39340 CDT Grand Coffee Maker, 60 Ounce, Silver

We purchased this model after enjoying our previous Technivorm model for many years, which was the same 60 oz size. I originally saw it years ago, demonstrated on America’s Test Kitchen. Our previous Technivorm model had a glass carafe, this has the thermal carafe, which is excellent. It brews a consistent, excellent brew. I said it before, in my original review, and I will say it again, this is the best coffee maker I have ever owned. I like that you can see the reservoir to clean it. Before I purchased Technivorm, my older coffee machines were always difficult to clean, especially the reservoir, and they didn’t last very long. This model is the perfect size for us as we each enjoy drinking two large coffee mugs in the morning. Our coffee mugs are about 15 ounces, so perfect for 4 large mug size servings created with one delicious pot of coffee. This model makes the perfect brew using the water as marked by the water line on the reservoir and I grind my coffee beans with a burr grinder to approximately a medium grind. I use the paper appropriate size liners, the Bunn 12 cup commercial, fit perfectly. I have never had any issues with spilling, over flowing, or clogging with my choices, just perfect coffee. We have an RO water filter and it is recommended to not use RO water due to copper heat coil damage that can occur with the Technivorm. I use the mineral mixture that I had previously read about, add it to water, and it also improves flavor! The result is the most perfect coffee that we have enjoyed for many years! Thanks to Technivorm Moccamaster!

We bought the Technivorm Moccamaster 39340 CDT Grand about 3 months ago, and it is fantastic. First let me say that we did have a small problem with coffee slightly dripping down the carafe while brewing but, Technivorm replaced the carafe immediately without question. Problem solved, and now I know that they have first rate customer service too! The coffee that this machine makes is unbelievably good. So good that I had to force myself to stop drinking it constantly all day. It makes the best coffee ever made in my house by far. I buy good quality whole beans and grind them before brewing, my wife buys the cheapest coffee that she can find and mixes regular and decaf for a pot in the morning and I can say for sure that even the cheap coffee tastes good. Far better than our previous Bunn made. The whole bean coffee that I make is out of this world in my opinion. So I can confirm, at least in my opinion, that the brewing theory about water temp and dripping the water all over the grounds to bloom them to get a better taste is real. I've pulled the top up from the basket while brewing and you can see the grind blooming as the water is showered all over them. From an aesthetic perspective I will say that if you are in the U.S. like I am, the design of it is different from what we are used to. We are typically used to makers bolted together in one box shape. The Moccamasters look more like an experimental chemistry set. But once again I think the design has value. Most of the parts can be removed by hand: The bottom the carafe sits on, the brew basket, the wand that the coffee travels though to drip into the basket, etc. So If anything breaks you can easily replace them by hand without tools. I've looked on their website and those parts are available at reasonable prices. And it is sturdier than it looks. Finally, it is fun to watch. Water bubbles up a clear tube inside the water housing, travels across the inside of the wand and drips visibly into the top of the basket which showers the grounds. And the open design makes the house smell great while brewing. In summary: - Makes the best coffee that I've ever made at home, easily as good as or better than a coffee shop. - Easy to use. One button and simple to load and remove the basket. - Carafe keeps the coffee warm for hours (about the same as the Bunn carafe that we had before. - Interesting design that draws attention and makes everyone in your house want to have a cup. Hope this was helpful.

I happily sit here converted from my Bunn Speed Brew habit of more than 10 years. My spouse and I drink a full pot every morning, and we often found ourselves pouring another 500-600ml back through the resting grounds into a half-full carafe after we'd had a a cup or two at the breakfast table. We searched fruitlessly for a thermal carafe that would fit the Bunn saddle and hold 35-50% more coffee...didn't exist and we tried third-party carafes as well. This Moccamaster was highly rated and had solid/safe internals for brewing a large volume of coffee quickly. The full carafe is brewed before you're done making breakfast, and the flavor is great...the drip in the brew cup can be manually adjusted to allow your coffee to steep properly in the brew cup before it drips into the carafe. The brew cup supports the correct volume of coffee for your water level. The carafe is big, but I'm used to it after a month of use, and it doesn't drip from the lip like many others. One issue observed is that pouring into a cup invariably results in some drops popping out of the cup onto the table. That trade off was okay because at least the carafe design does not drip at the lip (a major annoyance from our old carafe). You easily get a full 1750-1800ml of water into a brewed pot when full, and if you want to back off a little to find the perfect amount, it's easily achieved (we settled ~1650ml daily for the two of us...happy coffee lovers)! Note: this maker draws a lot of current and should probably be used only on an electrical circuit on a 20A or higher circuit breaker. The plug and cord are robust/thick to handle the wattage required during the brew operation. The plug will not lay flat in any outlet.

I have been percolating my coffee for years as I found home drip coffee makers too weak. My wife talked me into a drip coffee maker so I researched and found that if I was willing to spend $500.00 the Technivorm Moccamaster Grand was one of the consistently top rated coffee makers on the planet. I will not repeat the Info the Manufacturer gives but will tell you my experience. First thing, order the large coffee filters as it comes with 3 only. The unit arrived and I ran water through a cycle as per instructions. I like strong coffee but the instructions call for 10 scoops for a full pot.(1 scoop 2 tablespoons) I found that too strong. I find 8.5 scoops perfect for a full pot. The coffee maker Is well made and the engineering is elegant with no bells and whistles just an on/off button. The unit brews coffee quite fast. The coffee is hot which I like and the flavour was amazing. There is absolutely no bitterness what so ever. I started buying different brands of beans as I can really taste the difference in all the brands now. The thing I like about this coffee maker is that if I make a small pot the coffee, it still comes out the same as a full pot. I thought it might be tricky to making pots of different sizes but It is simple and the proportions of coffee to water stay relatively the same. This is the best coffee I have tasted at anyones home ever! I highly recommend..

Rápida, de gran calidad, ninguna queja en lo absoluto

Excellent coffee maker, good quality brew. Had to buy a reusable coffee filter using a dimensions noted with recommended coffee filter. I haven't perfected with the paper filter. I'm happy with the reusable filter.

Makes a great cup of coffee

La première est arrivée brisée et quand nous avons reçu le remplacement nous avons essayé l eau coule bizarrement le système ne fonctionne pas bien Nous l avons retourné ne vaut pas le prix.
