From the manufacturer
Independent Hotplate
Our hotplate is engineered with a heating element separate from the brewer boiling element. It rolls heat into the coffee, holding it at the perfect temperature while never burning it.
Tested and Approved
We evaluate Moccamaster coffee brewers across the four T’s of coffee brewing: temperature, time, turbulence, and total dissolved solids (TDS). A brewer that performs within the ideal ranges of the four T’s produces the perfect ratio of coffee flavor compounds extracted into water, which the SCA refers to as “the golden cup.” That ratio creates the flavors we enjoy when we sit back with a good cup of coffee, and every Moccamaster hits that mark every brew cycle.
The Coffee Brewer for Coffee Lovers
Since 1968, Moccamaster coffee brewers have set the global benchmark for at-home coffee brewing. Designed to extract the maximum flavor from your grounds in about 4-6 minutes, coffee from a Moccamaster is comparable to what you would brew using a more complex manual process or drink in a café.
We build our coffee brewers to last, using only the highest quality materials and offering replacement parts. With proper care and maintenance, this should be the last coffee brewer you ever need to buy.
- Moccamaster coffee brewers are handmade in heart of the Netherlands.
- Our brewers have a durable metal housing and use a copper boiling element to heat the water, which allows for consistent water temperature control.
- All plastics are BPA, BPS, BPF, and phthalate-free.
- We individually test every brewer before it leaves our factory.

I like my coffee flavorful and strong. I typically make one pot every couple of days, saving the unused coffee in the fridge to be used for iced coffee later. I believe it is advisable to make exactly one full pot at a time for best results. One pot is about 48oz or 6c. It says 10 cups on the water reservoir, so they must think each "cup" (of coffee) is about 4.8oz. There is also what appears to be liter measures, but I question the accuracy there. You certainly can put in less water and try to make a partial pot, but I have reservations about the quality of the results. At any rate, you get about 6c. of coffee for a pot. I'm always amazed and impressed how fast and quiet it works. Granted, my comparison is to my old, cheap, $12.99 coffee maker that gurgled and carried on for what seemed like forever. I love the Moccamaster for it's quiet, smooth operation. Cleanup for me is to simply dispense with the #4 cone style filter and spent grounds (compostable), rinse the detachable parts, of which there are several, and leave to air dry. Not the easiest cleanup, but not bad at all.
There are two switches only; both of which operate with a silky smoothness and a satisfyingly weighty metallic "click." Flip the left switch to start brewing. The light on the switch will turn on signaling power. If you don't flip it back (off), it will automatically do so in 90 minutes. The right switch controls the temperature of the heating plate (not the water heating element which always heats the water to optimal brewing temperature). Flip the switch one way for hotter coffee, the other way for somewhat less hot coffee. The idea here is that some like HOT coffee, but quality will be effected with time. The less hot setting will allow the coffee to stay fresh for the entire 90 minutes, if desired. I think the less hot setting is plenty hot, so I keep it there.
The only other adjustable component is the brew basket. It can be set to "open," "closed," or "half way." I usually just leave it open. If you close it for some reason, DON'T forget to open it before the next brew. Disaster!! (Trust me you will not make that mistake twice.) I'm not sure what the purpose of a user adjustable brew basket is (as opposed to one that automatically shuts off the flow when the carafe is removed). Supposedly the half way setting can be used when brewing a half pot. Also, closing it off at the beginning of brewing can allow the coffee to "bloom" briefly before opening it up for the remainder of the brew. One positive consequence of not having the automatic shut off is that the carafe doesn't have to physically contact the brew basket which provides a cleaner look and no moving parts to keep clean. (Just don't forget to slide it to "open" before brewing!)
The construction is quite good. The main structure is heavy gauge metal, beautifully painted. Mine is matte black which hides the smudges and finger prints nicely. Other finishes, especially shiny ones, might take more care to look good. It says the heating elements are copper which will stay corrosion free as opposed to cheaper, failure prone aluminum elements in nearly all other coffee makers. The hot plate on which the carafe sits appears to be ceramic, looks very nice and is easy to wipe clean. The plastic parts are well made, but somewhat flimsy; definitely not commercial grade. If one is hard on one's appliances, I could imagine breaking or cracking the brew basket, brew basket holder, water reservoir lid, or carafe lid. Of course all of these parts can be replaced if needed. The water reservoir itself is very sturdy (acrylic?). I wish the plastic end caps were metal, or at least better looking plastic.
The Moccamaster's style would be perfect in a modern, minimalist kitchen; but may not be everyone's cup of tea. (er, you know what I mean) I love the design because it looks like no other coffee maker, serious but not fancy. They sell colors and finishes that could easily make this coffee maker the showpiece of a kitchen, if desired. (However, this particular model only is available in stainless or black.)
Not too many complaints with this unit, but nothing is perfect. The flimsy plastics could feel and look more rugged, especially the end caps. Operation is a little bit of a process (removing and replacing the lid on the water reservoir, removing and replacing to lid on the brew basket, etc.). I'm fine with it, but some might feel it is a little tedious. Finally, my biggest problem is with the carafe. I do love it's overall look and feel, but the handle is problematic. The plastic handle is attached to a metal band that holds it to the glass. The metal band is not tight enough to keep the handle from making the whole thing feel flimsy, especially when lifting and pouring a full pot. My old cheap coffee maker had a larger plastic handle piece that attached to the glass at two spots making it feed sturdy when pouring. However it didn't look sleek like the Moccamaster's carafe. Are looks more important than feel? Don't know, but I wish I could have both. The other issue with the carafe is it's inability to pour without dripping or even spilling slightly. I am a careful pourer, but I can't get a clean pour for the life of me. Oh well, I always have a tea towel handy when pouring myself a cup to keep things tidy.
In conclusion, the Technoverm Moccamaster is one of my favorite possessions, but it is not made for the masses. This somewhat elitist appliance may, simultaneously make you feel proud and guilty. But, if you truly love good, simply made coffee, as I do (and have deepish pockets); the pride and guilt will pass, and you will be left with a coffee experience you can savor for a lifetime.

If you’re on the fence about buying this coffee maker, don’t be. It was worth the investment! It’s held up strong after daily use, with sometimes multiple times a day. The only thing I recommend is using a cleaning solution to run through it once every 6 months. They sell cleaning solution pretty affordable. You can find it at your local grocery store cleaning aisle or just order a bottle off Amazon. This makes sure to clean out all the mineral deposits and gunk that runs through it. I recommend doing it with any and all coffee makers regardless.
I’ve waited some time before writing this review, as I wanted to test my MoccaMaster Coffee Brewer out this Thanksgiving when I had family at my house, who are all BIG time coffee drinkers. I’m more than pleased to say that it was the rave of the Turkey Day party! Everyone wanted another cup of coffee.
When Covid first hit, my local Bodega who sells THEE best coffee with their commercial brewer, shut down temporarily. I am a creature of habit that spent $3.00 a day buying 2 cups of coffee a day religiously! Considering I had broken my 3rd coffee pot in less than a 3 year period, I didn’t mind because I would just go down the street to get my cup of morning joe. Well Covid had something else in mind when I found myself barely able to function and literally ready to rip someone’s head off without being able to go buy my coffee. So I descended into hours upon hours of researching commercial coffee makers. I was on a mission to purchase one similar to the one the store has. But what I found was that they are not only extremely pricey, but they are bulky and just not made to sit on a countertop in a kitchen. Hence the reason they are “commercial coffee brewers”. hahaha. However, I kept coming back to the highly reviewed MoccaMaster. I read every review thoroughly. I waited about 2 weeks before I could justify spending $300 on a freakin coffee maker but after adding the costs up of what I pay my local bodega per year in cups of coffee, I took the plunge. Boy I was not disappointed!
Although it may look fancy since I’ve never seen a coffee maker look the way the MoccaMasters do, I can assure you this coffee maker is as simplistic as it gets! The coffee gets hotter then any cup I’ve ever had, which is a huge selling point alone. But the fact that the company only manufactures and sells these coffee makers means that they’ve perfected the one product they sell and they back it with an impressive warranty. If something breaks, they will replace the part. This is a machine that should last 10+ years, if not a lifetime.
I suggest buying the model where the brew basket can close, open half way or open all the way. As I read some reviewers complaining about the grains not getting fully wet. I always start out my brew with the basket closed, will take a spoon and stir the hot water and grains before I open up basket to start pouring out.
Also, you will NEED to buy a grinder. I purchased one from Walmart for $15 and this little grinder works the bees knees. A fresh cup of incredible coffee starts with the beans and grinding them yourself is a must. I keep my beans in the freezer and have my grinder ready to go right before I brew a pot. I love that the glass pot is small with European measurements. It’s the perfect amount.
It will take some time to figure out how much coffee grains to water ratio, and that’s all depending on the beans you buy. But I have to say, Dunkin donuts Original Whole beans is still my favorite. I’ve tried many other beans and some of darker variety but I prefer a more light to medium cup and Dunks beans hit just right for me.
All in all, this was well worth the investment and it makes a great cup of coffee!

I’ve waited some time before writing this review, as I wanted to test my MoccaMaster Coffee Brewer out this Thanksgiving when I had family at my house, who are all BIG time coffee drinkers. I’m more than pleased to say that it was the rave of the Turkey Day party! Everyone wanted another cup of coffee.
When Covid first hit, my local Bodega who sells THEE best coffee with their commercial brewer, shut down temporarily. I am a creature of habit that spent $3.00 a day buying 2 cups of coffee a day religiously! Considering I had broken my 3rd coffee pot in less than a 3 year period, I didn’t mind because I would just go down the street to get my cup of morning joe. Well Covid had something else in mind when I found myself barely able to function and literally ready to rip someone’s head off without being able to go buy my coffee. So I descended into hours upon hours of researching commercial coffee makers. I was on a mission to purchase one similar to the one the store has. But what I found was that they are not only extremely pricey, but they are bulky and just not made to sit on a countertop in a kitchen. Hence the reason they are “commercial coffee brewers”. hahaha. However, I kept coming back to the highly reviewed MoccaMaster. I read every review thoroughly. I waited about 2 weeks before I could justify spending $300 on a freakin coffee maker but after adding the costs up of what I pay my local bodega per year in cups of coffee, I took the plunge. Boy I was not disappointed!
Although it may look fancy since I’ve never seen a coffee maker look the way the MoccaMasters do, I can assure you this coffee maker is as simplistic as it gets! The coffee gets hotter then any cup I’ve ever had, which is a huge selling point alone. But the fact that the company only manufactures and sells these coffee makers means that they’ve perfected the one product they sell and they back it with an impressive warranty. If something breaks, they will replace the part. This is a machine that should last 10+ years, if not a lifetime.
I suggest buying the model where the brew basket can close, open half way or open all the way. As I read some reviewers complaining about the grains not getting fully wet. I always start out my brew with the basket closed, will take a spoon and stir the hot water and grains before I open up basket to start pouring out.
Also, you will NEED to buy a grinder. I purchased one from Walmart for $15 and this little grinder works the bees knees. A fresh cup of incredible coffee starts with the beans and grinding them yourself is a must. I keep my beans in the freezer and have my grinder ready to go right before I brew a pot. I love that the glass pot is small with European measurements. It’s the perfect amount.
It will take some time to figure out how much coffee grains to water ratio, and that’s all depending on the beans you buy. But I have to say, Dunkin donuts Original Whole beans is still my favorite. I’ve tried many other beans and some of darker variety but I prefer a more light to medium cup and Dunks beans hit just right for me.
All in all, this was well worth the investment and it makes a great cup of coffee!

I’ve gotten over the sticker shock and am quite happy with the machine. If you can handle the price I’d say go for it!
