79317 KBGT thermal Carafe 10-Cup Coffee Maker 40 Ounce, Stone Grey 1.25l

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.

You don't like long detailed reviews than stop here and just buy this coffeemaker. If you want details read on.... Just as a brief background I have been a coffee drinker for more than 25 years and have owned practically every high-end coffeemaker available. Some live up to part of their hype but none that I have experienced actually deliver 100% of the manufacturer's claims. The most recent machine that I've used is by Remington which was called icoffee. Admittedly, this was a very clever idea of using a machine to produce a French press like coffee. The downside is the company has terrible customer service, the machine falls apart in every way imaginable, and the really just should not be that much maintenance in making coffee. This thing required constant cleaning and disassembling it was a pain. It did however brew coffee in a very unique way by circulating a reservoir full of coffee grinds with your boiling water to produce a very strong near oily coffee. If that's your thing, and if the company is still in business, then go with that. I have also owned a commercial Bunn multi-hotplate coffeemakers which in my opinion produce some of the best coffee money can buy. The problem with those is that unless you own a gas station they are hideous and are inappropriate for nearly anyone's home. Probably the best bang for your buck and by far the most substantially built unit but again it's commercial and looks like it. This thing is built like a Mercedes and will last for 20 years... But again, even the single pot coffeemakers are very unattractive. I buy a lot of items on Amazon due to verify customer reviews. This coffeemaker rates off the charts in customer satisfaction and quality. For over $300 it had better so I figured I would give it a chance (my icoffee finally broke). It is a very attractive piece for anyone's kitchen but the amazing thing is that it really performs as well as the manufacturer's claims and the reviews you read online. Go to any search engine and type in the name of this brewer with the word "reviews" after it and you will be impressed. Throughout the world people rave about the quality of this machine. They can now add me as one more totally satisfied customer. This coffee maker practically has a cult like following, it really is something. The coffee that this machine produces is perfectly on the line of strong and smooth. There is no bitter aftertaste or watery coffee just perfectly brewed coffee and exactly the correct temperature. Many years ago a friend of mine who owns a couple of McDonald's told me that the secret is in the temperature and the grind. He was correct, this machine uses copper coils to properly heat water to exactly the right temperature which then cools as it passes through the grinds. What you get is perhaps the best tasting coffee money can buy. As I leave all of my Amazon reviews, I will simply state that if you don't believe me or if all of the reviews have convinced you, give it a shot… If you don't like it this is a prime item and Amazon will take it back no questions asked. You literally have nothing to lose. ps the $300 price tag is a big pill to swallow up front for coffeemaker.. Make a couple of pots (I strongly suggest the one with the stainless steel carafe not the glass coffee pot) and I firmly believe that you will feel that it was $300 well spent.

First of all, I rarely post reviews, other than for products that I wish to warn others to avoid. In this case, I make the rare exception. I have been using a Capresso drip machine, and a Capresso bean grinder for almost 15 years. When I bought that coffee maker, what I really wanted to try was the Moccamaster. I bent to the will of the budget, and bought the machine that was on sale, and one third the price. That machine was a pain to keep clean, and while it made decent coffee, was generally a pain to live with. Finally, it died. I decided that I wasn't going to settle this time, and bought the Moccamaster with the glass-lined, insulated carafe. A bit fiddly to use, but once you get the hang of it, it isn't difficult. The only thing I don't use is the plastic cover for the coffee filter basket. What I get for my money is a fast brew, that is so much smoother and richer than ever before! I use a dark roast, and instead of tasting a bit muddy, it is phenomenal! I love the one switch idea. No clocks, no beeps, no settings. I get up, grind my beans, add water, grounds, push the button and then shower. It can't overcook on a hot plate, as there isn't one! If I take just a bit too long, the machine shuts off after 12 minutes. If you want a great cup of coffee, a thermal carafe that does NOT make the coffee taste metallic, a fairly quick and quiet brew, and a machine that's easy to clean, this is the one you want to splurge on!

Short answer: Best coffee maker I’ve ever owned. Brews fast (2 min fast), no unnecessary clocks, timers, or brew settings. You don’t need them. Long answer: I purchased the Moccamaster KGBT Thermal Carafe (10-cup) and wanted to clear up some of the “cheap plastic” complaints from other reviews. The build quality is excellent. The main body is solid, and the only plastic parts are: • Water reservoir lid • Filter basket • Filter basket lid • Thermal carafe tray Yes, these parts feel lighter than you might expect at this price point—but the engineers knew what they were doing. These components are exactly what make the machine incredibly easy to use, disassemble, clean, and reassemble in seconds. • Reservoir lid: It’s removable, not hinged. My old machine’s flip-up lid constantly got in the way of the cabinet door above. This one doesn’t. • Filter basket: One piece that lifts out easily. If you weigh your coffee, you can place it directly on a scale, fill, and slide it back in. • Thermal carafe tray: Some reviewers dislike this flat, unattached tray. If you store your coffee maker in a cabinet, it will be an annoyance. I slide mine from under the counter to the front, and it’s never been an issue. It was mentioned before, but I can’t overstate how easy this machine is to clean. Everything else you’ve read is true. It brews fast. A full pot takes about 3 minutes. I usually brew 6 cups (24 oz), which takes around 2 minutes. Thermal Carafe only keeps coffee hot for about an hour. If that’s not long enough, brew a smaller pot, and make a fresh cup. As mentioned 2 min. A couple notes from the manual: • Do not use reverse osmosis water—it can affect the heating element. • The European “standard” coffee strength is no joke. Follow it if you like dangerously strong coffee. I stick with 1 level scoop per 6 cups (24 oz). AI even gave me a hard time, telling me I make weak axx coffee when I was asking how to make the best pot. To each his own. Hope this helps in your decision.

First of all, I do have to say that I believe the coffee tastes better than with my old machine, although my earlier coffee maker was at least 12 years old, so I would hope that I'd notice a change. The coffee machine is very quiet while it's brewing which is nice, and it is pretty quick once you start it. You can tell that a lot of thought and care was taken in designing the heating element, but that's pretty much where it ends as far as I can tell. There are a lot of separate pieces which is not necessarily a bad thing because it makes it easy to clean, and I would assume that it also makes it easy to buy a replacement part if something gets lost or damaged. My primary complaint is with the insulated carafe and the footplate. The footplate design (if you can call it that) is ridiculous. This machine cost over $300, but I have to tape the footplate in place so that it doesn't fall off every time I pick up the machine. I can't slide the machine around because then the rubber feet work themselves out of their slots and I end up having to lift it up to get those back in. I don't know about the rest of the people out there, but I have cabinets over my counters and so I need to slide the coffee machine out to fill it and put in the coffee grounds and I don't want the steam to damage the cabinets while it's brewing. This machine just barely fits under my cabinets since it's quite tall, which I don't mind except for the fact that the footplate keeps falling off when I lift it up to pull it out. The second issue is with the carafe. It does keep the coffee warm, but it's not as good as I would have expected from something that, once again, cost over $300. I think that there could have been a little more effort made in insulating the carafe and the finish on the outside is also a little coarse for my taste, but I understand that it's subjective. Continuing on, there isn't really a spout on the carafe, which is great if you want to pour from any angle, but how often do you need that functionality, plus you get a very broad stream which looks cool, but I believe also provides a lot of surface area while you're pouring it, so I think that it probably cools the coffee on the way into the cup. The lack of a spout also means that the lip around the top of the carafe is angled in such a way that there's always some coffee that pools around the top of the carafe, which is flat. Since the top is flat the coffee that didn't drain into your cup because there isn't a spout also doesn't drain back into the carafe because there's no slope that would allow for gravity to do that for you. Last thing about the carafe is the plug. There are two different plugs; one for brewing and one for sealing and maintaining the coffee temperature. I can get onboard with having two different plugs because there was some thought behind it, but the plug that is supposed to seal it, doesn't. I tightened it much harder than I should have to, and coffee still leaks out. Ultimately, I'll probably keep it because the actual coffee brewing part works well, but it's kind of annoying to have spent this much money on a coffee brewing machine and have to deal with so many annoyances.

I purchased this product because of the Americas Test Kitchen rating and the claim that it was well designed and thought out. After 15 or 20 years my MR Coffee thermal carafe model failed. I tried to move up in the world of coffee makers and paid ridiculous amounts for a supposedly better product. The construction and manufacture of the Technivorm are fine. It does deliver 208 degree water to the top of the coffee grounds and consistently completes a pot of coffee in about 6 minutes. The coffee is not bitter and generally is very good. However the major deal breaking deficiency is that the delivered coffee is not hot enough nor as hot as the old 50 dollar Mr Coffee model. I used a Thermo Pen to measure the water temperature going into the grounds at about 205F -208F. The coffee temperature coming out of the grounds is about 171F. The nice hot coffee drops more than 35 degrees during transport from the top of the grounds to the thermal carafe. The cause is obvious - a stream of fresh coffee flows about 1/2 tp 1 inch in open air - the stream is essentially designed to cool the coffee. The MR Coffee had a different set up for the transfer of the coffee stream from the grounds to the carafe - and I think it worked better. I tried very hard to overcome this Technivorm design flaw by preheating he carafe. Tap water was not enough so I purchased (yeah - I sunk good money after bad) a 4 liter Zojrushi hot water heater and preheated the thermal carafe with 208F water. Despite this the coffee temperature drops too low after a short time in the carafe. I called the Technivorm and was pleased that a real person answered and conducted a pleasant unrushed conversation with me. Unfortunately he indicated it was unreasonable to expect the coffee to stay warm for more than a few minutes and I should have purchased the electric heater model if I wanted the coffee to remain drinkable an hour or so. I pointed out that my old Mr Coffee did this easily but he offered that I could return the purchase the Amazon as he did not want and unsatisfied customer. I think the fatal design flaw for this product is the stream of coffee which is open to the air as it transits from the grounds to the thermal carafe. If the 208F water actually made it into the carafe any where near 200F the carafe could likely keep the coffee much warner for a reasonable time period. I really was into this purchase and tried for several weeks but I can only recommend this if you plan to consume all the coffee within about 30 minutes and even then you may find the coffee too cool to fully enjoy.

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.

This coffee maker is the crème de la crème of all coffee makers. If you’re debating on purchasing, STOP NOW AND DO IT. I spent hours upon hours of researching for the best coffee makers out there. I was tired of dealing with cheap coffee makers that were once known for being great. I purchase the best quality coffee. Just so happens that a friend owns his own coffee plantation and roasts his beans as well. It’s amazing coffee from Panama and I wanted to get the full flavor of his coffee. I took the plunge and ordered the Moccamaster Technivorm with the 10 cup capacity. Here are my takeaways: -Brews FAST -Brews exactly the cups that you want. If you want 4 cups, you get 4 cups. -It’s HOT without adding hot water. -It’s easy to assemble -It’s easy to clean -Brews the coffee exceptionally well with zero bitterness. You get the full flavor of your grounds. Perks: I’m typically a little coffee with my cream and sugar type. Being diagnosed as borderline type 2 diabetic had me changing up things. I love heavy whipping cream as my creamer and I’m usually a heaping 2 tablespoons of sugar gal. I switched to erythritol a year ago, with half sugar. This coffee maker has me doing leveled teaspoon of erythritol and a 1/4 of a teaspoon of sugar. I feel like I’m actually going to be able to go to only erythritol, then maybe no sugar at ALL with this coffee maker. Never in a million years would I have thought that possible. So, although it’s pricier than your average coffee maker, it’s worth it in many ways. I’m getting my coffee grounds fully brewed. The taste is exceptional. I have already reduced the amount of sweetener. Run and buy this coffee maker!!

Es una extraordinaria cafetera. El café resultante es muy bueno. Si te gusta el café en un estilo pour over está cafetera es perfecta. Sencilla de operar y rápida para la preparación de café

Allow me to begin by emphasizing that the choice of coffee maker you make is not limited to the quality of the beans alone. It has a significant impact on the taste of your coffee. And I can confidently say that after conducting a blind taste test, I have become a firm believer in this notion! When it comes to the flavor of your coffee, the coffee maker you select plays a vital role. To prove this to myself, I conducted a blind taste test using three different machines: the Technivorm Moccamaster, Bonavita, and my girlfriend's Black and Decker. I purchased the Technivorm Moccamaster as a replacement for another well-known brand, the Bonavita BV1900TS 8-Cup Carafe Coffee Brewer, which I initially acquired at the end of 2018. Unfortunately, the Bonavita failed after just one year, and the courtesy replacement I received started experiencing intermittent issues after three years. It was clear that an upgrade was in order. Luckily, I was able to seize the opportunity and purchase the Technivorm Moccamaster during an Amazon Prime Day deal. At the time of this review, it cost approximately $50 more than the Bonavita. I was seeking a coffee maker that not only produced exceptional coffee but also offered reliable performance for its price. Given my previous experiences with two Bonavita machines in just four years, the Technivorm's five-year warranty provided me with the reassurance of its quality. The real question, when investing in a higher-priced unit like this, is whether it truly delivers a noticeable difference compared to less expensive alternatives. I can confidently affirm that the difference is nothing short of astonishing. Although the Bonavita consistently brewed great coffee, it wasn't until I sampled coffee from my girlfriend's Black and Decker that I truly grasped the stark contrast in taste. It was a difference between delight and disgust. This made me wonder if the Technivorm could live up to its renowned name. To find out, we conducted a blind taste test with equal amounts of water and coffee grounds. Each cup was numbered, and we sampled them one by one. The Technivorm emerged as the clear winner, with the Bonavita coming in a close second, showcasing its ability to produce excellent coffee. On the other hand, the Black and Decker unit produced disappointing results. The Technivorm not only finished brewing approximately 30% faster than the Bonavita runner-up, but it was also quieter, emitted minimal steam, and did not fill the basket with hot water like the Bonavita did. This likely explains why the American Kitchen review I watched mentioned that the Technivorm maintained the right brewing temperature for about 70% of the brew cycle. As a result, the coffee from the Technivorm was slightly hotter from the carafe and exhibited a notable smoothness in flavor. Although the disparity was not as pronounced as with the cheaper machine, there was an undeniable finesse to the taste of the Technivorm that became apparent in a direct side-by-side comparison of black coffee. Speaking of the unit itself, I appreciate its unique appearance on my countertop. If I were to express a personal preference, I would love to see a glass water reservoir, but that's merely a minor inclination. The unit is straightforward to use, just like the Bonavita, featuring a no-nonsense one-button start without unnecessary features like timers. It simply excels at brewing great coffee! My girlfriend made an astute observation regarding the Technivorm's power switch, which remains in the on position and is triggered to turn on when the carafe is placed in the holder (thanks to a pressure switch). This design feature allows you to plug the Technivorm into a secondary timer and have it prepare your morning brew—a convenience that was not possible with the Bonavita. In conclusion, I am confident that you will love this coffee machine. Although it is still relatively new in my possession, I'll need to give it a year before updating my review. However, based on my current experience, I am thoroughly impressed! I hope you find this review both insightful and helpful. Happy brewing!

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!

Fast and easy. Recommended.
