Brutally Honest Coffee Machine Opinons - Moccamaster Bonavita Mr Coffee Ninja Redline

https://youtu.be/OU7p0viTPvM to see our surprising taste test results.

I have had a mocamaster for I don't know - 7-8 years. I have the model with a thermal carafe. it is one of the best purchases I've made. so good. so consistent.

I LOVE my Mccamaster and it did change my life! It constantly delivers a great cup of coffee, never bitter. It will be my coffee maker forever! Oh, and the company stands behind its product!

Some comments from someone who has been grinding his own coffee since the early 1970's: 1) don't use a scoop, weigh out your beans for a single brewing before grinding. You'll figure out the weight you want per pot (or cup) and your coffee will be more consistent. 2) If you use a reusable "gold" filter basket, you'll have fine sediment in your coffee. This isn't a problem for some, it is for others. 3) I gave up on glass carafes shortly after insulated steel carafes came on the market. The insulated carafes don't require a burner plate and all its associated problems (and bad coffee). 4) I have to have a maker that makes 50+ oz. of coffee. It's the reason I've never considered getting a Bonavita, though I think I would otherwise love it. 5) If you have a coffee maker that makes coffee you like, stick with it. Same for beans and grind. There are no hard and fast rules, just technique and preference. Small changes in technique can produce noticeable changes in the cup. Preferences are so personal that you may hate the coffee I love and vice versa. richard -- "Forget mysterious dark matter and the inexplicable accelerating expansion of the universe; the bicycle represents a far more embarrassing hole in the accomplishments of Physics." - Michael Brooks, Quantum Physicist

I have the mini Bonavita. Before brewing, I always put hot tap water in the carafe to pre-heat it.

Have used the Bonavita several times a day for four years now and never fails to make a great cup of coffee. Thanks for the entertaining and informative review.

Great reviews. Appreciated your insight and honesty. I’ve been doing French press and pour over but would like to try this to save time. Based on your reaction to the coffee I’m looking to get the Bonavita. 😊

Thanks for validating the purchase of my Bonavita. I’ve been happy with it.

This is our second K-Classic. We had our first one for many years, so when we had to replace it, we wanted nothing else but this exact youtube.com/post/UgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG… model. We use it for about three people everyday in the morning. The taste and quick brew is one of the reasons we like it so much. There are so many choices of brands of coffee that we would grab what was on sale and test the different brands from there. I would definitely recommend trying different brands of coffee to find the ones you like the most because there are brands that quite frankly taste horrible.

I’ve had a Bonavita for over a year. I, too, was a pour over coffee person. This machine is very consistent and easy. On a morning I have to get out the door at 530 I can set the coffee maker up the night before and just switch it on and get dressed. Lovely.

I have a Bonavita that has lasted over 10 years and still makes a great cup of coffee. I do the cleaning cycle once a year or so, use filtered water every time, and it has been flawless.

I have the 5 cup version of the Bonavita. I hated the metal carafe and screwing on the lid and having to do something with the brewer basket right away. I now love my Bonavita since I bought a glass carafe for it. I love seeing the coffee and coffee level through the glass and sort of use the brewer basket as a lid to help keep the coffee warm.

This video is so informative, I really needed it. Thank you.

Wow, wonderful video quality and content! I wasn't expecting that with so few subs. Great job!

What a great and fun video, superbly done. Super fun, super informative

We have the Ninja brewer that we purchased in March 2021. This year the digital display stopped working, so we no longer can program. Definitely going to get a new coffee maker, so thank you for this honest review.

I actually had a ninja as my last before my current one; the filter did NOT detach - though it was supposed to as a listed feature on the box. Other than that one point it actually lasted me like 2 years without problems. Which to that point had been my most consistently reliable coffee maker experience. My current one is a Mr. Coffee, and I have to say for $50 with maybe a bit of tax from Walmart, I'm pretty impressed with it so far. The brand according to another coffee "snob" doing tests with different brands I watched about a year ago to research which brand I should invest in when I needed a replacement, also relayed that Mr. Coffee is either the first or one of the very first brands of coffee makers in general. Back even into I believe around the 60's or the 70's (whenever coffee started becoming more widely available/popular. I admit I don't recall offhand) So with that in mind, it doesn't surprise me that the brand knows how to make a good tasting cup of coffee. They wouldn't have survived as a company this long if the product sucked. My sister is better off financially and has a Breville she swears by, but $250 plus tax for only god knows how long it would function is a bit too much of a price tag for my wallet. I will say, if you ever do one cup coffee makers - don't bother with Black & Decker. I wasn't that impressed with it; and it only lasted a whole month of use. Even at about $20 it wasn't really worth the thrift in the purchase. I would personally say a market between $50 - $150 really should serve most peoples' needs as far as good and reliable coffee made. Also... with a name like Danny Pops, I'd figure you'd be more into testing Soda makers ; )

I agree! For a single cup, I just use my Melitta plastic brewer & a #2 filter. I know exactly how much to grind to make a perfect cup. For more cups I use an old Cuisenart brewer with a thermos carafe. Always brews good coffee.

Love the content thank you!

The “parking brake” allows you to do an infused coffee with a filter. Using that occasionally for a well-extracted coffee, similar to a French press with a filter, is an enjoyable change of pace.
