Technivorm Moccamaster 53942 KBGV 10-Cup Coffee Maker Yellow Pepper, 40 Ounce, 1.25l

Excellent coffee machine. Appears slightly fragile, but after some use, it is actually very sturdy and well made. I'm not too particular about coffee, but this does make a quick and tasty pot of coffee. Looks great, performs great, simple to use with no silly options that most will never use. Get one, if you feel like spending a lot of money. You will be satisfied.

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.

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.

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!

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!
