With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Okay, so the brew temperature and time are ideal; but is it worth the expense?
Please get your coffee and sit though this review, it's a bit long. So many people and places rate this as the best drip coffee maker because of the ideal brew temperature and brew drip time. I spent more time on this review because I want to justify the expense of this coffeemaker. The bottom line is that to get the really best tasting coffee out of this expensive coffee maker, you may have to spend just a bit of time fussing with it. This includes finding the right amount of coffee to add, using filtered room temperature water, and I found as some people suggest that if you leave the brew basket top off and stir the coffee grinds during brewing (at least for the first minute when the water has filled the basket and the grinds are swimming in water) , you get even better tasting coffee (better flavor extraction). Also, unless I buy another thermal carafe specifically the Thermos Nissan 51 Ounce Stainless Steel...

Unimpressed
Researched a number of coffee makers before deciding upon the MM based on online reviews. My single positive observation is the MM brings the water to an ideal brewing temperature of 200 deg F. Allow me to continue. I purchased the Thermo Carafe model as I do not like my coffee sitting on a heated burner and would typically transfer my coffee to a separate carafe after brewing. The problem with the MM carafe is the lid does not have a filler valve mechanism that allows the carafe to fill with the lid in place. If brewing only a half pot of coffee the carafe acts like a chimney allowing the heat to escape. The result is a warm cup of coffee. I'm constantly putting my cup of coffee in the microwave to get it to an enjoyable temperature. Next problem is the shower head, for lack of a better term. Its rectangular shape does not thoroughly and uniformly saturate the ground coffee. Open the lid on the brewing cone and the periphery of the coffee grounds are still dry. The water...
How could you possibly complain?
If you were to ask my husband about me he would say that 'she is cheap'
but that 'quality is priority.' I love great design, but I am not going to
be swayed by a design if it doesn't function or have longevity.
I honestly did NOT expect much from this machine. I don't expect much from
anything I buy anymore i.e. clothing is a big one. I am so used to purchasing
an item and find that the item doesn't live up to expectations.
SOOO, our coffee maker broke after 20 years i know a krups, I was lucky enough
to have had a neighbour whose coffee machine crapped out two months before ours.
If my husband thought I was anal, well our neighbour is joe researcher on all things---
all things potentially entering his home.
He bought a Capresso with a thermal carafe. We bought the technivorm with carafe.
We organized a 'coffee off' with third party participants etc.
Technivorm won hands down...
