    Technivorm Moccamaster 59462 KBG Coffee Brewer, 40 oz, Black

    • Second arrived un-damaged but the hot plate switch didn't work
    • Making a lower than expected review because after only 3 months of very light use (1 pot a day), the warmer plate coating has already become very scratched and rough.
    • We leave the hot plate on the low setting, and that works fine

    • We leave the hot plate on the low setting, and that works fine
    • There are two switches, one for on/off, and one to adjust the temperature of the hot plate
    • One is for brewing the other is to make the plate stay hot and keep the coffee warm
    • That's better than leaving the coffee on the hot plate
    • There are two switches, one for on/off, and one to adjust the temperature of the hot plate
    • The other things I'll say about it: that percolator arm comes off for easy cleaning, the simple controls (on/off and high/medium hot plate) are nice solid rocker switches.
    • That's better than leaving the coffee on the hot plate
    • Unless I have the carafe perfectly centered on the warming plate the coffee will not drip straight in to the downspout in the carafe.
    • First, it had a hot plate and a glass carafe.
    • I love the color and really like the pot and warming plate
    • Having used many pots, I've never seen the hot plate so damaged so quickly
    • The coffee stays good even if I don't drink it right away, the warmer plate keeps it at the perfect temperature.
    • I give it 4 stars only because the hot plate on low can still burn the coffee if you leave it on for too long.
    • We leave the hot plate on the low setting, and that works fine
    • We leave the hot plate on the low setting, and that works fine
    • Somehow it condenses onto the hot plate, though.
    • Of course, you can remove anytime while coffee is brewing as has drip stop and pot and hot plate will "Auto shut-off" automatically in 1 1/2 hours
    • Also it seems like Technivorm failed to engineer the bottom of the carafe to fit snug over the inset of the warmer plate so it doesn't move around and stays put
    • There are two switches, one for on/off, and one to adjust the temperature of the hot plate
    • The switches for power and hot plate timing caved in and broke at their fittings.. they repaired all the bits, didn't push the switches in all the way and shipped it back unassembled.

    • Again with hot plate and machine completely off (just for the heck of it)
    • Brews it consistently flavorful every time and also does not burn the coffee as it sits on the warming plate!
    • The new one works well in its first week, and the warmer plate definitely has a better coating on it and no liquid on the warmer after brewing a pot.

    • There are two switches, one for on/off, and one to adjust the temperature of the hot plate
    • The 2-stage warmer plate keeps the coffee hot for an hour and a half...without getting bitter or tasting cooked (at low setting)It's easy to use and easy to clean the parts.
    • The switch that keeps the plate warm only worked for two months; and when I say
    • The one I had previously did not have this, and I prefer the hot plate and glass pot
    • The right hand switch is 75%/100% power to the warmer plate.

    • A Moccamaster hot plate can be set to warm at either 175º, or 185º for those who prefer it hot
    • Although Technivorm says it is alright to keep their glass coffee pot on the warming plate on low without harming the coffee flavor, I put our freshly brewed coffee into our Zojirushi Premium
    • the carafe is not stable on the warmer which in turn negatively impacts the drip stop feature unless the carafe is sitting centered on the warmer plate.
    • When the water tank is empty, a float switch prevents the water heater from engaging, so only the hot plate will come on.5
    • IT'S HOT PLATE.
    • They don't understand why the warmer plate is damaged either
    • Warmer plate is enameled steel - not the best surface for thin, hot glass that's being pressed under a spring-loaded basket.3.
    • The purists will warn about continued-cooking effects of the hot plate/glass pot system vs. thermal carafe... however as other reviewers note, the "10 cup" pot is a smallish European-sized, so we rarely have much coffee sitting on the hot plate for long.
    • One is for brewing, the other is to make the plate that the pot sits on stay hot and keep the coffee warm
    • I love that the hot plate has two temperature settings.
    • The warmer plate is fantastic keeps it warm and does not overheat it
    • so I'm not concerned about it aging on a hot plate.
    • No confusing dials or switches or LED readouts, just an on-off toggle switch, and another toggle switch for the warmer plate (which I always leave on one setting)
    • Plus, it is nice for the last cup to be hot rather than merely warm (note that to minimize additional cooking of the coffee, you can adjust the hot plate wattage high/low with the rightmost switch

    • The Technivorm has a warming plate that gently keeps the coffee at about 165 or 175, your choice via a simple rocker switch
    • (Hotter than my "Chinese wonder" at hot plate temp...hmmm
    • We leave the hot plate on the low setting, and that works fine
    • I love the hot plate.
    • Liked the taste of the coffee but too much plastic, glass carafe bumped filter every time it was put back on hot plate.
    • l love everything about my Moccamaster and look forward to it lasting 20+ years
    • Now l get excited about buying fresh roasted beans to grind and brew the best, most flavorful coffee l've ever drank
    • Temp for water is spot on as advertised and the coffee ends up being just as good as if I had made the cup on a pour over or french press.
    • I'm not sure if it was broken as I was taking it out or it was broken before or broken while taking out the dripper.
    • n’t get the fresh brew smell to awaken to.
