I was a Keurig guy for a long time and was happy with it. I loaded the K-Cup into my single-serve machine , and within two minutes my morning was saved. However, I had two problems with my Keurig: First, I hated the daily waste of K-Cups, even though “recyclable” cups came on the market a few years ago. And secondly, using the machine was a bit cumbersome when trying to make more than one cup at a time. For example, it would be nice to fill a travel mug, but one cup is not enough and two cups risk overflowing. And if we had several guests who wanted a cup of coffee, they would have to wait in line, since my machine prepares exactly one portion at a time. So I started looking at a more traditional coffee maker—one that could make an entire cup of coffee with just one paper filter—so that if I had guests over or wanted to fill a travel mug, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Although I would probably be satisfied with a standard coffee maker, I was interested in the Moccamaster Technivorm and never had the opportunity to look for another coffee maker. This thing has it all: it’s stylish, it brews 40 ounces of coffee at a time, and it supposedly optimizes coffee brewing speed to extract the “full flavor” of the coffee and maximize its “complexity, flavor and aroma.” I have no scientific or expert training when it comes to “extracting” coffee, I just like a good cup and this thing makes a good cup of coffee every time. ( This YouTube review does a good job of explaining the device in more detail.)
When it comes to making coffee, I quite often use the Mockamaster’s tips that are posted online (although they should also come in paper form with your machine). It gives the recommended ratio of water to ground coffee for whatever amount of coffee you want to brew (I usually brew a liter at a time, which equates to six scoops of two tablespoons of Moccamaster, or 55 ounces), as well as advice on what to do , if the strength has dropped: If your coffee is too strong, Moccamaster recommends adding hot water. But if it’s too weak, Moccamaster doesn’t recommend adding more ground coffee: instead, he advises “exploring different coffees or roast profiles to find the one that best suits your taste.” To me, this sounds like a very polite version of “your coffee is garbage, dude.”
From a beginner’s perspective, everything about this Moccamaster machine is amazing except the price. This thing retails for $359, which last I checked is expensive . Therefore, when I saw that Technivorm was for sale, I had to write about it.
Unfortunately, the deal is already faltering. Amazon originally sold this machine at half price for Black Friday. But that sale has since ended. But many colors are still on sale at 30% off. At the time of writing, these include apricot, black, orange, butter yellow, candy apple red, pink, stone gray and yellow pepper. Rose gold is selling less, currently priced at $319.95. I would recommend viewing the different colors before purchasing to see if the deal has changed at all after this article.
