Moccamaster KBGV Select

I rarely write reviews - I cannot even remember the last one - but I had to write one for this coffeemaker. I love it so much! We have had ALL the coffeemakers. Keurig, Nespresso, Cuisinart, Breville... we even splurged on a Terra Kaffe. Some of them did too much, some the coffee was bitter, some the coffee wasn't hot (Terra, I'm looking at you!). After going back to a simple Ninja pod that was fine, I was desperate for HOT, good tasting coffee. If that's what you are looking for, this is the machine! It's not fancy, does not require anything fancy and makes spectacular, HOT coffee. I love the design (we have the dark green and it matches our house beautifully) and how easy it is to clean and maintain. My only improvement would be that the glass carafe be a bit thicker. I read this in the reviews before buying so I wasn't surprised, but I would agree that I worry about it breaking at some point. For me, though, I will happily replace that part as the rest of the machine is just that good.

Excellent coffee machine. Appears slightly fragile, but after some use, it is actually very sturdy and well made. I'm not too particular about coffee, but this does make a quick and tasty pot of coffee. Looks great, performs great, simple to use with no silly options that most will never use. Get one, if you feel like spending a lot of money. You will be satisfied.

Love this coffee make. Makes a great cup of coffee, looks great and is made well. Also very easy to clean as the various parts are easy to disassemble and put back together. It is a bit pricy but well made, easy to use and makes a great cup of coffee.

I thought I made a decent cup of pour over coffee. I thought so until I had my first cup from this incredible machine! It’s incredibly smooth and delicious. I don’t have time for manual pour over in the morning but didn’t want cheap drip coffee. This maker fits the bill! So quick and easy to use. The price was my holdout for a while but I’m so glad I bit the bullet and bought it. I’m the only coffee drinker in my house and I make just one cup per day. It’s below the recommended 4 cup minimum but it seems to be working out just fine. The single cup maker doesn’t have the amazing reviews that this model does so I’m glad I chose this one. Very happy with it!

This review is for the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select. I am a craft coffee roaster...I roast my own coffee purchased from all over the world. I want a coffee brewer that does justice to the effort that I have put into buying and roasting my green coffee beans. If you're like me, you're not just wondering if the Moccamaster is a good coffee maker, but you are wondering if it is the one to buy...is it worth the money? With that in mind, I will talk about the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select and compare it to a competing coffee maker in hopes of being of assistance in making your decision; but I won't go into great detail so I'm not repeating marketing hype. The Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select is a really pretty machine. It looks just like it's pictured on Amazon. I bought the teal model. So, if you like the looks in the pictures, then you'll like the looks of the machine. It meets the SCAA gold cup standard for brewing, and so it does make very good coffee. It takes a standard #4 cone filter which are easy to find. It has a switch that can be set to either half pot or full pot (the primary reason I bought this particular model). The carafe is glass and it is thin; nothing wrong with that but don't dink it on the counter or the sink as it will likely crack. Having said that, I think that coffee brewed in glass tastes a tiny bit better....maybe. I can tell very little difference between coffee brewed in glass and that brewed in stainless. By all accounts, the internal working of the coffee maker are excellent and should be expected to last a long time. In short, it a good coffee making machine and it brews good coffee. Now the cons: The lid over the water reservoir and the lid over the coffee filter are both loose pieces. No big deal, but when you are filling the water and putting coffee in the filter, you have to kind of juggle those loose lids and find a place to put them on the counter that is out of the way. Not a deal breaker, but be aware that this adds just a bit of "busyness" to the coffee brewing process. Also, the power switch which initiates the brew keeps the hot plate on will stay on for like 100 minutes if you do not remember to turn it off, even if the carafe is not on the machine. I would think a machine of this quality would have some kind of sensor to turn the hot plate off if the carafe is not on the machine. One final note; I purchased my Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select during Prime days for $245 instead of the normal $349...the lowest price ever offered by Technivorm. I have always wanted a Moccamaster, but without that $104 savings? I would not have purhcased it. $349 is too much for a household coffee maker. For that matter, so is $245. I also own the OXO 9 Cup maker with a stainless thermal carafe. It is an attractive, modern looking machine. It also is a SCAA gold cup standard coffee brewer that can make a half or whole pot. The carafe is virtually indestructible and keeps a full pot of coffee very hot for a long time (1.5-2 hours). Both the water reservoir lid and filter housing lid are hinged permentantly to the machine so they are never in the way or taking up counter space. Are the internal working as highly engineered and constructed as those of the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select? Probably not. But, I've had my OXO for three years and it works flawlessly every time. OXO engineers their products well and I expect their machine to last a long time. The OXO does not have a hot plate so no issue like that of the Moccamaster. One neat thing it does do; it senses if the carafe is in place and if it is not in place you cannot brew. Nice safety/convenience feature, I think. Cons: none really, unless you consider a stainless carafe a con. I do not. There might be a miniscule difference in taste (one that cannot be quantified), but I cannot definitively say there is. I have been drinking my own roasts for the last three years brewed in the OXO. Every good roast has tasted good; every poor roast has tasted poor. But, that's on me the roaster....not on the brewer. At just about $200 full price, the OXO is a bargain compared to the Moccamaster. If you chose to buy the Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select you've got a very good machine. If you pay $349 for it, I have to say that you spent a lot more money for a coffee brewer than you needed it. If you really want the Moccamaster, buy it and be proud of it. You'll like the coffee. If you want a very good coffee maker and you don't absolutely have to own a Moccamaster, be a better steward of your money and buy the OXO for about $200 or less. You won't be dissapointed with either brewer, but you might be disappointed with yourself for spending more than you need to for a good coffee maker. FYI: 1)The Moccamaster 53934 KBGV Select is about 14" tall and the OXO is about 15"...if this matters to you. 2) I use the Melitta Bamboo #4 filters on both machines because they don't impart a papery taste to the coffee...IMO. Hope this help you!

So impressed with this MoccaMaster. It makes the best coffee. Sleek design, easy to clean and at first I thought price was too high, however, worth every penny paid. I had no idea what coffee tasted like without a plastic taste!

For 20+ years and at least 4 coffee makers, we have used Keurig because of its convenience. And over the past several years, we drank only Illy K cups. We briefly used our French Press and single pour over, which ended up in the cabinet - we are too busy. However, since we drink coffee daily, it was that time in our lives that we step up the quality in the coffee we drink. After hours upon hours of research for an all-in-one grinder/coffee maker with each having their own issues, in December 2025 I decided on the Moccamaster 53944 KBGV coffee maker. Very manual and a bit expensive "coffee" maker but ALL the ratings were high. I pulled the trigger and also bought a Baratza Virtoso Grinder which was best for pour over coffee. As advertised and rated, the Moccamaster makes excellent, smooth and less acidic coffee. So far tried Illy, Bulletproof, and Kona coffee whole beans. Now we need to try more freshly roasted coffee beans and see what we have been missing. No regrets spending quite a bit of money to make great coffee.

Makes delicious coffee and looks very sleek in my kitchen. Happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

El producto venía dañado! es una pena que después de ver tantas opiniones de este excelente producto venga de esta manera. me dí la oportunidad de hacer un gasto tan grande y me llevo una gran desepcion. A veces lo caro sale muy malo ni hablar como decimos en México... va pa atrás! 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.

これは販売者向けだが、電源プラグが3ピンタイプで変換プラグも付属していないので開封後すぐに使えなかった。変換プラグを別途購入する必要がある事を商品ページで記載するべだと思う。 機能自体は満足しているが保温機能があまり長続きしないのでステンレス版にすればよかったかもしれない。

I wish I could give this 10 stars. I am obsessed with my Moccamaster. I can't believe it took me this long to buy one. It's the Cadillac of coffee brewers. The GOAT. As someone who worked in the coffee industry for over a decade I can confidently assure you that this machine brews an absolutely superior cup of coffee. It's kind of like a cross between a pour-over and a drip machine, with the flavour of a pour-over and the convenience of a drip machine. The carefully calibrated heating system and water delivery means you won't burn your coffee resulting in bitterness or over-extraction. It also brews very quickly, and keeps the coffee warm until you need it. The Design itself is aesthetically pleasing, unlike other drip machines, and the quality of the craftsmanship is truly outstanding. Would make a great higher-end gift for a house-warming or a wedding, but also If you're thinking about switching to the Moccamaster for yourself just take my word for it and do it. You won't regret it!

Le café à la bonne chaleur, les composants des pièces sont vraiment de bonne qualité . Le goût du café est exceptionnel, rien de comparable à celui d’avant. Très belle achat! Je Vous le recommande!
