Technivorm Moccamaster Classic KB741AO

Reliable machine, had it for many years, simple to use
Have been making a full pot of coffee on this machine at home, with ground coffee beans, for many years. Machine still works perfectly and makes consistently beautiful coffee. Coffee is always hot and stays hot for about 40 minutes.

Excellent machine and important to my coffee offering
I’ve had a pastel green classic in my cafe for some time now. It works well alongside a tried and tested Grand 1.8L. Our barista team rate the coffee and ease of use.
I find the classic pretty forgiving and consistent and that’s important because we run several specialty batch brews each day. The set and forget process is actually a real help alongside our main espresso offering. Once the grind is set there’s little more to worry about.
The approach behind these machines is solid. The engineers have worked out how to optimise the brew and that makes it simple. Have tried other main stream consumer brands and they don’t cut it under pressure in the same way the classic does.
Purchased in at moccamaster for $450.

Hi Andrew
We appreciate you have taken the time to review the Moccamaster Classic, thank you so much. ...
Read more Your feedback is much appreciated and we’re pleased you find the machines consistent, easy to use and that they form an important part of your coffee offering in your cafe. We remember when you came in to the showroom to purchase your machines and we look forward to welcoming you back again. Happy brewing and thanks again for your review. Josephine Moccamaster ANZAfter 10 years, here's the verdict.
As a barista with 10 yrs experience in the industry I have a long experience with the Moccamaster. I've owned one at home for several years and used them in commercial settings plenty as well. I've seen the Moccamaster work from a humble, once a week home drip coffee machine to a full blown commercial specialty coffee tool and a workhorse of the third wave coffee industry.
Here's the issues.
No matter what you say to the contrary Technivorm, your machine does NOT moisten the grounds consistently, you ABSOLUTELY need to stir to achieve good imm...

Thank you for your comments.
As you mention, the machines are independently approved to exacting test criteria which also includes saturation of the grounds. Sorry to hear it does not meet with your expectations. ...
Read more Our experience is that we get a perfectly good cup of coffee and have received many positive comments to this effect over the years, including many from within the specialty coffee industry. Sorry you are unhappy with the product.And this right here, my friends, is exactly why it's time to move on and say goodbye to the Moccamaster for good. NO SUPPORT, NO ADVICE, just "you are wrong."
"It makes a perfectly good cup of coffee"...
Read moreThis is correct is does make a good cup of coffee, however can it make an excellent coffee? No. Can this machines end product justify the hours of planning, growing, picking, processing, trading, grading, cupping, roasting and packaging that go into a third wave specialty coffee? Not any longer. As expected, the official line is "nothing wrong with it" if it makes a perfect cup of coffee then there is absolutely no reason to listen to years worth of customer feedback. There is no incentive to change, to grow with the developing industry. No reason to push things forward to the horizons of coffee brewing. It's time for the Moccamaster to belong in the museum not in the kitchen and certainly not on the bar at a specialty coffee establishment. We are witnessing the final days of an industry icon. I too am sorry I'm unhappy with the product but more so I am unhappy with the lack of support and commitment from Technivorm. Those who wish to push the boundaries of coffee will rise to take thier place.- 11 reviews

Perfect Koffie
Very happy with the Moccamaster. It brews at the perfect temperature and is also quick and quiet. I much prefer using the Moccamaster to pod machines. It is easier to clean and maintain.
It is an expensive initial cost but I feel it will last longer than other brand pod coffee machines we’ve purchased over the years - it’s 2 years old now and hasn’t missed a beat.
The machine is solid and well made in The Netherlands - built to last.
Hi We couldn’t be happier.

Very good
One of the best filter machines available. Missed out on 5 stars because of a widely known problem that’s never been fixed - the water doesn’t hit the coffee evenly. You must stir manually once or twice to have proper extraction.

Read morelty Coffee Association to a very strict criteria which does not include stirring. Some people stir the grounds and like to “tweak” their brews and experiment with different extraction times and different coffees for different results, however an optimum cup, with the correct extraction, is achieved without stirring the coffee bed on a Moccamaster. We would be happy to send you the criteria which the ECBC use to test the machines and how they arrive at approving a machine. Moccamaster has had their stamp of approval for many years now. Please contact us at info@nordcoffee.com.au and we will be happy to provide you with this information. Thank you.Thank you for your response. Most of my brewing is manual using V60.

Flimsy
Makes great coffee. Beware the thin, flimsy glass jug which slipped in my hand while washing it in the sink and shattered! Replacement one is very expensive. Wouldn't buy this machine again just for that reason. I will get the Breville with stainless steel jug!

It's perfect, best coffee!
The moccamaster is the best purchase ever! So easy to use, easy to clean and makes an absolutely delicious coffee. It's good to see that when you go to cafes around Victoria they are also using the moccamaster, which proves it's a great machine! I wasn't a coffee lover until I purchased this machine, now I use it every day!

So worth it
Bought this Moccamaster off the back of a very unhappy Nespresso experience - I know, I know... - and two years on, I couldn't be happier with it.
It's quick and quiet - and best of all, makes a very hot, rich and flavoursome coffee - not to mention easy to clean and low-maintenance.
I'm (still) a coffee ignoramus, but my friends aren't, and they love the coffee it makes. Meanwhile I'm just happy to enjoy a great cup of coffee that pretty much makes itself while I'm still waking up, and quietly.
This is one of only a handful of drip m...
Read moreachines that coffee experts rate as highly as the great espresso makers, which comes in handy when you're in a cafe needing advice about bean varieties and the staff ask you what type of machine you use. Like a few of the other reviewers, I bought it direct from the Australian Technivorm distributers, Nordcoffee. They were very patient when I called, and answered all my enquirers. Oh, and the Moccamasters come with a five year warranty as standard.- Date Purchased

Best of the Best
After doing my research well I decided to purchase the well reviewed Technivorm Moccamaster. More pricey than the competition, the company has a reputation of building quality machines made to last and support them with a 5 year warranty. While not strong on the whizz bang fancy features this beautiful machine makes the best coffee, super fast and piping hot. I couldn't be more impressed.

Rolls Royce of drip filters
Had ours for about a year now and reckon this is as good as drip filter coffee makers get. Having friends with various brands of drip filter coffee makers(Sunbeam and Breville), my biggest complaint was always coffee not being hot enough out of the machine, considering I drink it black you would expect it to be hot so if you added milk it would have to be pre-heated first.
I ended up getting a bit pedantic about the whole thing and stuck a thermometer in the brewing stage and the glass coffee pot of the Moccamaster, an old Sunbeam we still ha...

Excellent coffee machine.
I purchased the Moccamaster after our old Sunbeam drip filter coffee maker died. Not satisfied with reviews on the cheaper drip filters on the market I wanted a good quality one that won't die after warranty expires. I found a supplier just 5 minutes from me and decided to investigate. The unit is simple to use, fast and very quiet. Unlike my old Sunbeam, it gives me the full 10 cups of coffee. My Sunbeam would lose so much water (through steam) that I'd only ever end up with 9 cups instead of the 10 cups of coffee I wanted. The Moccamaster as ...
Read morean auto shut off which is handy when I forget to switch if off. It also has an adjustable flow button on the filter so coffee ground to steep longer if only making 2-6 cups. The heating plate keeps coffee at 80 degrees (yes, I have confirmed this) so no need to "nuke" coffee anymore. The water well has a removable lid so very easy to fill with a jug or pull out sink tap as we have. Down side..doesn't have a timer so I can't set it to switch on itself. It's a well built and designed unit with a 5 year warranty which was a big drawer card. We're very happy with it. It's pricey but you get what you pay for.Find out how Technivorm Moccamaster Classic KB741AO compares to other Drip Coffee Machines

Surprisingly Speedy, Excellent Coffee
Not a cheap machine to buy ( Won the US award for best coffee maker in the world ) and like all coffee makers, if you put rubbish beans in then rubbish coffee comes out . That said, hard to beat for getting great coffee and amazingly quick from start to finish. Highly reccommended after trying 6 other coffee makers in the last 10 years this, finally is the one and unlike the dreaded capsule maker machines you get a BIG serving of full flavoured coffee and you can regulate the strength .
Moccamaster Delicious!
I have been using the technivorm moccamaster for about a year now and i can't fault it!
It is consistently smooth every time and makes a gorgeous, satisfying cup in less than two minutes. In the morning, i really appreciate how quick and easy it is to use!
I have stopped drinking espresso now as i prefer the smooth flavour of the drip filter coffee.
It is great to have access to delicious coffee so easily at home; i found the pricing affordable and overall good value- I have used cheaper models in the past and been quite dissatisfied wi...

Can these be bought in Australia
Yes, absolutely. I bought mine from the Nord Coffee Au site but there are other Australian sites selling them.
Yes, but only a couple of models are available in Australia compared to the US and Europe and prices vary greatly so shop around online we found them from $389 up to $499 either with the glass carafe or the S/S Thermo carafe.
Does anyone know where to buy in Australia?
The distributor is Nordcoffee, www.nordcoffee.com.au. Webshop or re-sellers around Australia.
Yup, I bought ours from www.nordcoffee.com.au , quick delivery, cofffee excellent.
Kevin Goodwin
I bought from the Aussie distributors Nordcoffee (in Perth) as well, and spoke to the very helpful and patient Lars before buying. I think Campos cafes sell them as well - have a look at the resellers listed on nordcoffee.com.au. Quick delivery too.
