Can be positioned easily

The power cord of The Moccamaster is considerably longer than those of most coffee makers. This allows you to reach the outlet from anywhere on your counter-top or in the kitchen.

Pro
You won't need a specialized coffee grinder

Pro
Great for coffee connoisseurs

The extraction is further improved by the per-immersion drip-style system, which helps the coffee bloom. This creates a drink that has a deep flavor and feels very smooth to drink, but isn't overpowering.

Fair quality of coffee

This coffee brewer makes decent coffee that is on par with what the other coffee brewers in its price range produce.

Has a grinder

Cons

Con
Not completely free of harmful substances

This coffee maker has a few plastic parts containing BPA, which can be a deal breaker for people who want their appliances to be completely free of harmful substances. Fortunately, these parts never touch the water or the coffee grounds, so you won't ever need to worry about any BPA ending up in your coffee.

Con
Need to be careful when handling the glass carafe

The glass carafe is very frail and a strong enough tap on the counter will make it crack. You also have to pour the coffee carefully, so the coffee doesn't spill over the sides.
