On this channel we often review the cutting edge in coffee and espresso products. But today, we’re going back to our roots, and not only looking at a drip coffee maker, but an iconic one at that. The Moccamaster has been around since 1986, and is still handmade in the Netherlands, the way the founders intended. I enlisted the help of the Moccamaster KBGV Select coffe maker to brew coffee for a large group of friends up at a cottage this summer. So how did it perform? And is it all form and no function? In this review of the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select, we find out!

It should be noted that: only one model (the "Select") has the half-pot switch. On a positive side, other Moccamaster models do come with a thermal carafe instead of a hot plate. All Moccamasters have similar builds and internal parts, though. So there are options!

We are proud owners of a now 10 year old Moccamaster, And in those 10 years of being used at least once a day, not a thing broke or failed us, it just keeps on going like a champ, making one great batch of coffee after another, cheers ☕

Dude. I begrudgingly bought one of these a few months ago after my wife continuously complained I was taking too much time making pour overs. I spent years trying to perfect my pour over technique. I hate this machine for making me feel like I wasted years of my life. The coffee (on average) that it produces easily matches what I was producing with my Commandante and Orea V3. I can’t explain it. I do find that giving it a little stir during bloom can help with extraction. I also find that keeping the lid on during the brew is key. Other than that, it’s flawless. I hate that I love it so much. I echo all your sentiments. Great vid.

I own this coffee maker also and I love it. I have left coffee on the burner for up to half an hour and I did not notice much of a difference in the taste of the coffee like I have in other coffee makers. I have always felt like the thermo carafes change the taste of the coffee a little bit, but that’s just me. This makes the best drip coffee.

Hi from Malaysia! thanks for the awesome review! We use it at your cafe roastery too. Batch brews are not so popular in specialty coffee shops in Malaysia just yet and it has a negative perception on it. But we have been using this for close to 2 years now and boy are we happy to have it. What we were able to do with this tool was offer at wide range of single origin coffees to our customer, while still being able to charge them a afforadable price. As our barista do not have to be there constantly taking care of the brew unlike a traditional V60. It has so much more upside than downside. Everytime when our customer take the first sip for the mccomaster, they are pleasantly surprised by the brew quality. But I must admit that, there are certain coffees that are harder to extract, or more complex, does not do well with the mccamaster. Overall, this machine allows us to showcase our beans and single origin that we've roasted in an easy and simple manner. We might just have to do a review on it too :)
@Ramu-10 10 ай бұрын
I Highly agree. I generally do a V60 or an Aeropress but if we have guests over, I usually go with the Moccamaster. It's a solid brew and it doesn't feel like I'm "wasting beans". As a bonus, I don't have to stand in the corner meticulously trying to maximize extraction while guests/friends wait awkwardly. Though, I wonder how the Chemex Compares. That's the one I use for 3-6 people.

here in Finland the Moccamaster is a household stable you can find ANYWHERE, so i've had my fair share of experience with them aswell as growing to like the coffee it produces, much better than most popular batch brewing alternatives. They usually have a manual drip lock on the filter cone, which in my experience seems to never work properly for some reason so glad to see theres a model of this legendary brewer that seems to have upgraded the drip lock system. Like you said also, one of the things I dont like about it is the plastic peripherals that feel really cheap, even though they usually last pretty long regardless. I wish Moccamaster would make alternative peripherals in more premium materials to be purchased separately, for example. Great video as always, too!

Coffee quality👉 Precise grind weight 👉and very high temp make the best coffee brews. I agree about the hot plate but if you don't drink your coffee in 18 minutes (when it starts to become acidic) buy a better coffee, make a smaller batch or buy an insulted carafe. Cheers! ☕

Love your chanel. I bought my Breville Machine based on your review. I currently have a bonavita 8 cup coffee maker with a capresso burr grinder. I have been happy with this setup for a long time but recently feel myself not enjoying my coffee as much as I used to. Do you have any thoughts on whether or not I'd get a better taste experience with the Moccamaster? Also, do you think getting a fellow ode grider just for Drip is worth it vs my capresso infinity?
@LifestyleLab_ 7 ай бұрын
Thanks for tuning in! I would start with the grinder, as that is the BIGGEST determining factor to flavor in the cup. The ODE has been and still is my top recommendation in this category. I say pick yourself up a new grinder to use with the Bonavita, and go from there :)

Short testing period but you know what you’re looking for; I wouldn’t knock that. Also, there are plenty of great pour -overs that are on the thin plastic side, so I wouldn’t knock that either. Great real-world review and I’ll pick one up for holiday batch service. Thanks!
@HannesNitzsche 10 ай бұрын
I guess part of the reason for the thin/cheap/flimsy plastic parts is that they have low heat retention and thus don’t affect the coffee bed while brewing. I have been eyeing the moccamaster select for a while now as I’d also like to have a brewer for more than two people for when we have friends over. And it’s certainly still on the list, but for the time being we just got a 6-cup Chemex for its aesthetics and because it’s a relatively low-budget batch brewer.
@gordonspicer 9 ай бұрын
so would not really apply to their sturdy stainless steel carafe. Only complaint I have with it is No specific pouring spout for more directional use. Needs redesigning in this respect only. Are they listening to our valid quality control issues in Holland ? hmm, " resting on their laurels comes to mind" too much considering all the competion they face

This is actually the reason that I bought the Moccamaster. It performs very well for even a single cup brew due to the conical shape. Flatbed Brewers typically struggle a lot in that regard, but the Moccamaster is great. Even has the lower flow mode for small batches
@Muskokaloon 9 ай бұрын
I own two of these makers. I have tried everything, and this makes the most reliably great pot of coffee. Every time, and anyone, and I mean anyone can make it work. You are right about the quality of coffee is based on the beans. I know you didn't like the plastic, but if these parts were made of something else it adds costs in a place where you don't need too. The temp of the water is the miracle. And FAST. I had the thermal pot version, but really the hot plate is better. I also appreciate that you can get the parts. Yes it is fixable. Whether it is the pot or basket, it's available. I will not complain about the outrageous price of the pots in Canada, I think that is a market issue. I have dark blue and one in gold.

At 255 euros in Europe where they are made I certainly consider the machine expensive. Plastic quality is AN issue which the company has stubbornly refused to address. They are making a big mistake.

The pale pistachio colour is not even that bad. LOL I have spent a lot of time brewing various espresso based drinks and pour overs so I know what that feels like. While I got complimented I didn't really have much access to the conversation. Still fun to make that much coffee back to back. Batch brewing I have encountered has been pretty poor so it must have been the beans or may have been quite stale. Would have been interesting comparing it to a "current" batch brewer 🤔.

The "cups" are really only 125mL, so this unit fully maxed out will get 5 actual sized cups. I've used it plenty for single 250mL cups and it behaves really well. Flexibility to do large or small batches is actually why I got the Moccamaster in particular. As mentioned, it even has a switch to change the flow rate for small batches.

I switched from a Bonavita to a Moccamaster and my one complaint is that when I look at the coffee bed after it’s done brewing it just doesn’t look evenly extracted. There is a noticeable channel in the middle of the bed. I usually end up stirring initially and then agitating the grounds at certain points during the brew to get a more flat and even looking coffee bed. I don’t know if this has any impact on the results in the cup, but visually it just throws me off and the process ends up being more hands on than I was hoping. Anyone have the same issue?
@LifestyleLab_ 10 ай бұрын
As mentioned, at the beginning of the coffee quality section, there is definitely a noticeable issue with water distribution on the Moccamaster. Doing some agitation, or a swirl at the beginning of the brew definitely helps, and I find that grinding slightly finer to slow the flow is also beneficial.

Let us not forget that no two people have the same taste and will not agree on what is the best. For the past several months, I have brewed at least 15 different brands, med and dark. At the end of the brewing all those brands, The old fashion grocery store coffee Eight O'Clock med roast is some of the best tasting. How about that. I do like Blue Bottle and even Dunkin has some really good taste. Blackout coffee to me is over roasted and too bitter. Peet's med roast is also some really good coffee. I try to buy whole bean and not pre-ground. I have a company two mile from my house in Irmo South Carolina, Loveland. They have a nice coffee shop that and they roast the coffee.

One of the biggest problems I see is the amount of coffee most brands want you to use. Even my Breville says with a full pot of 60 oz, 12 scoops or over 100 grams.

I'm not whining, I'm just pointing out a common criticism. Kind of the point of a review 👍

Returned my Moccamaster. Does not feel like a $350 machine. Plastics are cheap feeling, the scoop, lid, and basket feels like they came out of a gundam play set. Mine broke after a day. Do not believe the hype, get a ratio 6 or something that doesn’t feel like it was manufactured by mega blocks.
