Product Description
What's different about the Moka? The brew process uses steam's natural pressure to extract rich, aromatic, Italian style coffee, releasing all the nuances of the bean. A three chamber system offers authentic results while the stainless steel heating elements heat up fast and provide really hot coffee. Not only does this coffeemaker work differently, it looks different too.
Amazon.com Review
Many automatic drip coffeemakers oversaturate the grounds, resulting in flavorless, watery coffee. The Moka Brew aims to avoid fitting into that category by using steam to generate a low-pressure brewing process. The unique design of the Moka Brew makes it stand out next to other automatic drip machines. Instead of pouring water into a tank on the side of this coffeemaker, water is poured directly below a lid that lifts up from the warming plate. When the unit is turned on, steam pressure forces just enough water up a tube hidden in the coffeemaker's frame and through the grounds, which rest in a compact filter right beneath the lid. The result is up to 8 cups of rich and aromatic Italian-style coffee. Stainless-steel heating elements heat water quickly and continue to keep the carafe at the right temperature while on the hot plate. The graduated glass carafe lets you monitor how many cups you've brewed and has a locking lid to safeguard against accidental spills. The Moka Brew comes with 100 paper filters to get you started and is covered by a limited one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Best Smoothest Coffee August 27, 2010
Marc A. Voelkel (Denver USA)
I got one of these about a year ago after one of the generics died, and after doing a lot of research settled on this. Despite the funny shape, and the different way it makes coffee from what you are used to, and despite the lack of fancy gizmos (timer, grinder...) It makes the best cup of coffee I have ever had athome. It comes out smooth,more intensely flavorful, and less over cooked than the run of the mill drip coffee makers. I highly recommend this to everyone.

I had this coffee maker while I was serving our country in West Germany. Back then even this maker made the best pot of coffee ever, For ME! I was amazed to see it for sale a few years ago and stumbled everytime I wanted one~! My wife said DO IT because she had to hear the constant bombardment of raves I was giving about it! I got one and wow, what a difference in coffee taste. Its even hard to go to any coffee joint for some brew! My lovely wife is a believer! Thanx KRUPS!
Couple of hints July 31, 2010
Robert L. Johnson (Bear, DE)
With so many 5-star reviews, which mirror my evaluations nicely, it's almost silly to add a couple of little tricks which make using this coffeemaker easier to use.
1. There is a coffee tamper, "RSVP Terry's Tamper, $6.90, available here. This simple device makes preparing the coffee much easier. I believe a uniform pressing of the coffee contributes to a richer brew compared to little or no pressing of the coffee. (After having used it for a couple of weeks, I'd gladly pay twice the price for the convenience and benefit it offers.)
2. After brewing, the coffee is so dry and firmly packed that cleaning out the coffee holder is a bit of a job. Sounds nuts! but it works: place a piece heavy thread or dental floss, about 2.5 inches larger in diameter than the coffee holder, across the holder BEFORE putting filter down. After brewing, hold the two threads tails and gently pull up and out. This encourages most of the used coffee to come out easily without having to dig, scrape, or flush the grounds out.
 Good Coffee Stuff July 30, 2010

I've had the Krups Moka Brew for about 5 years and would buy another. I've had no problems with it. It has a low profile that lets it slip under my cupboards. I get compliments on my coffee. The Moka Brew is a little fussier to operate than some and doesn't keep coffee warm very long. So, it's definitely best for smaller households of coffee aficionados who savour a mug or two of good coffee and go.
 Beware - this item had been discontinued July 14, 2010

If you are thinking about buying this item, you should know that you can no longer obtain a replacement carafe (which is made out of a fairly thin glass) for this unit and according to Krups customer care nothing else will fit this model.
