Technivorm
 

My first Technivorm brewer should arrive Monday or Tuesday. Sure hope it lives up to the hype.

It does. However, much like cigars, you have to be able to notice the difference to appreciate the difference. I'm not trying to sound snobby. Just pointing out that quality must first be discerned to be appreciated.

I have the MoccaMaster CD. Which did you pick up?

Re: Technivorm
 

Them what has 'em seems to like 'em. :tu

Re: Technivorm
 

Went with the MoccaMaster also. Have been waiting a month on delivery. Everyone seems to have them on back order but I have a Fed ex tracking number now. Picked up a Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Mill which has already arrived. It is a great grinder. Looking forward to some great coffee.

Re: Technivorm
 

You've got the same grinder as I have as well. Now what I know what your budget is like, I'd suggest springing for another $20 and picking up a Swissgold KF4 filter. I tried paper filters for a while, but those didn't come close to the Swissgold. You get a lot more oils coming through it. More sediment too. It comes the closest to press pot (French press) coffee I've had.

What's your roaster?

Re: Technivorm
 

Thanks for the help I will order one!

Re: Technivorm
 

The Technivorm showed up yesterday. I can honestly say I have never tasted coffee before!! This machine is great, I dont know how it does it but I am using the same beans and the coffee is totaly different. Great taste!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Technivorm
 

That would be the effect of water at the correct temperature. Nice.

Re: Technivorm
 

good luck!

Re: Technivorm
 

Loves me my Mochamaster! :tu

Re: Technivorm
 

Ditto, one great machine!!!

Re: Technivorm
 

Switching from my cheap drip to the Technivorm Mochmaster with the thermocarafe made a huge difference in my coffee. It's really unbelieveable the difference a good coffee maker makes.

Re: Technivorm
 

That's exactly how I felt. If you don't roast your own beans...try it. It's another huge leap in flavor. The BlackDog himself pushed me off that ledge...and I am truly appreciative. :)

Re: Technivorm
 

After a few months and a lot of emails with the grinder people I have to say stay away from this grinder!!!! Went back to my cheap Kitchenaid for now. The Virtuoso Is a POS.

Re: Technivorm
 

try the rocky rancilio...what a terrific grinder...worth every penny.

Re: Technivorm
 

Thanks for the heads up I will check it out.

Re: Technivorm
 

Sounds like you got a real lemon, that sucks. I have had no problem with mine and got it from recommendations from people who have them. I would have gone for the Rocky for the extra $150 if I did espresso at home but lucky for me I have put off that expensive end of things.:D

Re: Technivorm
 

Technivorms are cool. My local coffee shop sells them, and they move quite well.

I don't think a top shelf grinder is needed for a drip or pour-over coffee maker. However, the highly adjustable burr grinder is essential for us loons who pull espresso shots every morning.

Re: Technivorm
 

Yup...espresso is a sickness...i love it. :D
