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

Had this delivered last night. Made a first pot to try it out last night and it was awesome. Made my second pot this morning and all I can say is... SUCK IT POD COFFEE! WE'RE THROUGH! This Moccamaster makes real coffee that does not taste synthetic. I tried Kuerig and Nesspresso machines for the last several years and just put up with them for the convenience. This time I bought a real coffee maker and even splurged for the Moccamaster coffee bean grinder. Doing coffee the right way from here on out. I really like the look and feel of both the coffee maker and grinder. It's a little bit more work to get a cup of coffee versus throwing a pod in a machine, but definitely worth the little bit extra effort and clean up. The Moccamaster and the bean grinder take up less space, they look cool, and they are kind of fun to use and a bit fascinating to watch. They are made fairly sturdy. I feel like I have graduated. I highly recommend Moccamaster!

Love this coffee make. Makes a great cup of coffee, looks great and is made well. Also very easy to clean as the various parts are easy to disassemble and put back together. It is a bit pricy but well made, easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee.

After considerable research I decided to purchase a Moccamaster. The coffee machine I replaced was a conventional drip maker that was inconsistent in taste and I was looking for something that provides a quality cup of coffee. I knew exactly what to expect when it arrived and wasn’t surprised by the plastic parts or anything associated with the build. A major plus for me is the longevity of the company and replacement parts which are readily available if necessary. It’s simple to clean and has a cool retro look. I like the fact that it’s no frills, I don’t need another device that connects via blue tooth or requires an app. Low tech is better in this instance. Now the most important part that in my opinion is necessary for a quality cup of coffee. It’s a tremendous difference when you grind your own beans. I was purchasing ground coffee from a specialty shop and it wasn’t working in the Moccamaster. The coffee was coming out too weak, didn’t have a smooth taste and the flavors were muted. Grinding the beans solves the issue and you get the full flavor of the bean. What works for me when brewing is starting the unit without the carafe and allowing water to drip just over the top of the grounds. I then pause the brew cycle by turning off the machine. I let the coffee bloom for 60 seconds lightly stir the grounds , replace the carafe and finish the brew cycle, Once brewed I then allow an additional 4 minutes of rest. The finished cup of coffee is the perfect temperature and there is no hint of bitterness or sour notes. It’s a great addition to the morning with a quality cup of coffee. Update: I was experiencing some unexpected inconsistencies with my coffee. I went back to the beginning and eliminated all possibilities related to what could be happening. As it turned out it was my old coffee mugs. The ceramic mug had degraded and cleaning was not possible. The stainless mugs were stained. Both scenarios when adding very hot coffee released an unpleasant taste. I completely cleaned the stainless mugs and purchased a new ceramic mug. Do yourself a favor and if you have old mugs get some new ones and if you have stainless mugs clean them. I found a tip that works. Drop a dishwasher detergent tablet in the mug and add boiling water. The results are quite incredible.

This review is for the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select. I am a craft coffee roaster...I roast my own coffee purchased from all over the world. I want a coffee brewer that does justice to the effort that I have put into buying and roasting my green coffee beans. If you're like me, you're not just wondering if the Moccamaster is a good coffee maker, but you are wondering if it is the one to buy...is it worth the money? With that in mind, I will talk about the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select and compare it to a competing coffee maker in hopes of being of assistance in making your decision; but I won't go into great detail so I'm not repeating marketing hype. The Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select is a really pretty machine. It looks just like it's pictured on Amazon. I bought the teal model. So, if you like the looks in the pictures, then you'll like the looks of the machine. It meets the SCAA gold cup standard for brewing, and so it does make very good coffee. It takes a standard #4 cone filter which are easy to find. It has a switch that can be set to either half pot or full pot (the primary reason I bought this particular model). The carafe is glass and it is thin; nothing wrong with that but don't dink it on the counter or the sink as it will likely crack. Having said that, I think that coffee brewed in glass tastes a tiny bit better....maybe. I can tell very little difference between coffee brewed in glass and that brewed in stainless. By all accounts, the internal working of the coffee maker are excellent and should be expected to last a long time. In short, it a good coffee making machine and it brews good coffee. Now the cons: The lid over the water reservoir and the lid over the coffee filter are both loose pieces. No big deal, but when you are filling the water and putting coffee in the filter, you have to kind of juggle those loose lids and find a place to put them on the counter that is out of the way. Not a deal breaker, but be aware that this adds just a bit of "busyness" to the coffee brewing process. Also, the power switch which initiates the brew keeps the hot plate on will stay on for like 100 minutes if you do not remember to turn it off, even if the carafe is not on the machine. I would think a machine of this quality would have some kind of sensor to turn the hot plate off if the carafe is not on the machine. One final note; I purchased my Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select during Prime days for $245 instead of the normal $349...the lowest price ever offered by Technivorm. I have always wanted a Moccamaster, but without that $104 savings? I would not have purhcased it. $349 is too much for a household coffee maker. For that matter, so is $245. I also own the OXO 9 Cup maker with a stainless thermal carafe. It is an attractive, modern looking machine. It also is a SCAA gold cup standard coffee brewer that can make a half or whole pot. The carafe is virtually indestructible and keeps a full pot of coffee very hot for a long time (1.5-2 hours). Both the water reservoir lid and filter housing lid are hinged permentantly to the machine so they are never in the way or taking up counter space. Are the internal working as highly engineered and constructed as those of the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select? Probably not. But, I've had my OXO for three years and it works flawlessly every time. OXO engineers their products well and I expect their machine to last a long time. The OXO does not have a hot plate so no issue like that of the Moccamaster. One neat thing it does do; it senses if the carafe is in place and if it is not in place you cannot brew. Nice safety/convenience feature, I think. Cons: none really, unless you consider a stainless carafe a con. I do not. There might be a miniscule difference in taste (one that cannot be quantified), but I cannot definitively say there is. I have been drinking my own roasts for the last three years brewed in the OXO. Every good roast has tasted good; every poor roast has tasted poor. But, that's on me the roaster....not on the brewer. At just about $200 full price, the OXO is a bargain compared to the Moccamaster. If you chose to buy the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select you've got a very good machine. If you pay $349 for it, I have to say that you spent a lot more money for a coffee brewer than you needed it. If you really want the Moccamaster, buy it and be proud of it. You'll like the coffee. If you want a very good coffee maker and you don't absolutely have to own a Moccamaster, be a better steward of your money and buy the OXO for about $200 or less. You won't be dissapointed with either brewer, but you might be disappointed with yourself for spending more than you need to for a good coffee maker. FYI: 1)The Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select is about 14" tall and the OXO is about 15"...if this matters to you. 2) I use the Melitta Bamboo #4 filters on both machines because they don't impart a papery taste to the coffee...IMO. Hope this help you!

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.

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.

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!
