For the longest time we didn't sell any automatic drip coffee makers. That's because there is only one on the market that I think is worth owning. And it was too expensive for me to stock. But a year or so ago, we decided to take the leap. And now several of our customers use the Technivorm Moccamaster at home to brew DoubleShot Coffee.
It really is a great coffee maker. I gave one to my parents for Christmas last year and the coffee went from being indistinguishable (using a Bunn) to my being able to tell which coffee we were drinking. That's a big deal. I don't like to drink my own coffee at my parents' house and not be able to tell which one it is. And not enjoy it. So what a relief to have the Technivorm in my mother's kitchen.
The November/December issue of Cook's Illustrated has a list of the "Best Small Appliances," and the Technivorm made the list. See here:
