Moccamaster 53949 KBGV Select Coffee Maker, Stone Grey, 40 ounce, 10-Cup, 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.

I thought I made a decent cup of pour over coffee. I thought so until I had my first cup from this incredible machine! It’s incredibly smooth and delicious. I don’t have time for manual pour over in the morning but didn’t want cheap drip coffee. This maker fits the bill! So quick and easy to use. The price was my holdout for a while but I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I’m the only coffee drinker in my house and I make just one cup per day. It’s below the recommended 4 cup minimum but it seems to be working out just fine. The single cup maker doesn’t have the amazing reviews that this model does so I’m glad I chose this one. Very happy with it!

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!

A stylish coffee maker that truly makes the perfect cup of Joe. With its easy to use system the moccamaster has made my mornings so smooth. I like prepping the coffee the night before so all I have to do in the morning is flip a switch and boom the perfect hot temp of coffee is ready to go. All the mechanisms are easy to clean and well made. The hot plate under the carafe stays on for 90 mins which is perfect for when you are ready for your second cup and to be honest it stays hot for longer than that.

This Technivorm model has been a great addition to our kitchen and brews a no-frills pot of coffee well. If you are looking for something that offers specialty features than this is most definitely not for you. The immediate pros are the aesthetics. It has a classic appearance with many color options. Also, it's fairly simple to operate and is basically "dummy" proof. The most important part is that it dispenses hot water from the arm at around 200 degrees which I confirmed and is said to be the ideal temperature it should be functioning at. The cons are the gap from the basket arm to the pot. There is very little room, so I often find myself scraping the lid or bottom of the pot. This isn't as bad as it sounds but it's fairly odd and could use another quarter of an inch gap spacing. I'd also like the coffee pot spout to be a bit more pronounced and the water reservoir to be a bit larger as well. Overall, I'm nitpicking and I'm very happy. I've owned OXO and a few Ninjas over the last 5+ years and they all leaked so badly that I ended up tossing them. Constantly cleaning up water on the device or counters is a dealbreaker. Finding a drip coffee maker that doesn't leak is far and away more difficult than I would have thought. This does not (so far) but I will add that the regular price seems a bit steep. This should be in the $250-$275 range which is what I purchased it for on BF. Unfortunately, there's a lot of plastic and it seems flimsy out of the box. I just don't see the price point being reasonable but maybe it is if all $200+ coffee makers I've tried have had issues. If this makes it beyond 5 years than I'll be very happy. There is a long history of satisfied customers, so I expect nothing less.

Hands down the best coffee maker I’ve owned. Quality construction, handmade in the Netherlands. Water heats quickly and “bubbles up” from the boiler through a clear plastic tube and is very cool to watch. Coffee is smooth, flavorful, and piping hot! Makes ANY coffee taste better. Very easy to set-up and use. Carafe is thin glass so be careful. Worth every penny. Wish I had purchased one years ago. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Le café à la bonne chaleur, les composants des pièces sont vraiment de bonne qualité . Le goût du café est exceptionnel, rien de comparable à celui d’avant. Très belle achat! Je Vous le recommande!

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.

No solo es bonita, veloz y fácil de usar. Lo más importantes es el excelente café que se obtiene.

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!
