Coffee On The Go
Every stainless steel, double-walled Moccamaster carafe comes with two lids. With the Brew-Thru lid in place, you can brew and pour your coffee, minimizing heat loss. On the go? Switch to the travel lid and enjoy hot coffee wherever your day takes you.


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.

A Truly Great Coffee Machine

- Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2025Color: Polished SilverStyle: Coffee BrewerVerified PurchaseA 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.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2022Color: Polished SilverStyle: Coffee BrewerVerified PurchaseI'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.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Color: Polished SilverStyle: Coffee BrewerVerified PurchaseWorth it! I am pretty picky about my coffee, and I have been through every kind of coffee maker. This really makes the perfect cup of coffee. I am so glad I finally gave in to buying this one, as I have had my eye on it for some time. I am also used to having a timer set on my coffee so it is ready when I wake up, and I was a little concerned about not having one, but this machine is so quick that it doesn't bother me at all to have to turn it on when I wake up. A problem I have come across with every other coffee maker, is a burnt taste from heating to high or the warmer plate causing a burnt taste...this machine heats it perfectly and I love not having the warming plate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blind Taste Test - Who Knew The Machine Makes Such a Difference!

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars What took me so long. Worth every cent
Color: Polished SilverStyle: Coffee BrewerVerified PurchaseI got this machine last week, yeah really pricey. I looked into this machine a few years ago, but the price scared me a bit.
I have been through so many other high end machines, Bunn - Junk, Brazen - Bigger Junk. They sound so wonderful with such great features and then they break down because they are too complicated. The Bunn didn't even work when I got it, and my friend had the same experience. We both replaced them 3 times and eventually gave up. the Brazen lasted 2 months and started making half amounts.
What I really love about this machine is all the great features it has. Which features you ask? Exactly. OK enough riddles. It has no features. Does what it is supposed to do, make a fantastic cup of coffee, quickly and cleanly. The more features, the more can go wrong, especially with mass produced products.
This product is hand made by the way.
Nothing to clean up after. Coffee is piping hot. Coffee made in minutes, and even looks great making it. Simple to make. Pour water, put coffee, turn switch. Drink yummy coffee.
The only criticism I could make is the fact that the carafe could be a little better designed. Maybe a bit of a funnel for the coffee to direct through. The lid for the carafe could also have a release switch so you don't have to take it off every time you pour.
I can't see what can go wrong with this machine to be honest. It's so simple.
