Technivorm Moccamaster 53923 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker, Juniper, 40 ounce, 10-Cup, 1.25L

Top shelf coffee maker. Simple and straightforward.

Love this coffee maker – super fast, great coffee, and extremely simple. Looks great in my kitchen too!

I know, I know! These things aren't cheap. You can buy a nice coffee maker that will turn itself on before you get up in the morning for somewhere around a third the price, and it will be "pretty good." However, they tend to be difficult to clean (esp. the water tanks) and largely made of plastic with rubber pipes. There is plenty of plastic on the Moccamaster, too...but all very hi grade. Better, the internal "piping" is copper, and less prone to contamination from calcium deposits, etc. One factor with a lot of budget coffee makers is the difficulty of cleaning the water tank: mold can grow where it is damp and warm for extended periods: the Moccamaster's tank isn't easily;y removable, but it IS easily cleaned with a soft sponge (nice wide opening). What e have here is great engineering, incredible longevity (or so owner's say) and really great tasting coffee.

I only took a star off because I think the normal price is a little high for this. I feel like it should realistically be in the $250 range. You're paying for the name. Build quality is decent, but there was more plastic then I was expecting. It all does seem like its by design though and as long as your not throwing this thing on the ground very often, this thing should last you a good while before parts have to be replaced. It's a very simple machine.Other then that, this thing makes great coffee. That's it's whole purpose and it does it very well. It was an easy set up out of the box. The manual that comes with it gives you great info on the ratios you should use. Quality of the coffee is really going to come down to the freshness of your coffee. Grocery store bagged stuff is still going to taste like grocery store bagged stuff maybe slightly elevated. I can tell you that with fresh beans from a local shop, this thing shines.I normally do pour over with my Chemex (which I still love), but this thing provides close to the same results in half the time without the guess work. Perfect temp too. Chemex is still coming out on weekend mornings when I have time, but this baby is taking over for the work week. As I said previously, it's a very simple machine. There's no timer on it or anything on it so what I've done is I have this connected to a Govee smart plug, prep the night before and just have the plug scheduled to turn on at a certain time so my coffee is ready when I'm walking out the door. This has worked flawlessly.Although a bit overpriced, it so far has been living up the hype. We'll see how it holds up in the long run but I'm happy I purchased this.

I got the 53923 KBGV in green for 179.99 in Nov 2024 that retails for 359. It was the only color on sale at the time. Ridiculously easy to use and clean. It makes for a strong cup of coffee. I'm coming from a 20 dollar Proctor Silex drip and a Bodum French Press unit that I thought was good enough, until I made coffee with the Moccamaster. ALL the flavors come out. Don't know how to better describe it. I fill it up with filtered water slightly past the 4 cup mark and make sure only half pot button is on. It does the rest. I know there's people that say to mix the slurry, but I let it do it's thing. Perfection is what I got every single time. No doubt this is the last coffee maker I will ever buy.

The entire base was bent slightly and doesn't sit flat. I tried to return to Amazon and they asked me to contact the manufacturer first. It took over a week for a response from Techiworm. They claimed its "hand made" and things like this happen. They told me to go BACK to Amazon for a replacement. Amazon will not replace it and only return it. I bought it on a lighting sale and would have to pay the full price to get a new one. Techiworm would not help us or honor the warranty.I'm starting to think I was duped and they tried to send out broken ones on sale.

I love coffee - let’s start with that. In college I had a Keurig. Sure, fairly convenient for those bustling mornings to class. But let’s face it - the coffee product *sucks*. So I switched back to filter coffee with a Chemex, which I love, but sometimes I just don’t have the times in the morning to sit there and measure out the grams of water I’m pouring.I bought a Ninja Duelbrew pro. And honestly, made solid drip coffee for all of the features it had. That is, until the computer died *15 months* after purchase. Reminder - their warranty is 12 months. When I contacted them, they could not sell me parts, and sent me a “limited time offer” to buy a new one at the low low price of $159.99 + $25 shipping. Ha! Went to Reddit, realized this machine was legit, and bought it. It’s simple. It makes coffee. Good coffee. Really, really good coffee. And it looks gorgeous. It’s a simple machine that perfects brewing drip coffee. Two mechanical switches, and a bunch of copper heating elements. That’s it. No computers to break, no fancy gizmos. As an engineer, sometimes gizmos are fun, but what’s more fun is something engineered to near perfection. That’s what this coffee maker is.Pro tip — if you want this machine but think you’ll miss having one that you can set up at night to brew in the morning, just buy a $12 smart plug. I use a smart plug with this, and am able to get everything laid out the morning before. Using apple home, I have it turn on at whatever time I want, with the coffee and water already filled. And boom - great coffee, at the time I need it. Sure, it’s not as *fancy* to grind your beans the night before. But hey, it still tastes delicious, and is the best tasting coffee I’ve been able to produce from home.So just buy it. It’s a coffee machine with a 5 year warranty, where else can you find that? Most catchy name machines are designed to last 1-2 years and be thrown away. Do yourself, and the environment, a favor and buy a machine that could last years and years to come. It’s worth every penny
