We are proud owners of a now 10 year old Moccamaster, And in those 10 years of being used at least once a day, not a thing broke or failed us, it just keeps on going like a champ, making one great batch of coffee after another, cheers ☕

Dude. I begrudgingly bought one of these a few months ago after my wife continuously complained I was taking too much time making pour overs. I spent years trying to perfect my pour over technique. I hate this machine for making me feel like I wasted years of my life. The coffee (on average) that it produces easily matches what I was producing with my Commandante and Orea V3. I can’t explain it. I do find that giving it a little stir during bloom can help with extraction. I also find that keeping the lid on during the brew is key. Other than that, it’s flawless. I hate that I love it so much. I echo all your sentiments. Great vid.

I own this coffee maker also and I love it. I have left coffee on the burner for up to half an hour and I did not notice much of a difference in the taste of the coffee like I have in other coffee makers. I have always felt like the thermo carafes change the taste of the coffee a little bit, but that’s just me. This makes the best drip coffee.

One of the key benefits of a Moccamaster is the precise brew time and temperature it provides. This was a key selling point when I bought mine.

There are versions of this that use thermally insulated carafes and no hot plate. Keep that in mind when selecting the model you want.

here in Finland the Moccamaster is a household stable you can find ANYWHERE, so i've had my fair share of experience with them aswell as growing to like the coffee it produces, much better than most popular batch brewing alternatives. They usually have a manual drip lock on the filter cone, which in my experience seems to never work properly for some reason so glad to see theres a model of this legendary brewer that seems to have upgraded the drip lock system. Like you said also, one of the things I dont like about it is the plastic peripherals that feel really cheap, even though they usually last pretty long regardless. I wish Moccamaster would make alternative peripherals in more premium materials to be purchased separately, for example. Great video as always, too!

This is my daily driver. Moccamaster and Ode Gen 2. I rarely get better coffee at any local coffee shop. I like the Moccamaster for all the things you mention. It’s simple and makes great coffee. Love the Pistachio color. I now wish I got that.

I don’t know how it does this, but it’s unbelievable, it’s been one month. I’m using this machine, and I feel the huge difference between the other ones and this one. Satisfaction guarantee 👍🏼

I have had my Moccamaster for 18 years, I use quality water, descale when needed, I have never had an issue or anything break. Ruler flat 200 degree brewing temperature, start to finish.

I Highly agree. I generally do a V60 or an Aeropress but if we have guests over, I usually go with the Moccamaster. It's a solid brew and it doesn't feel like I'm "wasting beans". As a bonus, I don't have to stand in the corner meticulously trying to maximize extraction while guests/friends wait awkwardly. Though, I wonder how the Chemex Compares. That's the one I use for 3-6 people.

I guess part of the reason for the thin/cheap/flimsy plastic parts is that they have low heat retention and thus don’t affect the coffee bed while brewing. I have been eyeing the moccamaster select for a while now as I’d also like to have a brewer for more than two people for when we have friends over. And it’s certainly still on the list, but for the time being we just got a 6-cup Chemex for its aesthetics and because it’s a relatively low-budget batch brewer.

Hi from Malaysia! thanks for the awesome review! We use it at your cafe roastery too. Batch brews are not so popular in specialty coffee shops in Malaysia just yet and it has a negative perception on it. But we have been using this for close to 2 years now and boy are we happy to have it. What we were able to do with this tool was offer at wide range of single origin coffees to our customer, while still being able to charge them a afforadable price. As our barista do not have to be there constantly taking care of the brew unlike a traditional V60. It has so much more upside than downside. Everytime when our customer take the first sip for the mccomaster, they are pleasantly surprised by the brew quality. But I must admit that, there are certain coffees that are harder to extract, or more complex, does not do well with the mccamaster. Overall, this machine allows us to showcase our beans and single origin that we've roasted in an easy and simple manner. We might just have to do a review on it too :)

For the reason you mentioned in the video I bought the one with the thermos flask. Everybody: Heat the flask up before using. We are totally happy. We once bought a replacment lid for the flask.

The thermal moccamaster is great. Also, their hot plate is pretty gentle and less likely to scorch the coffee.

I appreciate your versatility, a breath of fresh air on quality tasting coffee in a drip brewer, Moccamaster says it all, superbly done video, love pistachio color

I love my Moccamaster! I don't use it nearly enough because I'm the only one drinking coffee in my house. I have the bright yellow one, it's fantastic!

I have a Moccamaster that my parents bought me when I moved to my first apartment. That was in 2007. It's still just chugging away. I've only had to replace a pot once because I broke it.

I have the exact color you displayed. I had a Smeg before and it was a struggle. I now brew twice full pots a day and one especial from my Breville barista in the late afternoon. It brew fast and the aroma is just amazing. You are correct about the plastic parts and the carafe. Great discussion. Thank you for sharing

I just got mine after saving up a bit. I love the utily looks and the simplicity of it. I used to go to Dunkin but I sold my stores (yes) so I researched something to repicate the brew of Dunkin but I didn't want a huge BUNN unit in my kitchen. Coffee quality👉 Precise grind weight 👉and very high temp make the best coffee brews. I agree about the hot plate but if you don't drink your coffee in 18 minutes (when it starts to become acidic) buy a better coffee, make a smaller batch or buy an insulted carafe. Cheers! ☕
