I'll be the first to say the usual answer of Technivorm Moccamaster. Literally only 2 switches, on/off and half/full brew. I really like mine, they're hand made, it's built like a tank and you get a lifelong warranty.

It really has nothing to do with wattage. All machines that work on what most people call a “thermosiphon” principle (although that’s really not what it is) have to get the water to boiling in order to get it into the coffee. It’s the steam that propels the coffee up and over and into the grinds. So

Before you buy a coffee machine, buy a good quality burr grinder. Grinding your own fresh beans just before you brew them will make an enormous difference in the quality of your coffee. Coffee begins to lose its flavor within 20 minutes of grinding, so buying pre-ground coffee is really a non-starte

It’s no different than any other drip coffee maker with regard to process. It just happens to be popular with coffee drinkers that enjoy complicating things. You can use it just like you did your cheap coffee maker before the keurig or the Bunn. The Bunn HB will make just as good coffee, if you had

Technivorm Moccamaster coffee maker. A fancy drip machine. Use it everyday.

Honestly the biggest factor is what is your financial situation like? If dropping $300 is going to cause stress in other aspects of your life, then a Moccamaster is probably not worth getting. If you are in a comfortable spot financially, you’ll be happy dropping the money even just to see the machi

As in most drip coffee makers, there is no pump. The water is propelled by steam when it boils. When the tank runs dry, a float switch turns off the boiler and the water stops boiling. There will always be that last bit of water that can’t boil out. This is often called a thermo-siphon but it is tec

Grinder is more important than the coffee maker in making a better cup of coffee. I went from a bodum to fellow ode 2, huge difference. I love my moccamaster mostly because I’m in love with how it looks. It takes about a month on average to get accustomed to it.

I was going to say, as a Leftie, the Moccamaster is AWESOME!! One of the best coffee makers AND left-hand friendly.

The lore over the Moccamaster is hilarious. It’s just a drip coffee maker that looks nice and heats the water hot enough to effectively brew coffee lighter than French roast. Anything you do with your current drip, you do with the MM. for me it’s 10 seconds to dump the grounds and rinse the carafe.
