Moccamaster (Technivorm) - KBGT Select

I have the mochamaster. I personally think it's overhyped

So if you’re okay with a V60 / Chemex (the lack of automation, extra effort and time needed) then don’t get a Moccamaster tbh, it’s not worth it. Don’t get me wrong, I love mine a lot, but I was thinking about this the other day and that’s my conclusion. If you’re in the market for -specifically- a filter coffee machine, then a moccamaster is a great option

I also have a KBG select and extremely rarely brew more than 250 ml at a time. Tbh, it’s a really solid cup. Just slightly adjust the grind size.

Curious as to why? (Moccamaster user and it really matches the hype)

It still has plastic but I got a moccamaster kbgv select. The company’s website describes why they use some plastic in their design

I have the Moccamaster KBGV Select. Basically its like making a pour over grade coffee, but for 6-10 cups at a time. It brings the flavor out of the beans. The problem is if you buy cheap coffee beans, you can tell.

I use my aeropress for travel, French press for home (it was all the rage when I was getting serious about coffee and I decided not to chase every new trend. Plus I like the hands-off time.) I suspect OP is really looking for a Moccamaster, though. If you want drip, it’s the best I’ve used. We have one at my office and it’s solid. 

I had an Aiden for about 4 months before it developed a problem (water flow issue) which was superb while it worked. Check out all the complaints in the Fellow Products sub before you buy one. With the refund from that, after a lot of research, I got myself a Moccamaster Select which looks stunning and makes great coffee. Hopefully this will last longer than the Aiden.

My Moccamaster is probably the best investment I’ve made. Highly recommend for those looking to brew multiple cups at once.

Agree, thermal plates just simmer the coffee. Carafes, like the one on my moccamaster, are way more versatile. Bring it to table, patio, office, etc without losing heat.

As a professional kitchen product tester (I work at Forbes Vetted, I'm Monica Petrucci), I own a Moccamaster. There's a reason that machine has such a cult following; it's meticulously designed to brew the perfect pot every time. It also comes with a 5-year warranty, plus lifetime repairs, which makes it a great investment. The OXO Brew 9-Cup is a great value-friendly alternative.

As far as coffee makers go, I would unreservedly recommend the Moccamaster KBGV Select as a BIFL-approved item. (I'm Brinda, editorial director at Forbes Vetted and owner of this exact machine. I've had mine for 4 years so far and it basically looks and acts like new.) It's handmade with care—and responsible labor practices—in the Netherlands, and the copper heating element is a high-quality and reliable technology that has stood the test of time. The 5-year warranty is among the best that exists for coffee makers, and the brand is willing to repair your machine for its entire lifespan for a small fee. Just hand wash everything to ensure any plastic parts and accessories stay intact and don't break. TL;DR, in my professional opinion: Run, don't walk to pick one up!
