What customers like about Technivorm Moccamaster 59691 KB

  • The machine brews very good coffee.
  • It runs quietly.
  • A flow-speed switch sets how strong the coffee is.
  • The water level markings are clear.
  • The plastic parts are BPA-free and easy to clean.
  • Overheat protection and automatic shutdown are built in.

What customers don't like about Technivorm Moccamaster 59691 KB

  • The all-metal build feels heavy on the counter.
  • Its look is an acquired taste, and some people find it odd.
  • There is no display, so the machine gives no status readout.
  • There is no adjustable coffee temperature.
  • There is no descaling program.

Verdict

Brewing is the reason to buy the Technivorm Moccamaster 59691 KB, a drip machine that makes very good coffee and runs quietly. Its 1475 W heater brings water up to brewing heat, and the 1.25 L tank makes a full pot. A flow-speed switch lets you set how strong the coffee is. Overheat protection and automatic shutdown are built in. The plastic parts are BPA-free and easy to clean, and the water level markings are clear. The trade-off is the build. It is all metal, so it feels heavy on the counter, and the look divides people: some find it looks like a science experiment. There is no display and no adjustable temperature. It suits someone who wants a plain drip machine for good everyday coffee and does not care much about gadgets.
