The KBGT does everything I expected it to do at this price. The design is simple and the control is even easier (it's either on or off...). Most importantly: the coffee is hot, delicious, and consistent every time. I'm also using a Baratza Virtuoso grinder, with the setting at 18.

Best coffee maker I’ve ever had. This is my second one in 7 years. The old one still worked great but this time I wanted the thermos. Easy to clean and simple design. Rated #1 by Cooks Illustrated Magazine.

We have had this model (very similar) for over 4 years and it always impresses our frinds and family. Makes great coffee - everytime. We use a burr grinder and good RO water. Amazing results that people talk about and remember.

Over the years we've had drip coffee makers, old school percolators, and Keurig. Tried everything from Folgers to grinding our own beans. This coffee maker produces the best coffee we've ever had (alternate between whole bean and ground coffee).

This is our second one of the same make because we love it. After 5 years, I had not descaled and the old maker stopped working. No question, we wanted the same again. Husband researched which to buy, the Technivorm brews at the right temp. and stays hot in the carafe for a long enough time.

The coffee maker is a perfect for our needs. It looks great in the kitchen and brews quickly and quietly. While more expensive than other machines, the design makes it impossible to have overflows, leaks or other coffee spill mishaps. Makes a perfect brew every time.

This is truly the best coffee maker. My husband makes coffee every morning and we love the consistent taste from this Moccamaster! We do grind the beans each morning and clean the coffee maker on a regular basis.

  Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Speed, stainless steel pot

this is a pretty simple coffee maker, and makes a decent cup of coffee. the thermal carafe lip is too wide and too sharp, and the plastic coffee basket is a bit low quality compared to the rest of the unit. these are small issues, overall woukd highly recommend.

Like it a lot. Keeps coffee very hot for a long time with the cap closed. Took a few minutes to see how components click in place but close fitting parts is indicative of better design and quality control. Excellent coffee, simple operation.

Best coffee maker I’ve ever owned. Worth every penny!
