Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer With Thermo Carafe - Technivorm 9587

I bought this Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer With Thermo Carafe - Technivorm 9587 for my wife who is a coffee fanatic. This coffee maker makes fast, hot coffee and uses less ground than others we have had: Bunn, Zojurushi, Bodums, Black and Decker; and is easy to clean. My wife and I like coffee. It's one of the day's regular pleasures and we drink coffee every day. We buy good coffee.

Technivorm coffee brewers are the "gift of choice" for European brides

For years we used a small plastic Krupps grinder and a Krupps then Cusineart coffee maker. My idea of coffee is entirely changed. It is just terrific coffee. I used to make my coffee in a cup at a time in a pour-over Hario V60, but I wanted to simplify my morning routine without compromising on coffee quality. Most coffee makers don't get water hot enough to properly extract coffee (and fluctuate in temperature throughout the brew cycle).

• 10-cup capacity thermal carafe
• Copper heating element that heats quickly and maintains the
• Precise saturation time (4 to 6 minutes)

The well-insulated carafe keeps the coffee hot and fresh. The pour-thru spout is a nice touch too, allowing the carafe to be well sealed while brewing. The light on the switch stays on following brewing, but the coils shut off automatically at the end of a brewing cycle and the brew light goes out. I always grind fresh and brew with fresh water and it takes only 60 seconds to fill the chamber, grind a couple of scoops of coffee and press the button.

I cannot imagine using a glass carafe with this machine, as coffee temperature is the whole purpose of the design, and an uninsulated glass carafe is good only to keep the coffee from spilling on the counter! This carafe keeps coffee hot for hours. The pour lip has no dimple and if you pour with the screw-in lid, it can spread a bit along the lip and cause some spilling. You can, of course remove the lid to pour.

It sometimes gets stuck closed, resulting in an overflow of hot water and coffee grounds. If you only drink coffee for the caffeine, fine, go for a cheaper machine. But if you really like good quality coffee and want it to taste its best, you won't regret the purchase of this Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Brewer With Thermo Carafe - Technivorm 9587 machine and a good quality grinder.
