You're not supposed to use citric acid with Moccamaster. It can leave a bad taste. A long blogpost in Finnish. A reddit post about the aftertaste Moccamaster's own cleaning guide: do not use (organic) descaling agents based on citric acid, as this results in a lasting bad taste of coffee because the

Do not use your coffee pot to refill the water reservoir for any coffee maker. Coffee is hydrophobic and despite looking clean that coffee pot likely has coffee oils on it. Perhaps you do a deep cleaning every time, but adding coffee oil to the internals of a coffee machine isn't a great idea. Despi

I bought a moccamaster a few years ago and long term i'm finding it a little... disappointing. Ultimately it looks cool but it's still just a drip coffee maker. It takes up a lot of counter space.

This is one question that doesn't seem to go away... Reddit has a serious hard on for the Technivorm Moccamaster, but I'm going to give you another recommendation - Bonavita.

First off: I understand it is a good coffee maker. The question the OP is really asking though is is it good enough to justify the premium I think at this point it may be trading on its name a little. There are a fair number consistent temp, shower head / multi-hole style drip, reliable, SCA certifi

Consumer reports had Cuisinart DCC-3200 as the top rated model with a 5 (out of 5) on brew performance. And this has Technivorms and Fellows on their list. Those get penalized on ease of use or ease of cleaning, or carafe handling, but also have 5 on their brew performance. I own the Cuisinart and w

He's got a water softening system. He's choosing to use well water to make coffee and he's destroyed on average, 1 Moccamaster per year through abuse and questionable maintenance for the past 4 years. And he alleges the manufacturer has poor build quality. I knew Technivorm had great customer servic
