Can never get enough of Lisa’s no nonsense pure informational videos. Thank you!

Lisa is the best. Seriously. I can’t explain it.

I bought a Technivorm MoccaMaster 3 years ago based on your video then ....and use it 1 - 2 times a day and never disappointed.

A great descaling indicator is using your last coffee filter from the box of 100. That's what I've been doing with my Technivorm and it works well to remind me to decale!

The Zojirushi is a great machine! Great coffee from a simple machine. Fast, no mess, and a workhorse! Going strong after about 8 years.

You have no idea how timely this is. More coffee vids please!

This is absolutely the best test review I have seen out of the 85 reviews that I went through in the past couple of days. Short and straight to the point and you covered all the gimmicks too! Thank you for the hard work!

I’ve been using the zorjirushi for a couple of months now! So excited to see this machine on the review! Coffee comes out great!

We’ve been using THE Zojirushi Zutto 5-cupper daily for about 20 years now! Well designed, compact, easy peasey morning brews! Love it! Fwiw, Some other Zojirushi appliances are clever designs that work well for years, but in midwestern USA, shopping for these clever ideas can be challenging. Happy New Year all!

Lisa and the Equipment Review series represent the best of what ATK/CI/CC has to offer. Seriously, she is what hooked me on ATK!

Just wanted to thank you so much for putting this together! My wife and I watched this and decided to get an Oxo at our local store so we could conduct our own head-to-head competition between our ol' reliable Keurig - nothing as thorough as ATK of course. We used a whole bean medium roast whole bean from our grocery store - private label (nothing special) and ground at home on a medium setting. Results: Keurig brewed immediately because it started preheating water as soon as we turned it on (before hitting brew) while the Oxo didn't start heating the water/brewing until we told it to start. While we didn't start a timer, there was a definite edge for Keurig brewing faster and honestly a big convenience factor that we have enjoyed for years! The Oxo will brew all the water you put in the chamber. While good to control the amount brewed, it is inconvenient to have to measure out and fill it each time. Aroma of each cup was similar. Taste is where was a CLEAR WINNER: Keurig was bitter while the Oxo had a very smooth taste. We CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH - it was like a COMPLETELY different cup of coffee! Result: While there are some big convenience factors going for Keurig, we are keeping the Oxo purely based on the fact that it tastes SO MUCH BETTER. Now we are going to explore some of the pricier coffees because we are going to be able to taste the difference.

I've been enjoying these coffee maker review videos for almost a decade now. Great explanations and excellent delivery. Nice job!

The timing could not be more perfect. I was looking for a new coffee machine for Christmas!! Thank you Lisa and AmTK

I so enjoy Americas test kitchen videos! Keep the coming. 😀

We have had our Technivorm for just over 10 years and it still makes the best coffee. We love it!

I've owned and loved my Zojirushi machine for ten years. It works beautifully and makes outstanding coffee that competes with just about any pourover a non-pro is likely to make. The glass carafe is not a problem; my coffee never gets scorched. My only gripe is that the machine can only make about 20oz of coffee at a time, which is enough for me but not enough to serve guests. Still, at a small fraction of the Technivorm price, it's a steal.

I got a Moccamaster based on the last review you did and it has been a delight! Thanks, team -- as my daily driver, it's a joy to watch those bubbles for my kids, and the coffee is perfect every single time.

Thorough as usual. As a coffee roaster I highly recommend the Moccamaster. We have never had a customer return one. In fact we get calls about how impressed they are. I will also say the KBGT with glass carafe and hot plate is still a great choice. The hot plate rolls on and off as not to overheat the coffee. It’s important to me that it maintains great flavor. Great job on the extensive testing. I will be directing people to this video.

This was spot on. A staple in many Norwegian households for many years is the moccamaster. Still brewing excellent coffee after almost 20 years. Veldig bra!!!!!

We bought a Technovorm a few years ago based on a previous America's Test Kitchen review. It makes great coffee, just as good as the manual Clever Coffee Dripper from Sweet Maria's that we had been using previously but with a lot less effort.

9 years into my first mocamaster and it’s stilll going strong! Love it.

I love your reviews, more than any of the other staff. You have always presented a confidence in me watching yours. Thank you.

I have the Zojirushi and love it. My spouse doesn't drink coffee, so I only need to make a few cups for myself. Definitely the best small coffee maker out there!

I have been using the OXO 8-cup for about a year and I love it. The only downside I have found is that some coffee (maybe an ounce or two) is left in the carafe and hard to pour out because of the lip at the top. Otherwise it's pretty much perfect for 1-2 people ("8 cups" is more like 4 cups in practice). Edit: 2024 and I still love it. I use it almost every day.

We've owned our Technivorm for almost 15 years and it performs as well today as the first day we bought it.

I recently purchased the Technivorm, more as a holdover until my superautomatic machine ships this spring. William Sonoma had this model on sale for 229$. Great purchase! I rarely make a full pot but, I am able to get a great smooth cup consistently in roughly 3 mins. Cleanup is a breeze. This machine is an ace in my book. I use the Breville Precision Grinder and have found that the dosing using the on-screen measurements is slightly off so, dosing 2 grams more usually is the sweet spot for the bean I use most frequently. I have also found that pre-wetting gives me the best extraction when using the paper filter.

Love how you brought science into coffee making, two of my favorite things!! Thanks so much for this, I've never been a fan of drip coffee because it just tasted off to me but I still enjoyed watching.

Remarkably comprehensive review. Thanks, Lisa!

I did some research and thinking on budget last year when i went to buy an SCA-rated brewer and ended up getting the Oxo 8-cup. It’s great to see it made the top choices here! Been loving mine.

I love coffee and I love Bunn coffee makers...........tried a few fancier ones over the years and always go back to Bunn!

This is the video I've been waiting for. Great stuff. Keep up the good work.

Great review. I just bought the Oxo a couple days ago based on reviews and looks like I made a good choice. Thanks!

Thank you for all of your hard work! This is so informative and helpful ❤

The moccamaster has been a home staple in Norwegian homes since the 70s. Some of the really old ones are still going in some places, getting some help from the local water being really soft. The Moccamaster is as close you can get to timeless design when it comes to home appliances. The machine has basically looked exactly the same since the 70's, I've grown up seeing these things in so many different kitchens and it has never looked out of place.

Another excellent presentation from Lisa. Thank you, I now know how to proceed.

We splurged for the Technivorm a few years ago and love it. It’s fast, good, and consistent!

I am so glad you listed the Zojirushi! I bought one last fall at Crate and Barrel, because I have limited countertop space. The salesman highly recommended it, but I was skeptical considering the price. I am pleased to say it consistently brews excellent coffee and it does so quickly. It's also easy to clean. It replaced my Bonavita, which I do not miss one bit.

I've had my MoccaMaster for 10 years. Never failed to produce a real good cup. Descaler used 2-3 times a year. I have never had a coffee maker last nearly as long. The thermal carafe is the way to go. If it breaks down tomorrow I'll buy the same one.

I took a chance and got the Bunn Heat N Brew coffee maker. It's their attempt at a "traditional" drip maker and I couldn't be happier. Makes a really excellent cup of coffee.

You are wonderful for making this video. I love coffee and am done with crappy Kurig coffee. It was often sour and not hot enough. I now use an insulated French Press.

Bought a Mr. Coffee recently for under $20 with a stainless steel basket and could not be any happier!

Love seeing the coffee pot I bought for my office in one of their "Things we didn't like" montages!

I've been needing and looking for a new drip coffee maker. I just ordered the OXO 8 Cup. Thanks ATK and Lisa!

Great information! And the testing is very structured and consistent. I am a bit disappointed there wasn't a Bunn tested. I've had two and they perform very well and will last 10 years plus.

We bought an 8-cup OXO, as reviewed here. Great coffee. I called with a minor problem, and the OXO customer service was outstanding.

I’ve been using the 9-cup Oxo (not tested here, but similar to the runner up) for about seven years. It’s been a reliable machine that still makes great tasting coffee every morning. Oxo support was also very helpful when a part was damaged after a move. My personal ratio is 450ml water to 28g of grounds.

I bought the Technivorm Moccamaster with thermal carafe almost two decades ago because it won a taste test Wine Spectator did (12/02) on coffee makers and it's still considered the best today in this test. Pricey, but it makes some great coffee fast (higher wattage than most) and yes, it's durable. 👍

I have had a Technivorm single cup for a number of years….fantastic. Well made, high quality and consistent every time. One quirk is its brew basket drip hole…purposely small, can clog if not maintained.

Was fine with my cheap one, but now I’m considering upgrading my coffee game. Coffee is an essential part of my daily routine and I love it

I've used a Technivorm Moccamaster for more than a decade now. Best money ever spent, still works as well today as it did when I first bought it.

This is the first and only video I need to see to buy my next coffee maker.

i have the moccamaster recommended, plus the one-cup version. both are amazing, for the same exact reasons they mention, especially the simplicity. I also love how quickly they heat up the water. Flavor is great, which is obvious. They are both built like tanks with simplicity, with very little things to break, so sure to last a long time.

I have had my technivorn for over 15 years and I love it. It is the best

Bought the OXO and have been pleased. I look forward to my morning cup even more now.

I’m so glad this channel exists.

Being a coffee lover, I love these reviews when they come out.........I still have my Bonivita from years ago but I guess theres a new alternative in OXO.......OXO has been a industry leader since they came into play.......Its good to see that a cup is 8ozs and not 5.......64 oz reservoir is perfect!!!

Thank you for doing all this hard work for us, so we don’t have to 👍👍🙏🙏🙏👌👌

I use either my Keurig for a quick brew into my travel cup for coffee on the go or if I've got time then I heat water and use my French press.

just what I was looking for... Thank you for you this :)

We have had a Technavorn Moccamaster for 12 years!!! Best coffee maker out there.

I've had the Zojirushi model for several years now and still give it 2 thumbs up!

Great review, thanks for this!

I wish Zojirushi would bring some of their smaller Japanese model coffee makers to the US. They're extremely compact, but just what I need without breaking the bank for a Technivorm one cup. I have a V60, but sometimes I just feel lazy.

The best coffee maker I've ever used is a pre-electricity design called a vacuum maker. Designed about 200 years ago, they were all the rage as wedding gifts back in the 40s and 50s. By the early 2000s, when I discovered them, they were very popular yard sale items. Many unopened boxes, brand new 50 year old items. All glass design means zero chemical interaction with a copper filter basket, loss of oils to a paper filter or any kind of pH change to discrepant metal contact. It works on the stove top and brews the coffee at a consistent 202deg. and makes a really good cup from even cheap grinds. What it does with high quality grinds is simply magic.

Couldn’t agree more. We have two of these Technivorme coffee makers, including their grand size. Best coffee ever.

Bought the Oxo about a year ago and am very happy with the taste and temp of the coffee. I hesitated on purchasing because it lacked a timer, but then read that the brew cycle was short. It is really fast, about 6-8 min. So start the brew and collect your breakfast or lunch items and come back to a finished pot. I echo the kudos on the pot's ergonomics and ease in cleaning. Esp important is that I can fit my hand inside to scrub the sides and bottom and so the pot does not collect any coffee residue, which also is important to taste. ATK, can you review coffee descalers and their various active ingredients? I'm a devoted fan of Bar Keepers Friend, and when I saw they offered a descaler product, I bought it after reading that my normal vinegar and water was not recommended. It's very pricey ---approx $8 bottle for 2.5 cleanings. It does a good job, but am I overpaying?

I just bought the Moccamaster with the glass carafe. Can't wait to use it.

I have the techivorm MM. What I found out after it was in my house was: I could not use my RO water. I buy spring water now and it’s totally worth it. 😊

great video i had the 3rd machine and it never worked well from the start,never kept coffee hot and took forever to brew but i might have had a bad unit!very good video!

Thanks for the review! I put the Bonavita from the previous review on my wedding registry and have used it almost every day since it arrived! If it ever breaks on us, we'll be glad to get the Technivorm instead. Also, do you need any extra engineers running thermocouple data back there? As an R&D food engineer myself, I had to admit that coming up with that statistical test design sounded like a lot of fun. :D

Wow! Great information! Thank you!

Only America's Test Kitchen can be trusted for recommended buys. They truly take testing to a new level. Thx guys BTW, I would NEVER spend over $300 for a coffee maker. But thx anyways for the effort.

LOVE my Moccamaster! I have one with the glass carafe because I only make enough for one 20 oz cup in the morning. I now rarely get coffee while I am out. I prefer my own (La Colombe Nizza). It is one of my absolute favorite kitchen appliances. Thank you for clearing up my question on coffee filters. I will continue getting their filters.

Well done! Thank you for the info!

Good rule of thumb: Descale every time you go through a box of filters

Bought the zutto after this review and love. Great small brewer!

You must love the ice with salt method for cleaning coffee pots.

We have two coffee makers, a Wolf automatic drip that was horribly expensive, we use it on the weekdays when we don't have time to fuss with coffee, it has an automatic on / off switch, our "weekend" coffee maker is the Technivorm Mocccamaster KBT, we love it and we can tinker around with different coffees and controlling the grounds. We recently started changing the grind we use; making it courser and it has improved the taste of our coffee regardless of which coffee maker we use. We have also started measuring the beans before grinding, and that seems to have helped also. This is our 2nd Moccamaster, really love this product.

0:46 Love that you shout out the SCA (not THAT SCA, the other SCA) and recognize that they've done a great job figuring out what most people look for in coffee.

Very helpful! Thank you!

One thing worth noting: I have the oxo 8-cup and love it, but the carafe took a little trip to the dump by accident and oxo does not sell a replacement unit for this maker. Not a big deal for me since I can just brew right into a mug or travel thermos. I have seen used replacement units on eBay for 45-50 bucks

YES! The mocha master is the king! The best: every single part you touch you can replace.

Huge help. Well done.

❤️❤️❤️❤️ needed this review

ATK Coffee Corner, please. We love all the in-depth testing.

I have tried so many different coffee makers and always go back to the electric percolator. Just cant beat it.

Not a coffee drinker.. Love your presentation.. Salutations from California

I have owned my Moccamaster for 8 years now. Just keep it clean and it will serve you well forever.

Another positive vote for the Technivorm. We have had ours for close to 15 years and it's still plugging along nicely. It's not going to win and industrial design awards, but the design is simple and straightforward.. The UI on the Technivorm is an ON-OFF switch. You can't get simpler than that. lat but not least, it make noticeably better coffee that the cheaper coffeemakers. I would not have believed it until I bought one of these things.

Great work!

Bought the technivorm based on your recommendation about 10 years ago & I love it. It makes a great brew. My only gripe as a single guy is the 1/2 brew option(half moon) doesn’t work very well. It clogs & produces an over extracted m, bitter mess. On full (full moon) it always does great!!

I love this videos so much. Basically, I dont buy anything that was not recommended here. Do you have recommendations for a coffee maker with grinder included?

Excellent video. Thanks.

I have a Technivorm with a glass carafe. The heating plate on that machine does not scorch the coffee. It's nice and hot until it shuts itself off, which is about an 1 hr and 20 minutes from the start of brew time.

We love our 5 year old Technivorm Moccamaster!

We have had the Technivorm since we first read about it in Cook's Illustrated (around 2010). It's such a beast and still great, but it seems to have trouble brewing a whole pot as it seems to clog up the filter. We use a fairly coarse grind (the Oxo burr grinder) but have had issues. We replaced the basket about 7 years ago. Also, I heard a tip to place the fold of the cone filter away from the hole in the basket. We usually do 7 cups (about 32 fl oz), but the full 10 cups (45 fl oz) can be problematic, so I split it up into two batches.

Big fan of the bonavita, simple, easy to use and makes good coffee!

I have owned a Technivorm Mocamaster coffee maker for the past 10 years. it makes a consistently delicious cup of coffee -- better than a coffee house. I highly recommend it. I always say the best cup of coffee in the DC metro area is in my kitchen. It's well worth the price.

Been using a Moccamaster for the past ten years. Can confirm it makes the best coffee.

I would like them to do a segment on percolators. They make the best coffee to me!
