Technivorm Moccamaster 69211 Cup One, One-Cup Coffee Maker 10 Ounce, Off-White

5-YEAR UPDATE: The machine is still going strong. I descale with white vinegar every 80-100 brews (I use the filter box as a guide; once I've finished the box of filters, I know it's time to descale. I've never opened it up to clean the interior, although it would probably be a good idea to do so now. The warranty is up, so I feel comfortable taking it apart to see how the guts have held up in these 5 years. If I remember, I'll take pictures and post them here. I use 3-stage filtered tap water, and I've never noticed an unusual amount of scale buildup. I've also tasted my coffee alongside distilled water with 3rd Wave Water mineral supplements, and haven't noticed much of a difference. This machine can handle 1-2 cups of coffee per day for 5 years, I can confirm. This machine will keep its 5 stars. If I could go back and do it again, I *may have chosen a batch brewer that could brew more than 1 cup, for all the cases where I've had to make coffee for visitors. But for most days of the year, it's just me drinking coffee in my house. For times where I need to make coffee for visitors, I use my 1L French Press. My Baratza Encore on setting 10-14 works great, yielding 10-12 oz of brew in 2:30-3:30. My next drip brewer will probably be a Moccamaster again. Love mine! UPDATE: 2 months after my original impressions, I've gotten into the groove of using it and how to get the most out of it. I've concluded that setting-and-forgetting this machine sufficiently renders great coffee without altering anything out of standard coffee making procedure. The damp coffee grounds left after brewing do indeed still form a cone-pyramid shape, but I haven't noticed hardly any difference from when I stir the grounds during brewing 2-3 times vs. not touching it at all. This bumps the machine from 4 to 5 stars. This is the best single serve machine on the market. Now read my review below and keep in mind what I just mentioned. I'm going to be rather critical of this machine since I spent a pretty penny on it. But if this gets 4 stars, 99% of other auto-drip brewers probably get 1-2 stars. This machine is fantastic. I've put about 15 cycles through it, and the ones where I measured temp, they all came out to ~198-200F, and all went thru the brew process of 300g/10oz water (medium fine grind) in about 5 mins total, from flipping the switch to the last drip, 5:30 at the longest. So it does what it says it's supposed to, which is great. A few design features confuse me. The lid that sits atop the reservoir and drip cone sits a little precariously (it wants to tip if you touch the cone side). This is minor, but I feel like maybe a hinged joint on the reservoir side and the cone side would be more robust. Additionally, the drip spout is a simple U-shaped tube (longer on one side). I wonder why Technivorm didn't follow the design of the other higher volume brewer models and design a shower-head design instead of just a dripper that drops water right into one spot the whole brew process instead of the even showering you see in bigger models. I don't think this would necessarily lead to better flavor, but from what I know about pour-over coffee, a more even wetting of grounds is always better. The grounds do seem to all get wet, but once dry, they form an inverted cone/canyon once the brewing is done. I stir the grounds/water after about 30 seconds to hopefully combat this possibly negative effect. I'm too fiddly to resist, but the coffee tastes great either way. The reason I included this tidbit is that if you pay this much for a brewer that is supposed to be mostly autonomous, there should have to be minimal interference for good coffee. This is probably why I'm putting 4 stars instead of 5. If someone provides me with enough compelling evidence that this doesn't matter, I'll change it to 5. The coffee is excellent. Without the cup preheated, and waiting about a minute after brewing ends, the coffee is at the perfect temp for drinking. The mug is nice as well, and the filters seem to be flavorless/neutral. This sits in my office and gets to brew 2 * 10oz cups for me daily (Onyx Geometry, Colombia/Ethiopia blend is great through this). If you only plan to brew for yourself, this machine is perfect, because if I brewed 2 cups a day through a machine with a thermal carafe or burner, that 2nd cup would be stale/lukewarm 6 hours later, I almost guarantee it (even the good Zojirushi carafes/warmers cool off after about 4-5 hours). So it's a quick, fresh cup on demand. DO NOT buy this if you plan to brew for multiple people or an office. Grab one of the bigger volume models.

This is a well engineered and thought out machine. It is also very attractive and made of metal not cheap plastic. It is a simple machine. If you are looking for bells and whistles, having something that makes various types of coffees this is not for you. The machine has a very European styling to it. Well made, well engineered and simple to use It is a straight up one cup Coffee Machine. And quite compact. It takes very little room on the counter. You can vary the size of the cup. It is marked for 10 but, put in less water or a little more and gauge your amount of grounds to put in for the size. When you set up to make coffee you are supposed to take out the filter holder, wet the paper filter then put it back in the machine. The wet filter keeps the grounds from rising and spilling out. That is probably why some have had an issue with the grounds. You are also to clear out the bottom of the filter pretty much every time before use to make sure the passage is clear. A little tool comes with the machine that has a thin straight almost needle shape to use to clear the filter in the bottom. The Coffee is one of the best cups I have had with perfect taste. It also makes a very hot cup. It's easy to just wipe down and keep clean. Wonderful little machine. I think I am going to love this coffee machine for a long time and have wonderful coffee to drink as well. UPDATE; I have had this coffee machine for awhile. I never had an overflow problem but, my son has. It kept happening to him. We are now using the Malitta Natural Brown #2 Filters. They are much stronger then usual coffee filters and wetting the basket is not needed as there is no caving in of the flimsy standard coffee filters. These filters have made a huge difference. My son does not have the overflow problem. The coffee also seems to run into the cup a little faster then other filters. I definitely recommend the Malitta Brown #2 filters for this coffee machine. You won't regret it. Also, I use the little tool every time I make coffee as I want the drip clear for sure. Takes a second. It still makes the best cups of coffee I have had. And I love adjusting the cup sizes and the strength of coffee I use. I really love this machine.

This is a solid 4-star coffee maker. It makes the most delicious cup of coffee I’ve ever had and is built very well. It has a few design flaws that keep it out of 5-star territory, though. - The cover is useless and basically just a prop. It’s a black plastic little top that just sits there and does nothing. In order to use the coffee maker you have to remove the whole thing and put it... somewhere. And then when you’re done you can put it back on top or just leave it where you put it. Who cares! it doesn’t do anything. - The filter cup rest is fixed in place. This doesn’t seem annoying until you realize you have to move the little metal water dispenser rod thing out of the way to get the filter cup out to empty it. This doesn’t seem annoying until you go to make several cups and that little metal rod is hot as a mother... or you make one cup and you don’t want to let the used grinds sit there. Still gonna be hot and burn your fingers. - The filter cup uses #1 filters. My grocery store never has them so I have to buy #2 filters and cut them to fit. - The hole in the filter cup is tiny. And it gets clogged a lot. Because the cup is so small it doesn’t fit an entire cup of coffee worth of water. So it spills coffee all over your counter and then is a nightmare to remove and clean (see above complaints about fixed position And hot metal rod). - You have to use this special descaler treatment on it every 3 months that costs $18 a bottle for 2 treatments. Overall, I love this thing even with its design flaws. It seriously makes the best cup of coffee of any coffee maker I’ve ever used and I’d happily lose my fingerprints over time to that hot metal spout for that, alone.

Friends were recently asking for recommendations, came to Amazon and realized I bought this back in 2018! In 2026 it's still working as well as it was day 1, with minimal maintenance (I run cleaning stuff through it maybe once every 6 months or so, I rinse all the parts off more often when they start to appear dirty). Consistently makes a great cup, every time - best drip coffee I've had. I personally do taste a difference between the same coffee brewed in this machine vs others. I drink 4-5 cups daily, and occasionally my spouse and/or guests also drink a couple cups - so after 7/8 years this thing has more than proven its value to me. The only bit that took getting used to (vs other drip brewers) was that coffee grounds do easily block the exit hole (even if you're meticulous about your grounds pour, filters, etc) - but there was a little plastic tab/rod/etc provided to easily clear it out, and it's just become part of my coffee-making routine so it's a non-issue: rinse the basket, poke the hole, add filter + coffee. The only infuriating moment I've had was when I dropped/misplaced the plastic tab thing - it's tiny. I do wish there was less plastic (the water reservoir, top/splash shield, and the basket are all plastic - IMO would have happily paid a bit more for glass reservoir and basket, and no idea if the heated water in the basket may be leeching things or not). That said, while I don't know if they've changed anything in product quality, included accessories, etc since my purchase, assuming it's the same I'd 1000% recommend to anyone.

After reading many reviews and looking at many coffee makers, I wanted a reliable, non-espresso, single-cup coffee maker and this one got very good marks from the coffee subreddit and from several friends who know coffee well. It's easy to assemble, easy to use, makes a single 10oz cup of coffee with extremely reliable, consistent temperatures in 5-6 minutes for the cost of water, one 10-cent filter, and 17oz of roasted coffee that I grind with my Encore grinder fresh. I usually drink a single cup per day and no one else in my family drinks coffee, so making a whole pot is a waste. This is cheaper than the pod machines, better coffee (if you buy it--and fresher), and still very fast and consistent. Estimated cost is around 50 cents per cup in materials (filter and coffee), give or take based on how premium the coffee and such. Beats the heck out of a restaurant, and I've started to like it black rather than the cream and sugar/flavor I was adding (only been drinking coffee 3 years, only liked it black for a month or two!). I prefer lighter roasts which are harder to find in pods anyway. This thing gets high ratings and their claim (which I have not verified) is that it quickly heats water to just under boiling and keeps it there from the start to the finish even over one cup, while larger pot drip machines start cooler and only warm up near the end, making them not ideal for single cup brewing which is what I wanted (they also make larger pot machines that make coffee the same way). Functionally, it couldn't get much simpler. Fill water to the line in the back, make sure filter and ground coffee are in the removable brewing cup, verify mug is under nozzle, and flip power switch on. Hot water bubbles up the very simple handle-like spout, drops onto the coffee at just the right rate, and a single stream of coffee comes out into the mug below. Power turns off when water is empty (sometimes it will self-flip the power button off, sometimes it doesn't--it still powers off, I just have to make sure to turn the switch off before I add water next time if I'm not quite ready for it to auto-start). I use reverse-osmosis water and, while I'm sure the mineral content isn't ideal (should be almost none with RO water), it also doesn't really create scale build-up, but there are cleaners that can be run through if necessary. I've only had this around a month or two so far. The build is like a tank, I can't imagine there's much to break (the mechanism is quite simple) and it has a 5-year warranty if it does. It's more expensive than the entry-level drip machines but way cheaper than a full espresso setup. Super happy! I'm contemplating buying either another Cup One or maybe a full pot version for my office if enough others are interested.

After alot of research, I chose Technivorm's Moccamaster being in search of a single brewer. The unit was highly rated by Food and Wine and other sources. I have been a Aeropress user for many, many years. I love the depth and richness of the Aeropress but just got tired of all of the pressing I had to do for my cup, in the early morning. While Technivorm's Moccamaster's brew (using a finer espresso grind from our pro grinder) produces a slightly "weaker" cup than the Aeropress, as an automatic brewer, I think it does an excellent job. The machine is designed and made with quality. It does not sputter or overflow if you use a 17g/2 level or slightly heaping scoops as recommended, as others have suggested. We also stir our grounds as the basket fills for even distribution. It is a nice small unit that doesn't take up much counter space and is very attractive. Technivorm includes 3 boxes of 80 ct filters with the machine (very nice) and the unit comes with a 5 year warranty when registered. Customer service is also very good. A little water does remain in the reservoir after brewing so I simply take the unit to the sink and pour out, just to eliminate any undue calcifying build up. Though the unit is not inexpensive, you "get what you pay for." The quality of manufacture, customer service, warranty and brewing are all there. I suspect it will last for a very long time with regular descaling and proper use and care. Truly you can't go wrong with the Moccamaster.

The good: This thing is built well. It’s easy to use and the water heats up crazy fast. After brewing it has an auto off feature. The bad: It makes a bad cup of coffee. I have been doing pour overs for years and roasting my own coffee with great success. Someone recommended the Technivorm saying it makes a great cup of coffee. Such a good cup that the person who recommended it said if I didn’t like it he would buy it from me for a second brewer for his office. I usually only drink one or two cups a day so I didn’t want a full size brewer and thought the Cup One was going to be perfect. After the first cup of coffee I knew this thing wasn’t going to work. The arm where the water comes out is NOT the nine hole version of the larger Technivorm brewers. It is just one large hole which creates a brew like a pour over and only pouring water in the center of the grounds. This creates a crater in the center (see pics) which over extracts the center grounds while under extracting everything outside of the middle. For $245, I anticipated a very good cup of coffee. I hope Technivorm changes their design on this single cup brewer and can incorporate the actual 9-hole arm of its larger brewer brethren. Guess it’s back to tried and true pour-overs. I tried multiple cups with this brewer with different grinds and a coffee:water ratio of 1:17. Nothing I did fixed the issue of the center crater and every cup was pretty bad.

Well, who knew? Evidently I didn’t know I’m 61 years old. So now I finally know what coffee taste like. Thank you, moccamastet or however, you spell it. It was delivered, I grabbed the box put it on the counter and opened it. So like a typical male . I saw the pictures no needing to read and made me a cup of coffee in 10 minutes from receiving it and it’s wonderful so I would say yeah worth the money. I’m done with the Keurig cups and not having enough flavor. As they say, I knew not how empty my cup was till it was full, so I’m happy . So I recommend getting this if you only need to one cup of coffee once in a while, I like it actually small not taking up too much room. But I am returning it. Reason it produces great coffee so much that one cup is not enough so I’m going to get a multi cup producing machine. quick and to move and get You really can’t go wrong. If you need something fast out of the house or if it’s just you by yourself again it’s great. But if you’re gonna sit around the house, are you need more than one cup at a time. Get a bigger machine.

Si lo que necesitas es lo justo para tu tasa de café, eso es lo mejor ; fácil rápido y sabroso

Great coffee maker. The copper coil wire heats it to the right temp giving you great tasting coffee again and again!

This thing makes an excellent, consistent cup of coffee. All you have to do is bring it the right beans and it does the rest. It's a perfect solution for people who want the freshest, hottest cup of coffee every time, not that lukewarm second cup that you get with a big carafe. The only downside is the filter sometimes gets jammed, so you need to make sure it's clear before you brew.

Es sin duda alguna una maquina robusta, sólida y con calidad excelente. Produce café con excelentes características y la temperatura exacta en cada taza. Recomiendo este producto ampliamente.

simple to use, very compact and fast
