Overview
The Moccamaster is the drip machine for people who want great filter coffee without a ritual. It heats water to the temperature good extraction needs and makes a full pot in about five minutes, all with one switch. The half-carafe setting adjusts the brew for smaller batches, so a two-cup morning still tastes right.
It costs more than most drip makers, but it is built to last and has a 5-year warranty. The glass carafe sits on a hot plate that switches off after 100 minutes; if you leave coffee standing for a long time, consider the thermal version.
For the best pot, grind fresh with a Baratza Encore and weigh your coffee on a scale.
