If you drink a pot of coffee a day, the Technivorm Moccamaster is the machine to buy once and keep forever. Each unit is hand-assembled in the Netherlands and backed by a five-year warranty. More importantly, it brews at an SCA-approved 196-205F and finishes a full carafe in about six minutes. The result is consistent, clean, full-bodied drip coffee with none of the bitter over-extraction of cheaper machines. It lacks bells and whistles - no app, no programmability - and that is its charm.
What we liked and didn't
Pros
- SCA-certified brew temperature and time
