A truly great coffee machine. I've had mine several months and am still in love with it. Makes consistently delicious coffee; works right out of the box. You don't really even have to read the directions. I did because I was so excited to have it. lol. I love the design - both form and function.I bought this mostly for health reasons. I'll go there and circle back to COFFEE.So, most coffee makers allow the hot water to interface with all the plastic components. Hear me out. It's common sense. Heat increases the leaching of bisphenols (BPA, BPS, BPF), phthalates, dioxins, and other toxins (microplastics) that get stored in us. Not good. Estrogenic, toxic > crushes hormones, ED, estrogen dominance, liver/kidney damage, neurotoxicity, immune suppression, cardiovascular damage, microbiome damage/leaky gut, INFERTILITY, prostate/testicular/breast CANCER. This device uses BPA-free plastics where any surfaces interface with water/coffee.Ok. Let's talk coffee. I LOVE this machine. Ugh. So great. I mean, yes, as with any brewing device, you have to get the grind size right. With most commercially ground coffee's, you're good to go. Just get the amount of coffee right. I'll come back to that.I buy specialty whole beans and grind them. Too course: weak and under-extracted. Too fine: over-extracted and bitter. Again, critical to brewing coffee: you have to get the water-to-bean ratio right. Sorry. Some people just don't know this stuff. If you like strong coffee and are grinding your beans, I'd chatGPT what that ratio should be. Buy a cheap digital scale on Amazon. I measure to get the correct dose based on what I like.But aside from all of that, this machine brews to perfection. The water gets heated adequately to extract whereas with a Mr Coffee type machines, not so much. The word I'd use to describe the coffee I get from the Moccamaster: SMOOTH. More words: Delicious. Mind-blowing. My wife loves it as much as me. I don't see how you can go wrong with this machine.Oh, and get the one with the carafe! (this model, duh) Why? Coffee sitting on any burner BURNS in some ridiculously short amount of time. You don't want that. Think convenient store coffee. No.So for that reason, I love the carafe. Keeps the coffee warm. Comes with a different lid for that. So they provide a lid that allows the coffee to brew and drip into the carafe and yes, you can pour perfectly from that after it brews. But if you wanna keep it hot for long, you use their other cap. You just tighten and un-tighten to pour.Can't go wrong. Hand assembled. Great warranty. Looks cool in your kitchen. People swoon :) You will swoon.

Muy buen producto, el café excelente

Fast and easy. Recommended.

I'm an engineer who has worked from my home office for more than 20 years, and coffee is an important part of my day. I typically brew either 6 or 7 pots of coffee at home per week, and I have e-cycled more than my share of coffee brewers that failed after a year or two. I invested in this model after reading a lot of online reviews and reading its documentation, and I'm quite happy with its quality and the quality of the coffee it brews.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!This carafe is very well insulated. I brew a pot in the morning, fill an insulated mug right away, then replace the open brewing cap on the carafe with the thermal-sealed lid. The remaining coffee in the carafe is still nicely warm at noontime or even at the end of my workday and remains drinkably warm until I finish the last of it in the evening. (For reference, I don't mind if the coffee is just warm rather than staying hot -- it's worth it to avoid the stale taste.) The fully sealed thermal lid is important, and without it the coffee would not stay warm for long.There are some minor things I think could be improved about this model, and one "important usage tip" that I will share with other purchasers here.First, I wish there was a way to slow the rate of water flow into the grounds, to brew a slightly stronger pot of coffee. That's personal preference, of course. This brewer does a nice, smooth brew using water at the correct temperature, but since I take the trouble to buy good coffee, I'd prefer if the water spent more time in the grounds to absorb a bit more of that richness.Second, I'd like to see a pouring lip on the carafe. The carafe is made of spun stainless steel, and the pouring rim is a perfect circle. It works fine with the open brewing cap in place, but once you swap for the thermal cap, you have to unscrew that just the right amount to avoid a wider stream that can miss the cup. The circular lip doesn't really help to narrow the stream, whereas I think a modest outward bend in the lip, opposite the handle, would take care of this problem. I've done some sheet metal work as a hobby and have considered trying this as a DIY modification, but since it's stainless steel I'm nervous about deforming the threaded fitting for the lid.Finally, I'll offer this tip about a problem I encountered, and how I've solved it.Every so often, I found that the coffee would overflow the filter cone and make a mess all over the countertop and floor. At first, I thought the valve under the filter was becoming clogged, but careful cleaning didn't solve the problem. My next theory was that the filter paper was pressing too tightly against the inside of the brewing cone and blocking flow, so I checked to make sure there was a gap at the bottom of the filter paper (there are small plastic ribs inside the cone designed to assure clearance around the sides of the filter). This still didn't solve the problem.I tried varying the grind, thinking perhaps I was grinding too fine and the coffee itself was obstructing the flow, but that didn't help, either.I finally figured out what was happening and solved it. The problem was *too much* gap at the bottom of the filter, not too little! The rate of water flow in this brewer is such that the coffee filter *almost* fills to its brim during normal operation. When there's too much gap below the filter paper, the pool of water and coffee grounds touches the drip nozzles, and there is enough volume displaced that it can overflow the paper cone. *Then* the exit hole becomes plugged, and you've got a mess.The solution was simple: When placing the coffee and filter into the brewing chamber, gently press it down to be sure it is seated fully, and that the filter's seam is bent aside to allow it to settle all the way into the plastic housing. I've not had a single overflow since I figured this out.Aside from the very minor quibbles (not being able to increase brew strength, and the lack of a shaped pouring spout on the carafe), I'm quite happy with the Moccamaster overall, and I am glad I finally spent the money to get a durable, well-designed coffee maker. I debated between four stars and five stars, but the two minor quibbles were not enough to deduct a star from a product that is working very well for me and which I use almost every day.

Im Dänemark-Urlaub das erste Mal so eine Kaffeemaschine gesehen! Zu Hause gleich bestellt!Außer das der Ein- und Ausschalter flackert, alles super!Von Moccamaster kostenlos einen neuen bekommen und Einbau war ganz leicht!

I got this machine last week, yeah really pricey. I looked into this machine a few years ago, but the price scared me a bit.I have been through so many other high end machines, Bunn - Junk, Brazen - Bigger Junk. They sound so wonderful with such great features and then they break down because they are too complicated. The Bunn didn't even work when I got it, and my friend had the same experience. We both replaced them 3 times and eventually gave up. the Brazen lasted 2 months and started making half amounts.What I really love about this machine is all the great features it has. Which features you ask? Exactly. OK enough riddles. It has no features. Does what it is supposed to do, make a fantastic cup of coffee, quickly and cleanly. The more features, the more can go wrong, especially with mass produced products.This product is hand made by the way.Nothing to clean up after. Coffee is piping hot. Coffee made in minutes, and even looks great making it. Simple to make. Pour water, put coffee, turn switch. Drink yummy coffee.The only criticism I could make is the fact that the carafe could be a little better designed. Maybe a bit of a funnel for the coffee to direct through. The lid for the carafe could also have a release switch so you don't have to take it off every time you pour.I can't see what can go wrong with this machine to be honest. It's so simple.
