Moccamaster 53944 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker, Candy Apple Red, 40 ounce, 1.25l

Our grind and brew machine died on us and so we started using a French press and/or Areo press. Both options worked fine, but I like to make a pot in the morning so my wife can have a cup, and I can take the rest to work in a thermos.I started watching reviews on drip coffee makers and came across this unit. Everything about it was appealing.-THE LOOK- Aesthetically, it's stunning. Timeless, classic look. It's very clean, the textured finish looks very durable, doesn't finger print, and the color choices are excellent. (I wanted the pistachio color but once I pulled the trigger couldn't wait for it to be shipped so opted for my second choice). While brewing it looks neat as the water bubbles up the center column and into the outlet.-THE BREWING OPTIONS- Very basic controls, but the half pot select allows you to not only brew a half pot, but modifies blooming duration. From there the sky is the limit with grind options and strength without all the buttons and programming. It's also pretty fast- full pot in 6 minutes.-THE TASTE- I've had it 5 days and have made 7-8 pots... It's the best tasting coffee (obviously the beans, grind and everything can make the difference... but when I have a Tim Hortons or Starbucks it's just not the same) and I drink black coffee.-THE DESIGN- If it ain't broke... this design has been around for 50 years and is hand made in the Netherlands and comes with a 5 year warranty. It's not ground breaking but that's the point. Keep it simple. Quality parts, copper heating element, and separate elements for water heating and the carafe. The removable water outlet arm is a nice touch if it gets a fingerprint on it or if your need to clean- simply pop off.-THE PRICE- Ok, so this is super expensive for "just a coffee brewer" but personally I'd rather spend big money on a quality piece that has service able parts, rather than a machine 1/3 the price that may only last 2-4 years. This is a lifetime machine if cared for. Personally I drink at least 3 large black coffees/ day. Starbucks dark roast black is $4.00 CAD. It'll pay for itself in no time.-THE ONLY NEGATIVE- The glass carafe seems really fragile and thin. I'm paranoid it will break. I do not allow anyone to operate my machine as I'm scared they wouldn't be as careful as I when I rinse it.So if you buy pre ground coffee and want an easy pot of coffee, or like to grind fresh and experiment in grams per liter, ground size etc... but must have the best- buy this.

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.

After using the Moccamaster 53928 KBGV for a while, I can honestly say this is the best coffee maker I've ever owned. I've had plenty of drip coffee makers over the years, ranging from inexpensive models to premium brands, but none have consistently brewed coffee as well as this one.I usually buy my coffee from an outstanding local roaster because I enjoy freshly roasted, high-quality beans. The Moccamaster brings out flavors I honestly didn't know were there. The coffee is rich, smooth, perfectly balanced, and never tastes bitter. Every morning feels like I'm drinking coffee from a great café.What completely convinced me that this machine is something special happened by accident.One weekend I ran out of my favorite coffee and didn't want to drive into town, so I stopped at a convenience store and bought a bag of a well-known budget coffee brand. It's the kind of coffee you buy because it's available—not because it's exceptional. I brewed it in the Moccamaster while friends were visiting. Several people commented that the coffee tasted much better than they remembered that brand ever tasting. One even asked if I had mixed it with another coffee because it was so smooth.That's when I realized what this brewer really does. Great coffee becomes outstanding, but even average coffee becomes genuinely enjoyable. The precise brewing temperature and extraction make an incredible difference. This machine gets everything possible out of the beans without over-extracting them.Like many reviewers, I had one concern when I first opened the box. For a coffee maker in this price range, I initially thought there was more plastic than I expected. After using it, though, I completely changed my opinion. The plastic is thick, well-made, and clearly chosen for function and durability. It doesn't feel cheap, and after daily use, I appreciate that the design is focused on brewing performance rather than unnecessary bells and whistles.I also appreciate that the Moccamaster is refreshingly simple. There are no touchscreens, apps, Wi-Fi connections, or dozens of settings to fail over time. You add water, grind quality beans, press the switch, and a few minutes later you have one of the best cups of coffee you've ever tasted. Sometimes simplicity really is the ultimate sophistication.If you're wondering whether the higher price is justified, my answer is absolutely yes. The Moccamaster isn't expensive because it's flashy—it's expensive because it consistently does one thing exceptionally well: it brews outstanding coffee.I've reached the point where I judge coffee makers by one simple question: Does it make me look forward to my first cup every morning? The Moccamaster does that every single day.If you're serious about coffee, I don't think you'll regret buying this machine. It's one of those rare products that actually lives up to its reputation.

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。
