Technivorm 79112 KBT Coffee Brewer, 40 oz, Polished Silver
| ||||||||
Cons
- Priced on the higher side
- No Timer
- No Brew temperature control
Moccamasters by Technivorm are specially made to do one thing, that is ‘brew perfect coffee’. Rather than fancy controls, this piece is just made with 2 controls: the on/off switch and the manual slider on the brew basket to adjust the drip rate. There is one more control for brew speed where one can choose full drip, half drip or no drip. The brew time is merely 4-5 minutes for optimum taste.
Moreover, this piece of perfection comes with a thermal insulated pot to keep your perfect coffee hot for a longer span. If you have some spare money to spend and desire to owe among the top rated coffee makers, this might be the one you are looking for. Along with SCAA, it is also SCAE certified. We might have considered this as the best and placed it at the top but the pricing part is on the higher side as compared to the others.

Things To Consider Before Buying An Auto Drip
Whether you consider making coffee a daily chore or a gratifying ritual, there is no denying that drinking a hot cup of coffee is a pleasurable experience that prepares us for a hectic day ahead. If you want to enjoy a great everyday cup of coffee with a bold flavor, there is no better option than a drip coffee maker.
Drip coffee makers offer some of the simplest approaches to brewing. So, if you are looking to buy a drip coffee maker, here is a comprehensive buying guide for you. Let’s get started:
If you want to leave mediocre coffee behind and start drinking superb drip coffee, first you must find the right brand that fits your needs. That being said, you must also know about types of drip coffee makers before buying one for yourself.
Even though there is the use of same brewing technique in all drip coffee makers, it is important for you to buy the one that comes with some extra features, settings and precision.
Precise Temperature
It is recommended to buy a drip coffee maker that comes with the feature of precise temperature control. This feature ensures the water is heat up to optimum temperatures as it helps roast the coffee to its flavorful potential.
There are many coffee makers that face the issue of temperature fluctuations that can affect the aroma, acidity,and flavor of the coffee. Therefore, it is best to invest in a coffee maker with no temperature fluctuations.
Hot Plate or Thermal Carafe
Thermal Carafe – These are highly recommended to people who do not like making coffee every now and then. A thermal carafe not only brews a big pot of coffee but also keeps it hot and flavorful for several hours. And the pot is sturdy and portable – making it perfect for families and offices.
Given that the carafe is insulated, there is no need to place your coffee on a hotplate to keep it warm. This helps in averting the coffee from overcooking or burning and ensuring that there is no compromise on taste.
Hot Plate – The glass carafe drip coffee maker cannot stay warm for too long because it is not insulated. Since the coffee remains only warm when the carafe sits on a hotplate, it is best for people who do not consume too much coffee. It is because the flavor and taste are compromised as a result of keeping the coffee on a hotplate for too long.
If you really want to go with this, it is best to choose a glass carafe machine that is equipped with the feature of temperature or timing mechanism that enables the user to control the temperature of the hotplate or set timing for the hotplate to turn off. However, with a glass carafe, you can actually see the whole brewing process.
Serving Size
While choosing a drip coffee maker, one of the most important factors to consider is the serving size. It is because if everyone in your house loves to kick-start their day with coffee then it is not the best choice to buy a drip coffee maker with a serving size of 4. Depending on the daily consumption of coffee in your house, you can buy the one with a serving size of 14 or more.
Unit Size
If you are the only person in your house that is addicted to coffee and cannot live without it, then it is best to purchase a drip coffee maker that is specifically designed to brew small pots. And also make sure that the coffee maker enables you to regulate the speed of water flow over the coffee grounds.
A coffee maker that enables the user to adjust the flow is definitelythe best choice. It is because if the flow is not adjusted, the extraction time is limited and the flavor gets damaged. So, make sure you consider this important point before investing in a drip coffee maker.
Temperature Control
There are machines that do not come with temperature control feature. Make sure you buy a drip coffee maker that boasts a steady temperature control of 195°F to 205°F. A machine with steady temperature control makes sure your coffee isn’t too cold or too hot.
Ease of Cleaning
If you are in the league of those people who loves coffee but absolutely hates cleaning the coffee makers, you are still going to experience some trouble here. From washing removable parts of daily use to decalcifying your machine every month, the whole cleaning process is not something to be afraid of.
Programmable Features
There are machines that enable the user to pre-set the time for the brewing process to commence. It provides the convenience to the user as the machine does all the work and coffee is prepared at the set time.
It is best to look for a machine that comes with more features. Machines with more features tend to be expensive but then again, you’ll get convenience and quality. For instance, there are machines with built-in coffee grinders that make a great, freshly brewed coffee that is unquestionably more divine than pre-ground coffee.
Auto Shut Off
Look for a brewer that can be automatically shut off after a certain amount of time. This feature can become handy if you’re a type of person who forgets to turn the coffee maker off every now and then. In addition, this feature saves the electricity bill as well.
Durability
Drip coffee makers with glass carafes are not even close to thermal carafes when it comes to durability. If you are not good with breakable objects, you need to invest in a drip coffee maker with a thermal carafe. Simply look for a brand that is reliable, affordable, and covers all the basics.
Pricing
You can get a drip coffee maker under the price of $100 and you can also get one that is over $500. However, with the extra price, it is guaranteed that you will get to enjoy more features and quality.
FAQs
Which drip coffee maker makes the hottest coffee
Though every coffee maker brands claims about perfect temperature, the few we found making hottest coffee were Technivorm Moccamaster, Oxo On and Bonavita 1900TS.
Which drip coffee machine makes the best tasting coffee
If you are looking for the best tasting drip coffee, we would suggest to go with Breville Precision brewer, Technivorm, Oxo or Braun Brewsense. They are the leaders in the market for great coffee experience.
How much coffee do you put in a drip coffee maker
It depends on how you want your coffee. But as a general rule of thumb, 1 tbsp of coffee for each 6 oz cup of coffee. So if you are brewing 4 cups, put 4 tbsp of coffee.
Are all drip coffee makers the same
The brewing method is all same in drip coffee machines, only optimization differs. The quality of brewed coffee largely varies if the temperature is consistent, the water spreads evenly on the coffee and the extraction cycle.

A typical coffee maker takes anywhere from 5 to 12 minutes depending upon the brewer and the quantity of coffee.

Wrap Up
A drip coffee maker is just perfect for families, offices, and people who like to invite friends and colleagues to their home. Finding the best one is not a difficult process if you look for features rather than price.
Depending on your needs, you can buy it in different brew sizes that range from 4 to 20 cups. However, if you are the only person in your home that drinks coffee, it is best to buy a drip coffee maker that has a capacity of brewing 10-14 cups of heavenly coffee. While buying a drip coffee maker, look for programmable features such as temperature control and auto shut off.
