Technivorm Moccamaster 53936 KBGV 10-Cup Coffee Maker Brushed Gold, 40 Ounce, 1.25l

After considerable research I decided to purchase a Moccamaster. The coffee machine I replaced was a conventional drip maker that was inconsistent in taste and I was looking for something that provides a quality cup of coffee. I knew exactly what to expect when it arrived and wasn’t surprised by the plastic parts or anything associated with the build. A major plus for me is the longevity of the company and replacement parts which are readily available if necessary. It’s simple to clean and has a cool retro look. I like the fact that it’s no frills, I don’t need another device that connects via blue tooth or requires an app. Low tech is better in this instance. Now the most important part that in my opinion is necessary for a quality cup of coffee. It’s a tremendous difference when you grind your own beans. I was purchasing ground coffee from a specialty shop and it wasn’t working in the Moccamaster. The coffee was coming out too weak, didn’t have a smooth taste and the flavors were muted. Grinding the beans solves the issue and you get the full flavor of the bean. What works for me when brewing is starting the unit without the carafe and allowing water to drip just over the top of the grounds. I then pause the brew cycle by turning off the machine. I let the coffee bloom for 60 seconds lightly stir the grounds , replace the carafe and finish the brew cycle, Once brewed I then allow an additional 4 minutes of rest. The finished cup of coffee is the perfect temperature and there is no hint of bitterness or sour notes. It’s a great addition to the morning with a quality cup of coffee. Update: I was experiencing some unexpected inconsistencies with my coffee. I went back to the beginning and eliminated all possibilities related to what could be happening. As it turned out it was my old coffee mugs. The ceramic mug had degraded and cleaning was not possible. The stainless mugs were stained. Both scenarios when adding very hot coffee released an unpleasant taste. I completely cleaned the stainless mugs and purchased a new ceramic mug. Do yourself a favor and if you have old mugs get some new ones and if you have stainless mugs clean them. I found a tip that works. Drop a dishwasher detergent tablet in the mug and add boiling water. The results are quite incredible.

Had this delivered last night. Made a first pot to try it out last night and it was awesome. Made my second pot this morning and all I can say is... SUCK IT POD COFFEE! WE'RE THROUGH! This Moccamaster makes real coffee that does not taste synthetic. I tried Kuerig and Nesspresso machines for the last several years and just put up with them for the convenience. This time I bought a real coffee maker and even splurged for the Moccamaster coffee bean grinder. Doing coffee the right way from here on out. I really like the look and feel of both the coffee maker and grinder. It's a little bit more work to get a cup of coffee versus throwing a pod in a machine, but definitely worth the little bit extra effort and clean up. The Moccamaster and the bean grinder take up less space, they look cool, and they are kind of fun to use and a bit fascinating to watch. They are made fairly sturdy. I feel like I have graduated. I highly recommend Moccamaster!

Love this coffee make. Makes a great cup of coffee, looks great and is made well. Also very easy to clean as the various parts are easy to disassemble and put back together. It is a bit pricy but well made, easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee.

I rarely write reviews - I cannot even remember the last one - but I had to write one for this coffeemaker. I love it so much! We have had ALL the coffeemakers. Keurig, Nespresso, Cuisinart, Breville... we even splurged on a Terra Kaffe. Some of them did too much, some the coffee was bitter, some the coffee wasn't hot (Terra, I'm looking at you!). After going back to a simple Ninja pod that was fine, I was desperate for HOT, good tasting coffee. If that's what you are looking for, this is the machine! It's not fancy, does not require anything fancy and makes spectacular, HOT coffee. I love the design (we have the dark green and it matches our house beautifully) and how easy it is to clean and maintain. My only improvement would be that the glass carafe be a bit thicker. I read this in the reviews before buying so I wasn't surprised, but I would agree that I worry about it breaking at some point. For me, though, I will happily replace that part as the rest of the machine is just that good.

Makes delicious coffee and looks very sleek in my kitchen. Happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Me parece un poco cara. Está fabricada principalmente de piezas plásticas. La jarra receptora es de un cristal muy delgado y se siente frágil. Las primeras 2 o 3 veces que la usé me decepcionó por la escasa extraccion que producía un café insípido, pero empecé a jugar con el tamaño de la molienda y cantidades de manera diferente a la que usaba en otras cafeteras de goteo y entonces sucedió la magia, el café resultante es realmente delicioso. Yo uso el sistema de media jarra y esta se filtra en menos de 4 minutos. También me di cuenta que seguramente el secreto está en que la cafetera logra calentar el agua a una temperatura más adecuada a diferencia de otras cafeteras más baratas. Sin embargo también observo que el contacto del agua caliente con el café molido no es parejo, ya que el café que queda más alejada del chorro caliente no es tocada por el agua, de tal manera que siempre al inicio de la filtración muevo el café con una cuchara. Mi unica duda es, al ser tan rápida la filtración, no se estará desperdiciando una gran cantidad de café? Y una más, la caja dice Made in China y eso me preocupó, pero en la base de la máquina se confirma que es europea.

El producto venía dañado! es una pena que después de ver tantas opiniones de este excelente producto venga de esta manera. me dí la oportunidad de hacer un gasto tan grande y me llevo una gran desepcion. A veces lo caro sale muy malo ni hablar como decimos en México... va pa atrás! The product came damaged! It's a shame that after seeing so many reviews of this excellent product it comes this way. I gave myself the opportunity to make such a big expense and I am very disappointed.

これは販売者向けだが、電源プラグが3ピンタイプで変換プラグも付属していないので開封後すぐに使えなかった。変換プラグを別途購入する必要がある事を商品ページで記載するべだと思う。 機能自体は満足しているが保温機能があまり長続きしないのでステンレス版にすればよかったかもしれない。

I wish I could give this 10 stars. I am obsessed with my Moccamaster. I can't believe it took me this long to buy one. It's the Cadillac of coffee brewers. The GOAT. As someone who worked in the coffee industry for over a decade I can confidently assure you that this machine brews an absolutely superior cup of coffee. It's kind of like a cross between a pour-over and a drip machine, with the flavour of a pour-over and the convenience of a drip machine. The carefully calibrated heating system and water delivery means you won't burn your coffee resulting in bitterness or over-extraction. It also brews very quickly, and keeps the coffee warm until you need it. The Design itself is aesthetically pleasing, unlike other drip machines, and the quality of the craftsmanship is truly outstanding. Would make a great higher-end gift for a house-warming or a wedding, but also If you're thinking about switching to the Moccamaster for yourself just take my word for it and do it. You won't regret it!
