Nevertheless, the coffee tastes us, as opposed to our 40-EUR-Aldi machine again, it is a pleasure to drink coffee and also zuzubreiten. A little nice celebration, the rest is really done in 5-6 minutes - to look nice and quiet without Darth Vader Geröchel and on top of that kind (in the water tank is a tube through which the heated water rises).
The thermos holds at the hotel for only 1-2 hours hot, but the philosophy of Moccamaster it's to drink while coffee within 30 minutes. I think it's stupid to have to bring only the kettle to boil water to preheat the thermos. Why you can not make a thermos that keeps you warm at least 4 hours at the price and this premium Anspruchsgequassel? Extrapolated over the lifetime of the machine that is the energy killer.
The whole of Marketinggebrabbel for handmade and so I think anyway for extremely bloated. In a video of the production of Moccamaster you can see how ready produced parts are screwed together. Well, you can also call handmade.
Ever seems to me this company to make extremely good social media marketing because there are very many web videos from all over the world - that seems to be built very skillfully. But ok, better, a solid product intelligently market to the consumer, as these manufacturers who turn on us 30 EUR machines with stinking plastic, the calcified after 3 weeks and break down after 12 months.
With all my grumbling: we do not regret the purchase.
Update after nearly one year use: cooking machine reliable and virtually maintenance-free good tasting coffee, we are very satisfied. A single flaw remains: coffee is for small quantities scheduled (2-4 cups) because of heat loss through the pot quickly lukewarm. Otherwise everything really excellent.
