The Master of the Perfect cup

 The Technivorm Moccamaster 79312 KBGT Review

Technivorm Moccamaster's simple design hides the good engineering inside. Without fancy lights and parts, the spaceship-shaped carafe and plain base stand out like understated people telling a good story with few words. 


The machine works simply: coffee drip rains down onto grounds trapped in a washable filter. During brewing, there is nothing to adjust - just sit back and let the good coffee drip flow. 


The Moccamaster isn’t just about quality; it’s about efficiency. With a brewing time of only 4-6 minutes, it’s a swift performer that doesn’t keep you waiting. This rapid cycle is a boon for those who need their coffee fix without compromising on taste or quality.


Unlike other machines that dump water at set times, Technivorm uses high tech that turns off when the coffee is perfect - no guessing needed. And no paper filters - just a seasoned metal catcher that gets better over time.


The cone-shaped brew basket is not just for show; it’s engineered to maximize contact time between water and coffee grounds, enhancing the extraction process. This design choice contributes to a more complex and aromatic cup of coffee.


The automatic drip-stop feature is a thoughtful addition. It allows you to pour a cup mid-brew without making a mess, pausing the flow when the carafe is removed. This feature exemplifies the machine’s user-centric design.


A good thermal carafe is the guardian of your brew’s integrity. The Moccamaster’s carafe is a fortress, maintaining your coffee’s temperature and taste for up to an hour without a heating plate, which can degrade the quality over time.


In summary, though easy to use, Technivorm Moccamaster's skill raises drip brewing to new heights. For a fair price, Technivorm Moccamaster delivers unbelievable freshness and nuance, waking up your inner barista through simple craftsmanship that gets the perfect brew.


Coffee seeker, your search now ends. Put down worries and fixing habits. With Technivorm Moccamaster beside you, all that's left is to sip your coffee.
