This review is from: Technivorm 1.25-L. Moccamaster Coffee Maker, Black.I've owned this machine for over two years. It is beautifully designed and well made. I love the look. Is the coffee brewed by this machine THAT much better, given its lofty price? Nope, not to my taste. The thermal carafe does not keep the coffee near brewing temperature for long, even after tempering the carafe for 15 minutes with boiling water. The first cup is excellent, but anything after the first cup grows steadily tepid. Might just as well use a press pot, which certainly allows the best expression of fresh ground beans. My Technivorm machine still works well, but for my morning coffee I am replacing it with a basic glass-carafed maker with heat element (Capresso MG600)....This review is from: Technivorm 1.25-L. Moccamaster Coffee Maker, Black.Carafe does NOT fit under the filter cone with the cap screwed on as the photo shows. This is a MAJOR problem. You cannot store carafe inserted into the machine. Made of plastic parts which will create a poor taste in time. After brewing, you must stand and wait for the last drop to fall since when you withdraw the open carafe, there is no shut off valve under the filter cone to stop liquid flow. Must manually turn off machine at completion. Yes, it has an excellent boiler and makes a great cup of java. But how this machine has received such high ratings is a mystery. It has major design and build quality issues that ruin a potentially great design. There is a replacement available now called the CDT model that is 1/2" taller and will accept the carage with the cap screwed on....This review is from: Technivorm 1.25-L. Moccamaster Coffee Maker, Black.For how expensive this is and the high ratings it seems to get I can not use the words that best describe it for me other than this machine is overrated.First, I have been roasting coffee since the 90s and have used many different types of brewing devices. I am not the smartest guy but I have some experience making a good cup of coffee. And I can usually work my way around things mechanically.While this machine gets high ratings for the temperature it reaches the main part that holds the coffee is the cheapest thing I have ever seen. And I ask why? The coffee flow control is nothing more than a manual slide lever. That includes shutting it off. Even less expensive machines stop the flow when you pull out the carafe. Another problem is that it can clog. While it does have an overflow and shouldn't make a mess on your counter it does make a mess of the machine. It just boggles my mind that something so expensive has as its main component something so cheap. I write this today because it did clog and really - well you know!...
