Funny I just came here to research coffee machines because my 15yo MoccaMaster given to me by my mom makes very meh coffee. Anyone have tips on what I could be doing wrong? I probably need to descale, I am guessing it has never been descaled in its lifetime.

I've been using the glass one for 5 years now and I've given it a fair share of accidental bumps and whacks into the counter top or the sink and have had no issues. Glass quality for a coffee machine isn't thicker=better If you feel yours has a manufacturing defect, contact customer support and get it replaced.

Moccamaster is the answer

Theyre great! And still designed to be easily repairable. They also make a way better cup of coffee.

I have the glass carafe and thats what I would recommend. Some people prefer the stainless carafe with no heater but I like the glass. You can also find them on sale quite often.

There's no mental gymnastics involved if you care about a better end product. If coffee is just a 'cup of jo' for you then you probably won't care enough about the difference

The process is the same but a Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) certified brewer like the MM will be closer to ideal conditions for brewing, water temp and time, per Americas Test Kitchen most cheap brewers tend to miss by a wide margin. That said, if you are happy, no need to spend hundreds on the hope of something you might like better

This, I went from Arrowpress to MM because I wanted simpler. I you are willing to give up obsessing over every detail, you will love it.

Any SCA certified brewer, like the MM, will make great coffee, but they are all pricer. The MM adds a simple design and repairability that makes it BIFL. Copper heating elements, etc. It’s an investment but worth it

Well besides lasting forever, it was the first coffee maker to be gold cup certified and basically until breville made a copy, the only consumer coffee maker one to be.

They do go on sale, but you can also install the capital one shopping extension, view the product on Amazon, and check for competing offers from other retailers. I got an offer from abt electronics for like $215 during last year's holiday season. I've also seen lightly used MMs on FB marketplace for 150ish. If youre gifting, get the glass carafe--its much easier to clean and coffee stays plenty hot. Good luck!

I have the glass one. It's very easy to use and clean.
