Anyone know what coffeemaker Claire McCaskill has?


I know, shallow af but it looks cool and I might be after a new one. It’s always back there with the baked goods, calling my name.

AI says: Claire McCaskill owns a Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker. She has publicly expressed her fondness for it, noting its durability and quality. She even mentions that she used to go through multiple coffee makers a year before she got the Moccamaster.

It was expensive, but I’ve had it for years and years. It makes amazing coffee. 😍☕️

Lasts for a very long time and you can buy replacement parts for the basket etc. Buy one with a thermal carafe as there is not a coffee warmer. It’s basic but makes great coffee. I bought mine probably 10 years ago. Probably much more now

7. Online the cost seems to be about $350. If it lasts 10 years then it is only $35 per year.

This is cheaper than buying a Mr Coffee maker every year or two.
Or buying a starbucks latte.

I’d buy another one, if I could swing it. The price is shocking, but I know it’s worth it. I used to have a glass percolator for the top of the stove. That also made a great cup of coffee. A good back up plan if necessary. 😉

15. Yes it has a big price tag. And may cost more with the tariffs.

When I was drinking coffee I did a simple pour over.
Just need a mug and simple poor over filter cost about $7.

And if people are keeping them for years and years then it may be worth the investment.
Yes I prefer to put money into things I use every day.
Or things I am very fussy about, like tea and coffee.
And spend less on things I don't use very often.

Of course there is a but, she sometimes tends to be too conservative . That’s why she lost her seat. Stop being preachy Claire

Otherwise we might as well just listen to ourselves.

It's slow they say compared to other makers and the taste is the same.
