Which coffee maker truly brews the better cup? In this episode of Forbes Vetted Versus, editorial director Brinda Ayer puts two top-rated brewers—the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select and the OXO Brew 9-Cup Coffee Maker—through a series of rigorous, real-world tests to determine which machine comes out on top.
We evaluated both brewers across five essential categories: ease of use, temperature consistency, taste, additional features & value, and ease of cleaning. From timing brew cycles and tracking water temperature to comparing extraction evenness, testing carafe heat retention and running a newsroom blind taste test, Brinda breaks down exactly how these machines perform where it matters most.
Whether you prefer a beautifully designed, handmade machine with simple controls or a programmable brewer packed with thoughtful modern features, one of these picks will suit your kitchen—and one ultimately proves to be the better value.
