Moccamaster (Technivorm) - CDT Grand

Moccamaster CDT bratza esp and a pour over setup

I use a Moccamaster CDT Grand for some out and about coffee things. It works well, quality is good, only uses power when brewing, easy to maintain. Sometimes I run off a small Honda 2200 generator, but usually I have power. Overall though your concept is interesting and will offer different challenges than an espresso setup, but with this goal, though, it can help get your name out their and potentially set you up to grow in the future with lower initial investment.

As an owner of not one but three Moccamaster CDT Grand brewers, I lean towards thermal carafes as well in terms of flavor and durability, but I understand the glass carafe versions ranking higher simply because they also deliver and look prettier.

Really happy with the moccamaster cdt. Makes 1.8 liters or about 60 ounces. I like the thermal carafe over glass.

I have the one with the metal carafe and it has been going strong, probably about 10 years. I don't remember when I bought it but about that long ago and with daily use and routing cleaning I think it should outlast me. Also makes great coffee.

Glass carafe huh? I went for the thermal and am loving it so far. Worth taking a little extra time and doing a bloom on the weekends IMO. It vastly improves the taste for minimal effort. I wish it had an auto bloom setting.

Moccamaster all the way. I cringed at the $300+ price tag at first, but we are 6 years in and now I would not have it any other way. I do recommend the thermal carafe one. The jug does keep things warm for a good long time. A close friend lost a family home on account of a warmer left on (not MoccaMaster) that led to a fire.

I have a similar opinion to you. I got mine as a refurb, but overall, I feel like I hyped my Moccamaster up too much for too long to myself before I got one. I do like it and it does brew nice coffee and I'm sure it will last forever, but if I had paid full retail price, I may have had more buyers remorse. I like the look of the glass carafe machines more, but I wanted the thermal carafe.

I have a 15 year old moccamaster. It is indeed made in the Netherlands (Amerongen) makes a stellar cup of coffee and is a buy it for life item.

I'm aware, they asked where I bought it and that is indeed where I bought it 15 years ago. I think you can get it at the gourmet warehouse in Vancouver but I'm not sure what models they carry mine has the tall metal carafe.

1-2 pots a day get a mocamaster. They go on sale I think I got mine for 170 2 years ago. I got the thermal carafe one and just take the pot to my desk in the morning. A gripe I have is I have to fill it to the absolute brim to get 3 normal coffee cup out of each pot. If your household drinks a lot of coffee (4+ a day), get a used commercial BUNN. Those things will not only last decades but make really good coffee. The non commercial one is kind of meh. These are the best for cheapish coffee (Folgers, Maxwell House) but also better grounds. My personal preference is like BUNN made coffee better for daily drinking as I’m also a cheap ass and only use the good coffee 1-2x a week.
