The MoccaMaster is a great coffee maker that is worth the money, with a copper coil element that heats the water at a constant temperature. It is made with BPA, BPS, BPF, and Pthahlate free plastics, and comes with 5 years warranty. The carafe is sturdy and easy to use, but the lever on the water container is flimsy and can scorch the tongue. The thermal carafe is not always in contact with the brewing cup, but is a solid choice.
