I’ve had my Moccamaster for more than 12 years. Only had 1 issue 7+ years. Sent it to Technivorm and they fixed/refurbished for $80 and still works like new every morning. Costs more but worth every penny.
moccamaster does make a great coffee. not that starbucks is great coffee for all, but with the moccamaster with the right ground size and weight, the machine will brew a starbucks bean taste like the store’s drip coffee; that cannot be said for other brewers. -that just tells me that the machine can make coffee taste like it’s supposed to, with proper extraction of flavor.
You left of the best model, the KBG Select. The Select slows down the water flow to the brew basket for smaller batches (4 to 6 cups) with no fiddling with a switch on the brew basket.
@@ecscoffeeinc Wow, that was a quick reply! I saw at the end where y’all were out of Canada and wondered if it was available there yet. It’s only been in available in the U.S. this year. I love mine, but it was only available in polished silver, nice looking but not as fun as some of the other colors.
My only problem with the Select is if you make half-pots, the first cup is always terrific but the hot plate will cook the remaining coffee way too quickly. I just turn my machine off after the brewing cycle, before the auto-off kicks in.
Bought the Moccamaster KB model. Makes a great pot of coffee, but the cheap plastic feel of all of the components that you actually handle is upsetting. For over $250 US it is absurd how cheap this product feels. Otherwise it's a perfect coffee maker.
On the KBT model you need to switch the filter flow to X at the beginning of the brew. If you let the water flow through without wetting all the grounds first, the single tiny dribble of water coming from the poorly designed "sprayhead" will flow through the center of the grounds and leave the rest dry. The $12 coffee pot from Walmart has a better sprayhead. But, once you figure out how to work it, the KBT makes decent coffee.
Interesting they make a blade grinder and not a burr grinder Speaking of grinders, I had always thought conical burr were the best but now I''ve been seeing that flat burr grinders are the best. I want just one grinder that I can use for drip as well as espresso. I don't want to buy two separate grinders but I see many are called coffee grinders and many are called espresso grinders. I know Breville makes one that's supposed to be versatile but have heard it's not that good. What would you recommend for someone that likes both drip and espresso drinks. If it matters, I probably will be making milk drinks not straight shots. Thanks a bunch.
Hi There, I bought one recently and had to return it after one use. The hot plate was registering 305°F in the low setting and 330°F in the high setting; it ruined the coffee. For $440 CAD I expected a better experience than this.
İf you dont need burr grinder then why are you paying for a luxury filter coffee maschine? High Quality grinder+cheap brew setup gives better result for a limited budget
Burr grinders are better but not really as necessary for drip brewing. On a cheap brewer you cannot get the temperature or blooming that a high quality brewer has.
Great explanation of the models, can you tell me if there is a taste difference between the stainless steel and glass? I've never had any thing but glass before.
Glass comes with the warmer, the thermos does not. I prefer glass as I find the warmer helps keep the coffee longer but others love the convenience of thermos'
I have been searching for a plastic free coffee machine. I noticed that the funnel of all dripping machines is made from plastic (BPA free) except Ratio 8. Could you please advise why? Maybe plastic retains heat well? Is it absolutely safe to have hot water running through the plastic funnel? Thank you!
