KBGT Select

I have the mochamaster. I personally think it's overhyped

So if you’re okay with a V60 / Chemex (the lack of automation, extra effort and time needed) then don’t get a Moccamaster tbh, it’s not worth it. Don’t get me wrong, I love mine a lot, but I was thinking about this the other day and that’s my conclusion. If you’re in the market for -specifically- a filter coffee machine, then a moccamaster is a great option

I also have a KBG select and extremely rarely brew more than 250 ml at a time. Tbh, it’s a really solid cup. Just slightly adjust the grind size.

Curious as to why? (Moccamaster user and it really matches the hype)

Based on your requirements, a Moccamaster seems like the best fit. Specifically the Optio or the KBGV Select. If you make a lot of coffee at once, consider getting the thermal carafe version as that is far better at maintaining both heat and flavour. The glass version “cooks” the coffee on the hotplate, introducing weird flavours to the coffee over time. The thermal versions are often called Moccamaster Automatic Thermo in the EU/Nordics or KBGT/KBT in other naming. But it is significantly taller than the glass version. So my recommendation is to just buy a separate thermal carafe and pour from the glass container into that, which is what I do. I find the glass versions looks better as well. So: - Moccamaster Optio / KBGV Select - Optionally a thermal carafe (only if you brew large batches)

It still has plastic but I got a moccamaster kbgv select. The company’s website describes why they use some plastic in their design

+1 for moccamaster. Had mine two years now, it's excellent, easy to clean, and fully repairable. I went with the one that has a vacuum pot rather than a glass carafe.

This is the moccamaster I'm talking about. Love mine too. Although the wife and I manage to switch the basket off sometimes and make a mess.

I have the Moccamaster KBGV Select. Basically its like making a pour over grade coffee, but for 6-10 cups at a time. It brings the flavor out of the beans. The problem is if you buy cheap coffee beans, you can tell.
