Which is better for a household that drinks a lot of coffee?

The Breville. Its 60 oz tank and 12-cup carafe beat the Moccamaster's 40 oz tank and 10 cups, and it brews about a minute faster.

Which one lasts longer?

The Moccamaster carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty; the Breville listing states no warranty. Both are SCA certified and built from stainless steel, but the Moccamaster's simpler switch design has fewer parts to fail.

Is the Moccamaster worth the extra $29?

Only if you value the 5-year warranty, the manual drip-stop and the simpler controls. The Breville does more for less money as of November 5, 2026.

Can I set either one to brew before I wake up?

Only the Breville. It is programmable; the Moccamaster KBT has no clock or timer, so you start it by hand.

Which makes better coffee?

Both are SCA certified and brew in the 196–205°F range. The Moccamaster's manual drip-stop lets you tune extraction by hand; the Breville tunes bloom time and flow rate through its settings.

Does either make cold brew?

Only the Breville, which has a cold brew mode. The Moccamaster KBT is drip only.
