t love the machine yet. I expected fussy, but after using its closest competitor (Bonavita) for years — which is exceedingly easy to use and also makes very good coffee — this seems a little much. There is a loose, separate cover for both the water and the grounds that have to be removed and placed somewhere (on my crowded counter) while you add water and grounds. The transfer arm that transports the water to the grounds is removable, and while it seems fairly secure, since it’s press-fitted to the reservoir’s silicone seal, I’m concerned that over time it will loosen and lose its seal. The brew basket has to fit into pegs, and has a spring-loaded release trap that I expect to wear out eventually. It’s also complicated to clean, due to its design. The glass carafe has this bizarre funnel lid that goes to the bottom of the carafe, and is awkward to maneuver when filling it with water, so I just remove it. The warming plate surface material (some kind of plastic) has a fair amount of friction, and since one has to push up another spring-loaded device when slipping the pot under the basket, it makes it more difficult to get the pot in. It tends to bind, and you have to wiggle the pot a little to get it under. They should improve the plastic – make it more slick — or just switch to stainless steel, which would have more slip. Washing all these individual parts will be a chore, and I think they have to be hand-washed.

    Yes, I’m being fussier than the coffee maker itself, but all these things add up in the morning when you have 5 minutes to get out the door to work. I’ve only been using it for four days, so I’m sure I’ll get more used to it, and maybe my morning grumpiness may improve.

    The only true flaw I’ve found so far is the carafe spout lip. It has a low velocity pour speed, or it will break and dribble down the pot. The Bonavita can be poured nearly as fast as one wishes, as the lip is very well designed. For coffee it’s not that big of a deal, as one usually pours it fairly slow, but I always get water on the counter when filling the reservoir with the carafe, and it’s irritating. I’m going to use it a while, and if it continues to be a problem, I’m going to assume it’s a bad carafe — and not design — and ask for a replacement.

    OK — that’s the bad, and yes I was very nit-picky, but this is a $350 coffee maker that has been touted as the finest home brew for decades — and I think it deserves a picky review.

    On the good side, it’s a beautiful design, over-all. Very cool look. Besides the issues, above, it does seem sturdy and well made. The plastic cover on the reservoir seems a little cheap, but I’m being really picky now. Overall it seems well made. The most important thing is the coffee taste, of course, and it does make damn good coffee. With the same beans, comparatively, it is not quite as extracted as the Bonavita, but the coffee seems more nuanced. I’ll try it with other beans — maybe go head to head with the Bonavita– and get back to you. I do suspect that the coffee will be better in the Technovorm. My wife — who gets up an hour and a half after me for work — says it does a great job at keeping the coffee warm. I’m giving it 4 stars because of my observed design issues — and yes, because my expectations have been so high for so many years. Flavor is 5 stars. Stay tuned….

    4.0 out of 5 stars Makes strong coffee!
    $350 for a coffeemaker is, well, silly. But I did it anyway. After years of weak pod coffee, then a few months of literal coffee flavored water from a “top brand” electric percolator, I was just done. All I wanted was a simple, good cup of coffee. No unnecessary tech to go wrong, no dumb “smart” tech, just a good cup of coffee. So, I did the unthinkable and bought the technivorm. The clinchers were it’s simplistic design, the fact that it has the least amount of plastic that comes into contact with the hot water or coffee (though it still has A LOT of plastic, much to my chagrin) and it’s made in The Netherlands, NOT CHINA.
    So, does it make a good cup of coffee? Yes! But boy is it strong for my now ridiculously unrefined palate. So many years of weak coffee made me forget what real coffee tasted like. It’s good, but will take time for me to adjust to. Or you could just lessen the amount of grounds used. I’ll probably do that.
    My biggest beef? The carafe. It is every bit as fragile feeling as all the reviews state. I’m thinking I should have gotten the thermal carafe instead. Plus, after using only twice, tiny little cracks in the lip of the pour spout have formed (see pic). I will contact technivorm for a replacement as truly, this IS indeed unacceptable for a $350 coffee maker. I will update if/when I hear back.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Makes great coffee
    I don’t consider myself to be a coffee connoisseur, yet here I am…

    For most of my life I’ve used Mr. Coffee coffee burners. And while I noticed that the coffee I was making (wasting) did not taste as good as the coffee from nice restaurants and coffee shops, I didn’t really care much, and kind of assumed it was due to their expensive makers and fancy coffee. It turns out that was only partially true. About 7 years ago my most recent coffee burner died, so I went to my favorite coffee burner store, Home Depot. I found a $20 Black & Decker 5-cup coffee burner. Except, it didn’t burn the coffee. The maker included a reusable mesh filter. Combining the additional solute from the mesh filter, with coffee that was brewed at the correct temperature…my world was changed. I began sampling fancier coffee’s that my deluxe $20 maker was worthy of. I even joined a coffee club. Whenever I had guests over, I’d brew a pot of coffee and wait for the compliments. And generally, friends and family did often comment that they really liked my coffee.

    Now that you know my life story and we are basically best friends, let’s talk about the Moccamaster. A few years after the purchase of my $20 deluxe coffee maker I went to visit a cousin in Portland. For those of you that don’t know, Portland basically invented coffee. My cousin roasted his own beans and brewed in a retro-looking Moccamaster. The coffee we drank that week was phenomenal. I searched some of his equipment and was immediately put off by the price. I’m, uh…rather cheap. This fancy coffee lifestyle would be relegated to vacations and special occasions. A few years, pounds, and pay raises later, my mom has moved in with me. It didn’t take her long to discover my coffee. And while I’m happy to share, we have found the 5-cup capacity of my $20 maker to be a little short of our need. The Moccamaster has definitely been on my mind since my trip to Coffee-land. It has double the capacity, 40 ounces. It’s a done deal.

    Here is what I like about it:
    – Handmade by Dutch gnomes (or maybe humans…it’s all really unclear)
    – Retro design and color options
    – Makes truly great coffee
    – Includes a 5-year warranty
    – Replacement parts make it highly serviceable
    – *Designed for the connoisseur (see below)

    Here is what I dislike about it:
    – It’s too expensive
    – Plastic parts feel thin and cheap
    – Minimal user settings
    – *Designed for the connoisseur (see below)

    Cost is relative. For someone spending $10 a day at Starbucks, the Moccamaster may save you significant money over time. I was never doing that. I upgraded from the cheapest maker I could find. I’ve justified this as a “treat yo’self” purchase. As my $20 deluxe coffee maker showed me, you don’t need to spend big money to have a decent cup of Joe.

    *It’s designed for the connoisseur. What I mean is that it’s not packed full of typical “American” safety features. For example, you can remove the filter basket cover to stir, or just watch the coffee blume. My $20 deluxe maker stops dripping if the lid is opened. The showerhead of the Moccamaster is stainless steel and fully exposed while brewing. You are freely able to put your hands on it and burn the heck out of yourself. I personally appreciate that it was not ruined by lawyers. This is also reflected in the fact that the carafe is not dishwasher safe. It’s clearly designed for someone that is a coffee enthusiast, willing to take the time and put in the work to prepare a quality cup of coffee. Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle. Is there room for improvement by making the plastic parts and carafe dishwasher safe? I think so!

    At the end of the day I do recommend it for those that know what they are looking for.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Money
    Disappointed with the product. Yes, it makes a good cup of coffee due to providing the correct water temperature, but it’s way over priced. My expectation was a coffee make that was much more substantial considering the price…but it’s not. It uses very flimsy material and just has a cheap feel to it. I expected a beast of product (based on price) and it severely missed the mark.

    Also, the QA on the product is suspect. There’s a noticeable flaw on the hotplate and you have to wonder how it passed when the product marketing material touts (multiple times) how this is hand made product.

    The 10 cup capacity is another problem. I knew this when I purchased it… thought I could live with.. but it really is just too little coffee for us in the morning.

    Seems as though Mocca master has successfully crossed the price/value barrier to where in my opinion it’s just not a good purchase for what you get.

    If the price has you hesitating on purchasing it I would recommend not doing so as you’ll likely be disappointed.

    I don’t mean to pick on Germany… but I had the same problem (quality) with a pair of Sennheiser wireless earbuds… two pair failed within a year….finally went to apple…great quality and better sound.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Manufacturing Defect — Otherwise Great Coffee Maker
    I received the “Stone Grey” Moccamaster 53949 KBGV model yesterday (7/24/2024) from Amazon, with Amazon sale and delivery. Yes, it is easy to use and brews delicious hot coffee. The kudos given by other reviews are merited.

    But this one has a manufacturing defect. Very prominent and immediately noticeable. It is a roughly 1/4th inch round’ish gouge deep into the hot plate warmer which digs deeply into the metal, completely removing the black enamel that otherwise covers the warmer in that spot, leaving bare metal visible.

    Amazon’s shipping box was fine with no outward sign of damage or rough handling, the manufacturer’s product box was similarly fine with no signs of problems nor mishandling, and the product inside was very well packaged and was internally supported very well to prevent damage. So clearly it is a defect that occurred prior to packaging.

    Thankfully it does not affect usage, brewing, or warming results — The glass carafe does not rest on the gouge. So this defect is effectively “cosmetic” in nature. Just wish it wasn’t there, because I will see it every time.

    Since this is proudly listed as “hand built”, it is very disappointing that whomever assembled this particular coffee maker, plus whomever performed final inspection prior to packaging, actually let this be approved for sale.

    So buyer beware. Since the manufacturer was willing to ship/sell this one, there is thus a potential for other buyers to get one that is also damaged or defective in some way.

    This particular high-end coffee maker is otherwise fine. Which is why I removed just one star for Poor Quality Assurance. Overly harsh? Well, shame on whomever for letting it get to a customer.

    EDIT: I see now (7/25/2024) a review by another customer here who shows a photo with an identical gouge on the hot plate warmer. This indicates that mine is not a one-time manufacturing error. So other people buying these expensive coffee makers can potentially receive one that also has the same manufacturing defect. Penalized another Star, down from 4 to 3.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It works! And it is built to keep on working.
    Temperature is spot on and consistent at 194F. Coverage and bloom of the grounds is likewise consistent. This is a remarkable unit, and makes an enjoyable cup of coffee as simple as it gets.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best Coffee maker I’ve ever owned.
    I’ve owned a Technivorm Moccamaster 10 cup Coffee Maker for over 15 years. It was the KB brewer. It’s been the best coffeemaker that I’ve ever bought. And I’ve bought many other coffee maker brands since 1982. None of them compared. I realized it was time to replace it. It was still brewing my coffee ( My favorite Peet’s Major Dickinson brand), but it was looking dated. I decided during Amazon Prime Day to see if I could replace it with a newer version. Yay, Amazon had the KBGV on sale. I saved a $100.00 on prime day sale. I’m very happy with it. It has some features that I my older coffee maker didn’t have. I purchased the Polished Silver color. I highly recommend Technivorm Moccamaster for coffee aficionados.

    Best automatic coffee maker for the money! Rivals my V60 pour over in brew quality. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet elegant
    Wow, that’s a lot of money for a coffee pot. Is it worth it? For me, yes. For anyone else? That’s up to them. It makes a beautiful cup of coffee. It is definitely smoother and more flavorful than my old worn out pot. If you loves your coffee, and can afford the price point, then you will not be disappointed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST coffee pot
    The media could not be loaded. This is the best coffee pot I’ve ever had!

    I’ve been looking for a coffee pot that had no plastic. But none to be found except an industrial home version with a metal basket. Not exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been researching for few weeks and found this pot.

    The plastic that they use are BPA, BPS, BPF and phthalate-free plastic. It had better quality plastic than any other ones that I’ve I seen out there.
    I was also looking for one that made really good coffee. And this pot does that. It makes a clean and smooth coffee.

    It keeps the coffee hot. Which I saw a review that said it dosen’t but it does.

    After having coffee from this pot, I don’t want to go get coffee from a Starbucks or any other place. They won’t taste as good as mine! I really mean that. It’s amazing!
    Plus I started grinding my own coffee before making a pot. That makes a difference also.
    This big purchase was worth every dollar and then some!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing coffee
    Very easy to operate. Delicious. Does use about 50% more grounds than traditional drip makers. And, I do wish I got the larger capacity. Buying on Prime Day made it affordable too. If you love coffee you will want to try this.
