Technivorm Moccamaster53941 KBGV Select 10-Cup Coffee Maker, Polished Silver, 40 ounce, 1.25l

This machine is perfect. It makes great coffee.

Gran sabor!

I've only had this coffee maker a week, so take what you can from that. But, so far, so good! Easy to set-up. Within 2 days I had the coffee adjusted to where I like it far as taste goes. Performs flawlessly, is quiet, fast, looks good and the coffee is not only flavorful, but HOT. I really like that about it. I'm used to pre-heating my coffee cup so the coffee doesn't cool off too fast, but not even sure that's necessary with this coffee maker. It is the perfect temp to brew good coffee and keep it hot all the way to the bottom of the mug. It's easy to clean and I love the "retro" look. The genius is in its simplicity...easy to adjust for any type of coffee you like. Zero issues or complaints...I'll come back and add if I need to, but love it so far.UPDATE. I've had this coffee maker for a little over a month now. I love it more now, than I did when I first got it. It continues to amaze me how good the coffee is! It has to make the smoothest coffee I've ever had the pleasure of drinking. I even bought a grinder. I went into it not expecting much of a difference, but boy was I wrong. The coffee is even more flavorful! I"m thinking of buying a second one, just to have on hand, in case something goes wrong in the future, but since you can purchase most or all of the parts you might need, not really necessary.

Our grind and brew machine died on us and so we started using a French press and/or Areo press. Both options worked fine, but I like to make a pot in the morning so my wife can have a cup, and I can take the rest to work in a thermos.I started watching reviews on drip coffee makers and came across this unit. Everything about it was appealing.-THE LOOK- Aesthetically, it's stunning. Timeless, classic look. It's very clean, the textured finish looks very durable, doesn't finger print, and the color choices are excellent. (I wanted the pistachio color but once I pulled the trigger couldn't wait for it to be shipped so opted for my second choice). While brewing it looks neat as the water bubbles up the center column and into the outlet.-THE BREWING OPTIONS- Very basic controls, but the half pot select allows you to not only brew a half pot, but modifies blooming duration. From there the sky is the limit with grind options and strength without all the buttons and programming. It's also pretty fast- full pot in 6 minutes.-THE TASTE- I've had it 5 days and have made 7-8 pots... It's the best tasting coffee (obviously the beans, grind and everything can make the difference... but when I have a Tim Hortons or Starbucks it's just not the same) and I drink black coffee.-THE DESIGN- If it ain't broke... this design has been around for 50 years and is hand made in the Netherlands and comes with a 5 year warranty. It's not ground breaking but that's the point. Keep it simple. Quality parts, copper heating element, and separate elements for water heating and the carafe. The removable water outlet arm is a nice touch if it gets a fingerprint on it or if your need to clean- simply pop off.-THE PRICE- Ok, so this is super expensive for "just a coffee brewer" but personally I'd rather spend big money on a quality piece that has service able parts, rather than a machine 1/3 the price that may only last 2-4 years. This is a lifetime machine if cared for. Personally I drink at least 3 large black coffees/ day. Starbucks dark roast black is $4.00 CAD. It'll pay for itself in no time.-THE ONLY NEGATIVE- The glass carafe seems really fragile and thin. I'm paranoid it will break. I do not allow anyone to operate my machine as I'm scared they wouldn't be as careful as I when I rinse it.So if you buy pre ground coffee and want an easy pot of coffee, or like to grind fresh and experiment in grams per liter, ground size etc... but must have the best- buy this.

Noticeably improved coffee flavor and very consistent. The retro green color is a bonus. Brews my two cups very quickly (3minutes). Happy with my purchase
