After considerable research I decided to purchase a Moccamaster. The coffee machine I replaced was a conventional drip maker that was inconsistent in taste and I was looking for something that provides a quality cup of coffee. I knew exactly what to expect when it arrived and wasn’t surprised by the plastic parts or anything associated with the build. A major plus for me is the longevity of the company and replacement parts which are readily available if necessary. It’s simple to clean and has a cool retro look. I like the fact that it’s no frills, I don’t need another device that connects via blue tooth or requires an app. Low tech is better in this instance.
Now the most important part that in my opinion is necessary for a quality cup of coffee. It’s a tremendous difference when you grind your own beans. I was purchasing ground coffee from a specialty shop and it wasn’t working in the Moccamaster. The coffee was coming out too weak, didn’t have a smooth taste and the flavors were muted. Grinding the beans solves the issue and you get the full flavor of the bean.
What works for me when brewing is starting the unit and allowing it to drip just over the top of the grounds and then pausing. I let the coffee bloom for 30 seconds stir then finish the brew cycle.
The finished cup of coffee is the perfect temperature and there is no hint of bitterness or sour notes. It’s a great addition to the morning with a quality cup of coffee.
Update:
I was experiencing some unexpected inconsistencies with my coffee. I went back to the beginning and eliminated all possibilities related to what could be happening. As it turned out it was my old coffee mugs. The ceramic mug had degraded and cleaning was not possible. The stainless mugs were stained. Both scenarios when adding very hot coffee released an unpleasant taste. I completely cleaned the stainless mugs and purchased a new ceramic mug. Do yourself a favor and if you have old mugs get some new ones and if you have stainless mugs clean them. I found a tip that works. Drop a dishwasher detergent tablet in the mug and add boiling water. The results are quite incredible.

Terracotta mocha master
What a beautiful coffee machine! I went from a keurig to this because I am drinking about 4-5 cups a day which is a lot of coffee pods so I decided to switch over to a pot. I’m not gonna lie I stumbled upon this one because I love the terracotta color, I have accents everywhere in that color so when I saw this I knew I was going with this one lol but I am very pleasantly surprised the taste is completely different! I’m using the same coffee as was in my pods but tastes more bold? Maybe more flavorful? I’m not sure how to explain it, it tastes like a more expensive cup of coffee I guess, which for the price it should taste like an expensive cup of coffee lol I’m hoping to have this for a while it seems like it will hold up well. I love the simplicity of it. I hate coffee machines with Bluetooth and 20 different buttons, my keurig had all that nonsense and I never used any of it. It brews a lot quicker also than my keurig which also nice! And the size of this is actually so compact! It’s probably half the size of my keurig which in the photos it looks big but it’s not at all, it’s very small it takes up hardly any counter space I love it! my keurig looked so bulky and kinda an eye sore. I definitely plan on keeping it, though my Amazon driver did let me know some detergent had spilt on the package during delivery I thought it had just got on the outside of the box but it looks like it soaked through and some of the plastic pieces stink like chemically detergent which is grossing me out. I tried washing the pieces off so if that doesn’t fade away in the next few days I may have to return it but I will definitely be getting the same one I’m so far a huge fan of this coffee machine and I will update if I experience any issues with it

I’d been limping along with a generic $9 drip coffee maker for years, always putting off the research to find a good one. This year, I’d had enough of that cheap maker. I dove deep into researching SCA-approved brewers, binged YouTube videos, and read tons of reviews. After all that, I settled on the Technivorm Moccamaster, mainly because it’s not made in China, has a solid warranty, and offers parts and service through a U.S. location.
At first, I was leaning toward the thermal carafe model. Coffee nerds kept saying glass carafes give coffee a burnt taste if it sits too long. I know that taste from a lifetime of glass carafe makers, but I rarely let coffee sit that long. If I do, I just brew a fresh pot. Plus, glass carafes are way cheaper to replace and easier to clean than those glass-lined thermal ones, which are also breakable but cost a lot more.
The color choice was tough. I was leaning toward a safe, neutral one, but then I read a review (can’t find it now) that basically said: if you’re torn between a boring color and a bold one, go bold—you won’t regret it. That pushed me to pick the turquoise, and I’m obsessed with it. No regrets!
I’m not a clean freak and never bothered to thoroughly clean my old coffee makers after every use. But this Moccamaster? It feels like it deserves the extra few seconds to stay spotless. It’s built to last years, and I want to keep it looking nice.
Since I couldn’t see one in person before buying, I was a bit nervous about the plastic quality some folks complained about. Honestly, I don’t get the fuss—the plastic feels solid enough, not cheap or flimsy, and every part is replaceable through Amazon or Technivorm. The glass carafe does seem a tad thin, so I’m sure I’ll break it eventually. The carafe lid pops on and off super easily for cleaning. The water reservoir lid feels a little loose, but it’s not a big deal to me—what am I locking up in there?
Heads-up: Moccamasters need coarsely ground coffee. If you’re using pre-ground grocery store stuff, you might want to pick a different SCA-approved brewer. I used to be a pre-ground coffee person too, but I switched to hand-grinding specialty beans right before getting this. I’ve accidentally ground too fine a couple of times, and it almost overflowed the filter basket—way too close for comfort.
Some coffee gurus say to stir the grounds while brewing for the best extraction. I wasn’t planning to bother, but I’m usually nearby (I leave the filter lid off during brewing). When it’s down to about a cup left, I’ll give it a quick stir if I notice dry grounds near the filter basket handle. A few times, I forgot to stir until it was done, but when I checked, all the grounds were wet anyway. The coffee tasted just as good to me—I couldn’t tell the difference.
Is this the ultimate coffee maker? I don’t know. But it feels well-made, I love how it looks, and the coffee it brews is fantastic. I think it’ll last for years. Would I pay full price? Probably not. Did I wait for a sale? Nope. I got an Amazon store card with a $100 instant gift card, which made it feel like a solid deal for a coffee maker I’m thrilled with.

The product came damaged! It's a shame that after seeing so many reviews of this excellent product it comes this way. I gave myself the opportunity to make such a big expense and I am very disappointed.
