Is an inexpensive drip coffee maker holding your coffee back from its full potential? In most cases, the answer is probably yes.
Now if you're already satisfied with the taste and quality produced by your drip machine, then there's no need to read on. But if you're seeking to improve the quality of the coffee you brew at home, there's one very important reason to consider what machine you're using to brew your coffee:
Baseline drip machines sometimes fail to reach the optimal brewing temperature (195°F – 205°F) in the first couple of minutes, which results in under-extracted coffee with muted flavors. This means you're missing out on the full potential of your coffee beans.
Alternatively, investing in a coffee maker that consistently achieves optimal brewing temperatures will bring out the full flavor of your coffee, likely even allowing you to taste new flavors you never noticed before.
While there's plenty of great options out there, we've spent 15+ years testing drip brewing methods and machines, and in our humble opinion nothing comes close to the Technivorm Moccamaster.
The Moccamaster is the world's only automatic drip coffee machine certified to brew a half & full carafe of coffee to the Specialty Coffee Association's Golden Cup Standard. To put it simply: it makes some darn good coffee.
