Several months ago I purchased the OXO 9-Cup Coffee Maker. When I went to do the first deep clean, I realized that in addition to brewing coffee, I was also brewing rust!

What Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV owners say

not a thing broke or failed us, it just keeps on going like a champ

The coffee (on average) that it produces easily matches what I was producing with my Commandante and Orea V3.

It makes no sense to pay top dollar for a machine that doesn't even work right. I ended up going with the BPB instead.
