“[…] The coffee that this machine produces is perfectly on the line of strong and smooth. There is no bitter aftertaste or watery coffee just perfectly brewed coffee and exactly the correct temperature. Many years ago a friend of mine who owns a couple of McDonald’s told me that the secret is in the temperature and the grind. He was correct, this machine uses copper coils to properly heat water to exactly the right temperature which then cools as it passes through the grinds. What you get is perhaps the best tasting coffee money can buy. As I leave all of my Amazon reviews, I will simply state that if you don’t believe me or if all of the reviews have convinced you, give it a shot… If you don’t like it this is a prime item and Amazon will take it back no questions asked. You literally have nothing to lose. […]” ― Dan Miller
“[…] As an engineer, I appreciate designs that anticipate the need for preventive maintenance as well as repair. The Moccamaster is easily disassembled for cleaning, and easy disassembly also means easy repair. Removable parts fit together with simple, clean interlocks, gravity, and (in one case) friction, and the friction fit drip nozzle arm is metal-to-silicone, not cheap plastic. After months of heavy use, I can see no signs of wear, nor is it becoming loose or sloppy. The coffee tastes great. I would not consider myself a coffee scholar, but I know what I like, and I care enough to purchase whole-bean coffee from a local roaster and to grind each day’s coffee fresh in the morning, not in batches. Insulated thermal carafe, rather than an actively warmed pot, is the ONLY way to go if you care about coffee flavor, unless you are sharing with others and will drink a whole pot in a short time. Coffee that is continuously heated after brewing will rapidly acquire a stale, burned taste. It’s vile! […]” ―Scott
“Yes, it makes a masterful cup of coffee. Comments from others included the difficulty in pouring from the carafe. The company listened, and the carafe I received has a shaped lip that is easy to pour from. The lack of the built-in timer would have been a dealbreaker for me, except… Other reviewers told how they adapted it to use a Wi-Fi controlled plug. So that is the route that I followed using this Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, UL Certified. I have it set up so that when I put my feet on the floor in the morning, I ask She Who to turn the coffee on. By the time I get my bathrobe and reach the kitchen, the coffee is almost finished brewing. With the convenient, drip stop, I can pour a cup immediately. I have two silly complaints: first, the coffee is too hot for me to drink so I have to put an ice cube in it. This means that it’s perfect in the thermos by lunchtime. My other problem is getting the lid of the thermos open, because the vacuum seal is so superb. So, if you like real coffee, can manage the installation of a smart plug and can break the seal on a tight thermos, this is the coffee maker for you. One final note: I am now having to buy better coffee beans, because I can tell the difference!” ―Raven
“When my Behmor coffee maker gave up the ghost this year we decided to look at a different brand. We found this one and it had the features we liked. When we unpacked, cleaned it and used it we were convinced it made a darn good cup of coffee. Filling the reservoir and filling grounds is very easy. The parts are very easy to clean and it produces a little more coffee, at 12 cups, than Behmor which only gave us 10 cups. We work from home so coffee much of the work day is important. We read the comments before we purchased and one person said something about making sure the filter is all the down in the grounds holder otherwise the coffee may overflow before it gets to the carafe. We only had this happen once but we keep the coffee maker in a tray anyway because had issues with overflowing with our last coffee maker. The carafe is glass lined and so we don’t have to worry about burning the carafe and the carafe is so efficient the coffee stays hot for hours. It’s actually warm in the morning.” ―Love to read
“We bought this machine because our kids bought one while living in the Netherlands. It brewed such good tasting, clean cup of coffee. It brews a 10 cup pot within 5 minutes. It has a great bloom and no spilage! It also looks good on our counter! It’s a bit pricey but of you are fussy about your coffee, don’t go to Starbucks, but this machine! I guarantee you’ll love this brewer!” ―plumbermann
