Technivorm Moccamaster 79112 KBT Espresso Brewer, 40 oz, Polished Silver

Stylish and Efficient
I recently purchased the Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer, which has quickly become my kitchen’s favorite appliance. Here are some of the standout features that make this coffee brewer exceptional:Easy to UseFrom the moment I unpacked it, the Moccamaster was straightforward to set up and operate. The controls are intuitive, with a simple on/off switch and a selector for strength of brewing. There’s no need to navigate complicated settings or programs; it’s all about making great coffee efficiently.Easy to CleanCleaning this coffee maker is a breeze. The parts that come into contact with coffee grounds and water are easily accessible and removable. The filter basket slides out smoothly, and the insulated carafe has a wide opening, making it simple to wash by hand. Regular maintenance doesn’t feel like a chore, which is a big plus for daily use.Stylish on the CounterThe Moccamaster boasts a sleek and modern design that adds a touch of elegance to my countertop. Its clean lines and high-quality materials make it not just a functional appliance but also a stylish addition to the kitchen decor. It comes in various colors, allowing you to choose one that best matches your style.Carafe Keeps Coffee HotOne of the features I appreciate most is the carafe’s ability to keep coffee hot for an extended period. The thermal design ensures that the coffee stays at an optimal temperature without compromising flavor. This is perfect for those mornings when I want to enjoy multiple cups over time without brewing a fresh pot each time.ConclusionOverall, the Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer delivers on both performance and aesthetics. Its ease of use and cleaning make it convenient for daily brewing, while its stylish appearance enhances the kitchen space. The efficient carafe design keeps coffee hot and flavorful, making every cup enjoyable. I highly recommend this coffee maker to anyone seeking a reliable and elegant brewing experience.

Simple but Delicious
This drip coffee maker is exactly what it should be — straightforward, quick, and makes good coffee.I’ll reiterate what others have said about the “stop” switch on the filter basket: it’s great to be able to stop mid-brew and quickly pour yourself the first cup that comes out so you don’t have to wait for the entire pot to brew.That being said, it only takes ~5 minutes to brew a 10-cup pot, as the boiler heats quickly and gets right to work, so while some might complain about the lack of a timer, you can get your first cup in under 2 minutes, which is about as long as it takes for me to rummage around and find the cup I want anyway. (If you *really* need to get it going on a timer, get a smart plug that turns power on at a certain time and flip the machine’s switch before bed.)Stainless carafe is great, as you can brew a huge pot that doesn’t taste burnt or cold that you can drink all day.Pricey? Yes, wait for it to go on sale, and don’t bother unless you’ve got a decent grinder, since that’s half the battle.

We bought our moccamaster six months ago and are still loving it! We wanted to make a switch from the keurig so as to stop using all those coffee pods. Now we have a new routine with our coffee grinder and moccamaster side by side on the counter. At first I was tempted to buy a machine with lots of programmable features but, like others have said, fewer features mean less parts to break down. This machine makes a pot of coffee in 6 minutes or less. Once we found the right beans to grind and amounts to use, we now enjoy a perfect cup of coffee every time. The main thing about the moccamaster is that it heats the water up to the perfect temperature. The coffee in the carafe stays very hot for a few hours – but a pot made in the morning would only be warm, not hot, by afternoon. I have no issues with how it pours – you get to know how far to twist open the lid before pouring. I’ve never had it clog up. Works great every time. And I just love how it looks!

Before buying the Moccamaster, I had the Bona Vita coffee maker. While Bona Vita made good coffee it lacked the finish and body that one aspires from coffees at a mom and pop store. Thus eventually I returned the machine. And going through some positive reviews, I ended up buying the Mocamaster.Let me start with some sore points about the coffee maker:The plastics are light and cheap. The water container is also plastic due to which it might develop scratches over time.The thread of the carafe lid is “not so friendly” (this wasn’t a problem with Bona vita), will take time to adjust.The body is aluminum, not really stainless steel.Seems like the cup size is not standard in between the US and Europe. As 10 cups in Moccamster is equal to 8 cups of water in Bona Vita.The spoon provided is not an exact measure of perfect coffee. The measure varies depending on the type of coffee, ground size and water.Now the good part:After some trial and error, I think I got it right.Used Organica Zavida coffee from Costco.I poured 10 cups of water in Moccamaster.Set the ground level to 3 (from the start) and the number of cups to 8 in my Cuisinart coffee grinder.Seeped the coffee till the water level in Moccamaster went down to 6 cups (from 10 cups) and released the coffee.Results: Wow. The coffee had a nice body, tasted a bit buttery and had no bitter undertone. I was amazed, never thought the coffee could taste this good. I never experienced the flavor in Bona Vita. I will keep the machine and try different coffee beans :)UPDATE AFTER A MONTH: I was only able to get the optimum flavor twice in a month. I upgraded the coffee beans to kicking horse, filtered water and right kind of filter yet the flavor was quite mediocre. I ended up returning the unit and bought the Breville pour over coffee maker. Let’s see how it goes.
