Sadly, although I would love to have a MoccaMaster, Technivorm will not sell them here in the Netherlands where they are made. They have an exclusive arrangement with Douwe Egberts, of Senseo fame.

Excellent review and replies! I have had the model with the thermal carafe for going on three years now and will agree with everyone on the problem of saturation of grounds. One other problem I encountered was tightening down the lid to the carafe too much. I had to use a pair of plier to remove it the next day :) I have been spoiled on how quick this maker produces a pot of coffee. It is by far the fastest maker I have owned. I love it and would think it the "perfect" mackine if the company would just get off their butt and make a spray head attachement. How difficult could it be??????? Todd

I love this brewer and mine came with a Technivorm Scoop. I do agree with the dispersion but it is better than any other brewer out there. It's really cool too. Great construction and I wouldn't even think about getting a different brewer or owning another one.

In addition (as above) I would like to add that I like that this company isn't huge about graphics and such. It would rather concentrate on producing and improving on a great product. They depend on their great product to speak and it does.

After using the multiporto water pipe, i think this is one of the best for brewing. I wish it was mine but it was a gift for my father and i only visit it rarely.

Could you post a pic or two of the beast, or elaborate about the improvements involved ?

One thing that I feel our reviewer missed is that 5 to 6 "spoons" of coffee is actually correct. The reviewer made the mistake of translating "coffee spoon" (which is standard at 2 Tbsp) for "Tablespoon." Hence, the instructions per technivorm manual is completely accurate, at 10-12 Tbsps per 1 liter - to 1.25 liter pot (depending on which model of Techivorm you are using). That being said, all the coffee geeks I have read (including Tom at Sweet Maria's) recommend removing the pot for 30 secs to 1 min to allow the coffee to steep in the filter, which seems like a real pain to me (and I even roast my coffee and rotate the finished stock every other day). I find that by making the grind a touch finer you basically get the same extraction effect, as it slows down the drip process through the filter without the hassle.

Dear jdonaldson: I give a rat's derriere (so to speak), because some of us actually prefer a little caffeine in our beverage! : ) I will let those of you who wish to burn all the caffeine and origin flavor profiles from their coffee to drink espresso.

Dear Technivorm users, The general opinion seems to be quite good. Has anyone had any problems brewing less than, say, 5 cups in their CD? I understand the machine is designed for handling more like 10 cups, but is there any specified minimum? I would love to hear from owners who might still have their manual :) Thanks, --Sanjay
