Technivorm Moccamaster 53923 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker- Juniper

what our customer say this product:

1. Kayla reed Verified Buyer – 1 March 2024

   I completed a lot of research looking for a coffee maker that lasted a long time, didn’t start burning the coffee, easy to clean and more. I love the unique look of this maker, the ease in cleaning and fit perfectly in limited space. I love that it has not started to burn the coffee so today it tasted just as delicious as the day i got it. This is a well made coffee maker except two things the lid to the pot comes off way to easily and sometimes the pot gets stuck on the warmer from the meeting point of the pot lid and the dispenser.

   This coffee machine was an upgrade to our Cuisinart which we love. The machine works great so far and is beautiful. Had to deduct one star because it’s missing the automatic drip basket part catcher. Luckily it was available for purchase on the website for $4.00.

   

3. Shopaholic Verified Buyer – 6 March 2024

   I have been roasting my own coffee beans for the last 4 years. I really preferred pour over coffee over anything until I found this Moccamaster. Does a great job and is good as my previous pour over without standing over the funnel and adding water to make a cup of coffee. The brewing temperature is spot on. In 6 to 8 minutes I have 10 cups. The brewing speed is fantastic. Yes the price tag is high but worth it considering the Warranty and quality build. I did purchase a used unit at a much lower price and was surprised that it was never used. All the packaging was undisturbed. Someone must have had buyers remorse due to the price tag. Thank you whoever returned it. If you use Maxwell House or Folgers don’t waste your money. This coffee machine is for GOOD COFFEE. The fresher the coffee the better. That is why I roast my own beans. Very simple to do with a coffee roaster. You might consider getting one and you can get green beans from online stores like Burman Coffee. Try coffee from all over the world and roast it from light to espresso. You won’t regret it with this Moccamaster.

   

4. Chad Verified Buyer – 10 March 2024

   The coffee maker arrived pretty well packaged. Some assembly was required, but it was pretty simple. I ran it a couple of times with filtered water to clean out dust or stuff left behind in the manufacturing process, then I decided to make my first pot of coffee on it. I don’t have a scale to measure out the exact amount of coffee to use, so I followed the instructions which said 7 scoops for 10 cups of coffee. This turned out to be a little too much, my coffee came out way too strong. But it smelled and tasted better than any coffee I’d ever had on my Cuisinart brewer. I love the aesthetics of the Moccamaster, it’s kind of retro. It all feels very sturdy, even the plastic has a solid feel to it, nothing feels loose or out of place. It’s smaller than I’d expected, but that’s not a bad thing. Honestly, so far I’m pretty impressed. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re okay spending a lot of money on a well built coffee maker with a great reputation.
   

5. Trip Verified Buyer – 15 March 2024

   I got rid of my Breville Brewmaster Precision Brewer and replaced it with the Moccamaster KBGV Select. I couldn’t be happier. First and foremost the brewmaster allowed for setting the temp but never made a cup hotter than 136 degrees unless you brewed a half carafe or more (approx, 32 ounces). Granted, the Brewmaster is bigger but what is the point of having a temp setting if it doesn’t work. I wasted a ton of coffee just to get something hot (and no, the microwave ruins the coffee). This beautiful unit however can brew a single cup at a piping 186 degrees within 4 minutes; and it tastes great! The only downside is that you have no control over the bloom. Basically blooming is soaking the beans for a set amount of time before releasing to the carafe. I typically bloom for about 30 seconds. But here is a trick, start the brew before putting the carafe under the maker and you have a poor man’s bloom! I never wait long enough to have it overflow over the top. This is pretty much unnecessary on this coffee pot as the coffee comes out great every time. Finally I have found a simple coffee pot that simply does what it was designed for without over architecting needless technology or any gimmicks. Some other tips: Never put tap water into these machines. Use distilled water and you will rarely if ever have to descale the unit. If you grind your own beans you can simply set the grinder to a set time for the measure. No need to use the spoon or anything. Everybody has a favorite coffee roaster. I stumbled upon Two Brothers out of Chicago and they have a consist process that gives me exactly what I am looking for in coffee. I use other brands for espresso. Enjoy your coffee!!!

   

6. Norma Verified Buyer – 3 April 2024

   I’ve owned a Technivorm Moccamaster 10 cup Coffee Maker for over 15 years. It was the KB brewer. It’s been the best coffeemaker that I’ve ever bought. And I’ve bought many other coffee maker brands since 1982. None of them compared. I realized it was time to replace it. It was still brewing my coffee ( My favorite Peet’s Major Dickinson brand), but it was looking dated. I decided during coffeemakers.us.com Prime Day to see if I could replace it with a newer version. Yay, coffeemakers.us.com had the KBGV on sale. I saved a $100.00 on prime day sale. I’m very happy with it. It has some features that I my older coffee maker didn’t have. I purchased the Polished Silver color. I highly recommend Technivorm Moccamaster for coffee aficionados.

   

7. hecwords Verified Buyer – 12 July 2024

   I’ve used a Cuisinart and Mr. Coffee over the years, as well as Melita and Chemex. The Moccamaster, which I bought 3 weeks ago, makes hands down the best drip coffee I’ve ever had (& that includes drip coffee at Starbucks and Pete’s). I like it better than Chemex—& it’s easier to use than Chemex. Remember, this is drip coffee —it has a different taste than French press or espresso or those nasty pod machines. Moccamaster does one thing only—it makes excellent drip coffee. Other reviewers dinged this machine for arriving with a chipped heating plate &/or were disappointed in the thickness of the glass carafe. My Moccamaster Select arrived in perfect condition. And I found the glass carafe to be pretty much no different (in terms of thickness/quality) than other carafes with other coffee makers —it even Chemex. This is an expensive machine. I thought about buying it for a long time & read lots of reviews. I’m very glad I purchased it, & I’m enjoying it very much every day.

   

8. Destiny Verified Buyer – 29 July 2024

   Package arrived in manufacturer box, no additional box with padded packaging. Upon opening the box we noticed the hot plate was chipped off, with the black shards in the box. For the price, this thing should be packed a little better. Returning. Hope the next one arrives intact!

   

9. Kathryn Magendie Verified Buyer – 19 August 2024

   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!
   

10. Patrick kennedy Verified Buyer – 21 August 2024

    I really liked the rich smooth flavor this Moccamaster brewed for me. My Kcups were bitter and even tasted like insect killer sometimes. I now can have a fresh brewed cup of coffee that tastes better than that big chain coffee shop anytime I want without leaving my house.

    

11. Motorhead Verified Buyer – 11 October 2024

    I looked for some time for a coffee maker. This coffee maker is perfect. It makes a delicious, satisfying cup of coffee. I can’t state that strong enough, I am completely happy with it. It’s aesthetically pleasing, quiet, and quick without compromising an ounce of quality. Love it!

    

12. Patrick Verified Buyer – 11 November 2024

    I really wanted to like this coffee maker. It has such a pretty industrial style, the packaging it comes in is littered with accolades and awards, suggesting a premium experience. The fact of the matter is that the build quality on this thing is profoundly shoddy. Looking at it online, it seems worth the price tag, but actually touching the thing you get the feeling that paying $50 bucks for it would be a ripoff. It’s made mostly of light, thin, cheap-feeling plastic, and pieces lay on top of each other delicately instead of clicking into place at any sort tolerance. Bumping into the coffee maker causes the lid to clatter off, the filter basked to fall out, and the spout (which, bizarrely, is just barely held on by a rubber gasket) to tumble onto the floor. The glass pitcher scrapes into place with a deeply uncomfortable “fingers-on-a-chalkboard” crunch. Coffee filters tend to get sloshed over sideways, resulting in weak coffee. There are no features to speak of, nothing besides a toggle to turn it on and another toggle that seems to do nothing at all. The entire thing feels incredibly cheap to use, and I regret spending my money on it. Don’t buy it!! Do some research and get a slightly uglier, much more effective coffee pot!

    

13. Michael D. Verified Buyer – 10 December 2024

    The number one reason for a coffeemaker is to make coffee. And to make GOOD coffee. This does that in spades! It makes a great cup of coffee, at the right temperature. This is important, as I can notice that it works well in bringing out notes on the coffee grind that my previous coffeemaker was unable to do. I can really taste the coffee and each new type of bean is a new, wonderful activity to look forward to. Knowing that I’ll get a good flavor profile that I had been lacking. I wish I bought this sooner. Oh, it’s also really easy to clean – which is a nice bonus.

    

14. Bryan W. Steffy Verified Buyer – 24 January 2025

    I ask myself, what does a cup of coffee from a near $400 coffee maker taste like? Is it better than a $20 Mr coffee coffee maker? There’s videos and reviews across the internet from “experts” who swear by this machine, I need to know for myself. Well, prime day discount made it closer to acceptable. Love the color options, finally settled on midnight blue. But let’s start with the gripes. For that price the water reservoir being plastic is sadly disappointing. And like everyone else who reviews these machines, the plastic bits are cheap and the carafe feels dainty, like a fragile toy. These things are disappointing. I literally sat by the door waiting for this to be delivered and I ripped it out of the box, set it up and fired up my first cup of joe from a very expensive luxury coffee maker. I even broke out some fancy crackers for the affair. I used the same beans, same grind, same amounts, same water, same cup, same creamer and sweetener, just like I do everyday and what I found was the coffe brewed in this tasted better. It tasted like coffee, not burnt, less acidic and I couldn’t be happier. It looks awesome, no buzzers, bells or computers, just flip the button and in near silent hyper speed, coffee. The pluses far out weigh the cheapy plastic bits and carafe. (You can see it right next to my old coffee maker in the pics). A+++.

16. Karri Verified Buyer – 28 January 2025

    I am very happy with this coffee maker, easy to use and makes great smooth coffee. It has taken a few tries to figure out the coffee beans I like best, honestly makes even the pre- ground bags taste great! I bought this because it has a simple design, long warranty and easily replaceable parts. I hope it treats me well!

    

17. Jacey Verified Buyer – 2 February 2025

    Well, it is better than sub $40 coffee maker, that is certain, but it doesn’t make “delicious” coffee. Coffees I had with a Ninja coffee maker tasted better, with the exact same set up. It is prettier to look at, it is easier to use, and the coffee does taste okay, under one condition thou; You need to turn off the heating pad immediately after finishing brewing. Otherwise the heating will “cook” the coffee, and it will start to taste bitter real fast.

    

18. Russell Verified Buyer – 2 February 2025

    Worth every penny, pour over quality coffee, coffee maker is handmade and made with quality parts which and be replaced if needed.

    

19. Healthycookie Verified Buyer – 3 February 2025

    This is the best coffee pot I’ve ever had! I’ve been looking for a coffee pot that had no plastic. But none to be found except an industrial home version with a metal basket. Not exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been researching for few weeks and found this pot. The plastic that they use are BPA, BPS, BPF and phthalate-free plastic. It had better quality plastic than any other ones that I’ve I seen out there. I was also looking for one that made really good coffee. And this pot does that. It makes a clean and smooth coffee. It keeps the coffee hot. Which I saw a review that said it dosen’t but it does. After having coffee from this pot, I don’t want to go get coffee from a Starbucks or any other place. They won’t taste as good as mine! I really mean that. It’s amazing! Plus I started grinding my own coffee before making a pot. That makes a difference also. This big purchase was worth every dollar and then some!

    

20. Juice Freak Verified Buyer – 25 February 2025

    Brews a good cup of coffee, but the warming plate chipped badly within a few months. This happened spontaneously from once-daily use. They were more than willing to service it under warranty but I had to ship it (at their expense) to their service center, meaning I had to find a box and packing materials. A fitted box for something this expensive would be more appropriate. Most importantly, I was left without a coffee maker while it was being serviced. To be honest, I am very surprised that they didn’t just replace the unit as it seems kind of strange to leave someone who paid that much for a coffeemaker without a way to make coffee. When factoring in the expense of the maker, how quickly it broke, the general cheap feel of many of the pieces, and the inconvenience of the service process, I probably would not buy another one or recommend to other people. I’m mostly banking that replacement parts will be easy to find once it is out of warranty.

    

21. india Verified Buyer – 1 March 2025

    I absolutely LOVE this coffee pot. It brews fast and makes some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. I would recommend changing the ratio of coffee to water if you don’t want it as strong.

    

22. Chardo Verified Buyer – 1 March 2025

    First, let me say I looked at a few colors first before settling on Stone Grey. I was originally leaning towards matte silver, but it honestly didn’t look as rich and impressive as I thought it would and then polished silver looked good, but not ‘distinctive’. So I ordered the Stone Grey and it looks SO good – it has a unique ‘crinkle’ metallic finish to it, making it look very rich but the color is also timeless. I have a good Breville burr grinder and got some good coffee and set it for a more coarse setting as recommended. The coffee came out really good, but immediately before brewing my first cup, I noticed some quirks that are worth mentioning: – you can not remove the water canister and fill it up – you have to bring the water to it – it will brew 100% of the water in the water canister (ie. you can’t fill it up and brew 2 cups or 4 cups or anything; it will brew 100% of whatever water is in the canister, so fill it up carefully) – that’s the biggest drawback I personally have so far – the cups are European cups (like most coffee makers) – ie. 1 cup is 4oz. So a 16 oz travel mug is “4 cups” – it is MUCH lighter than I expected (not good or bad, just unexpected) – plastics are cheap (just being honest – they are shiny and cheap) – glass carafe is crazy thin and light (worried it will break over time, but we’ll see) – there are only two switches – on/off (with an auto-off) and 1/2 or full pot. That’s it. No timer, no program function, etc. In other words, it does one thing and it does it well as there are really no other features to speak of, other than things behind the scenes that just work (hand built, quality materials other than the plastics, proper temperature, proper dosing, etc.) I don’t regret my purchase after my terrible experience with Breville Grind ‘n Brew that stopped working in less than 2-years for a similar cost.

    

23. Spencer Verified Buyer – 2 March 2025

    tldr: This is the best coffee pot I’ve ever owned. Many reviews say the parts are cheap and plastic-y, they are plastic, but they don’t feel cheap to me. Every part feels necessary, and minimal. I love how simple the functionality is, two switches, that’s it. The water wand is convenient and doesn’t leak at all. Most importantly, it makes great coffee. Perfect temp, perfect consistency and ground saturation, and the hot plate doesn’t burn it if you leave it on. If this thing holds up for a couple years, I will be super pleased and probably buy another, perhaps a new color! So happy and relieved this thing lived up to my expectations.

    

24. 2DogNight Verified Buyer – 3 March 2025

    My first Moccamaster half pot—16 oz.water, which yields two cups of coffee —was disappointing. Brew time was too long because grind wasn’t coarse enough. Flavor was sharp, unpleasant. So after adjusting the grind, the second half pot was very good. I also checked the actual temp in the brew basket, 196.8°, which is acceptable for 3400 ft elevation. I am pleased with my purchase and glad for the YouTube vids that explain how grind size and brew temp affect the flavor of drip coffee. Bean quality is only one element in the equation. Also I was hesitant to buy this one because the color in the listing did not appeal to me, but none of the other colors did either. If I settled for a silver or white model, I would pay an extra $40. So I settled for this “rose gold” model and saved $40 to spend on coffee beans. So glad I did! The color is beautiful in my house; it has a lovely warm glow, not the cold, flat color in the listing photo.

    

25. Lindsay Verified Buyer – 3 March 2025

    My coffee habits over the years have either been a single serve Keurig pod or the lengthier pourover with my gooseneck kettle and ceramic V60. I am so happy to have found the Moccamaster – this is the best way to get a lazy pourover easily on the daily. It looks great in my kitchen, but I do wish the plastic elements were a little more robust. Easy to use, clean, and maintain. I love it!

    

26. Kindle Customer Verified Buyer – 8 March 2025

    Yes it’s a tiny bit more work than a cheap coffee maker but it’s so worth it. Making coffee feels like a ritual now and the results are delish.

    

27. RGC Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    Excellent!! The first one I ordered came and looked like it was used for 10 year’s, I sent it back right away. The second one came it was exactly what I was looking for. If you use fresh coffee you will truly notice a difference in your morning cup. My wife and I could not be more pleased with this purchase!!

    Expensive but worth it for hand built quality! Makes great coffee and looks amazing! I decided to buy this after a lot of research. Most reviews have all positive things to say about everything except for the price. I’m fine with splurging every once and a while for better quality appliances especially if it is something that I will use everyday. Comes with a five year warranty!

    

30. Casey W. Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    I love my coffee in the mornings, after going through Bunn Coffee makers an Keurig machines, I wanted something simple an wanted that pour over experience without the wait , I found it, Also note this is handmade in the Netherlands an the design has not change since 1964 , that tells me that it was though out right an why millions are sold throughout the world. Don’t wait buy one, also mention 5 yr warranty and replaceable parts

    

31. Jonathan Livers Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    Not sure I would have bought it if it wasn’t for my wife’s birthday and the prime day was discount. There is a cool factor but Im not barista and I can’t tell much difference between this and a 15$ coffee maker. But my wife wanted a gold/brass one and there aren’t a lot of options out there.

    

32. JKP Verified Buyer – 9 March 2025

    Makes a nice cup of coffee but not sure it’s worth the extra expense of the machine for the flavor alone. I like dark roast coffee and I’m not sure I have the palate of some of the coffee officionados out there. However it is an attractive machine on my countertop and I enjoy using it. I was using a chemex for years and grew tired of spending the extra time in the morning with the pour over process. I now use a Bluetooth timer switch and have my coffee ready for me when I wake up. I also experienced the overflow problems that some other people have complained about from the machine. The fix for this is folding over the bottom and the side of the number 4 filters where they’re crimped I’ve been doing this and haven’t had a problem since. I have included some pictures of this with this review.

    

33. Mike Verified Buyer – 20 March 2025

    I have had a lot of coffee makers in my time but this is one nice coffee maker. Really nice color and finish on this coffee machine. They do an exceptional job on these. Okay, how does it perform? Great!! Super fast. Set my grinder, put exceptional beans in the grinder (from Atlis Coffee Club) flavor was medium Rwanda coffee with notes of grape, red apple, roasted almond. Delicious on the first shot. Simple to set up like 2 minutes, put some third wave water in and flipped the switch. Super easy! Great coffee machine especially for the Black Friday price.

    

34. Lizzette saenz Verified Buyer – 1 April 2025

    Was expecting a quality and durable coffee machine for the price. The plastic parts of the machine seem very flimsy. Upon unboxing there was a giant chip in the heating plate and the measuring spoon was broken. The coffee itself doesn’t seem substantially different than the cup of brew our $20 coffee maker produced. Over wasn’t what we were expecting.

    

35. Anonymous Verified Buyer – 4 April 2025

    I’ve only had this coffee maker a week, so take what you can from that. But, so far, so good! Easy to set-up. Within 2 days I had the coffee adjusted to where I like it far as taste goes. Performs flawlessly, is quiet, fast, looks good and the coffee is not only flavorful, but HOT. I really like that about it. I’m used to pre-heating my coffee cup so the coffee doesn’t cool off too fast, but not even sure that’s necessary with this coffee maker. It is the perfect temp to brew good coffee and keep it hot all the way to the bottom of the mug. It’s easy to clean and I love the “retro” look. The genius is in its simplicity…easy to adjust for any type of coffee you like. Zero issues or complaints…I’ll come back and add if I need to, but love it so far. UPDATE. I’ve had this coffee maker for a little over a month now. I love it more now, than I did when I first got it. It continues to amaze me how good the coffee is! It has to make the smoothest coffee I’ve ever had the pleasure of drinking. I even bought a grinder. I went into it not expecting much of a difference, but boy was I wrong. The coffee is even more flavorful! I”m thinking of buying a second one, just to have on hand, in case something goes wrong in the future, but since you can purchase most or all of the parts you might need, not really necessary.

37. Carl Verified Buyer – 5 April 2025

    Easy to use, easy to clean and makes great hot coffee very rapidly. We enjoy the simplicity of the unit, it’s all optimized to deliver great tasting hot coffee, so no need for various nobs that we would never use in any case. We also appreciate the absence of a clock which in many other coffee makers only servers to add un-needed light to the kitchen. We make coffee every morning for two (with 2 regular cups each) in under 5 minutes. For 4 or more people, you’ll probably need to make two pots. A consideration if you need large volumes of coffee on a regular basis. The makers have put a lot of attention to many details to the coffee maker including reducing the noise it generates (although it make coffee very rapidly, this is the most quiet brewing machine that we have ever seen). The absence of styrofoam in the environmenally friendly packaging was also nice to see. Yes it is expensive but it’s a great machine with a 5 year garantee that we have found is well worth the cost for a great cup of coffee.

    When my Bonavita suddenly wouldn’t turn on recently, Black Friday was approaching so I decided to take the plunge and treat myself to my first Technivorm machine. The machine itself actually has a beautiful paint job on it, though I didn’t opt for any of the standout pastels or candy apple. The coffee brown tone is beautiful. The machine itself appears to be very well made and solid, but I am surprised at how thin and flimsy the plastic pieces appear to me. That makes no sense for a machine that retails for over $300. Even the carafe feels cheap but works well (and doesn’t drip like my stainless steel Bonavita did from day one.) Now does that affect my excitement about the machine? Absolutely not. I bought it to make coffee and I’ve never had a better cup of coffee than what this machine produces. I grind my beans first and use filtered water and it’s as simple as that. The temperature is HOT and I no longer need to warm it in the microwave. I LOVE this machine. I can’t imagine there’s a drip machine out there that makes better tasting coffee. I’m now a loyal customer.

    $350 for a coffeemaker is, well, silly. But I did it anyway. After years of weak pod coffee, then a few months of literal coffee flavored water from a “top brand” electric percolator, I was just done. All I wanted was a simple, good cup of coffee. No unnecessary tech to go wrong, no dumb “smart” tech, just a good cup of coffee. So, I did the unthinkable and bought the technivorm. The clinchers were it’s simplistic design, the fact that it has the least amount of plastic that comes into contact with the hot water or coffee (though it still has A LOT of plastic, much to my chagrin) and it’s made in The Netherlands, NOT CHINA. So, does it make a good cup of coffee? Yes! But boy is it strong for my now ridiculously unrefined palate. So many years of weak coffee made me forget what real coffee tasted like. It’s good, but will take time for me to adjust to. Or you could just lessen the amount of grounds used. I’ll probably do that. My biggest beef? The carafe. It is every bit as fragile feeling as all the reviews state. I’m thinking I should have gotten the thermal carafe instead. Plus, after using only twice, tiny little cracks in the lip of the pour spout have formed (see pic). I will contact technivorm for a replacement as truly, this IS indeed unacceptable for a $350 coffee maker. I will update if/when I hear back.

    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.
