By design, I would have the Moccamaster initially classified as east product. And in fact, they sprayed the solid but somewhat stale charm of a Wartburg or internships. Actually, however, this classic comes from the Netherlands.
A unique feature is the rock-solid, low-maintenance design of the device. The housing is predominantly made of metal, only water tank and filters are made of plastic. Here I would have wished other materials (glass, ceramics), but it is crucial that the coffee does not taste of plastic, and he does not certainly.
Shortly after switching on you can see how the heated water bubbles up the glass tube inside the water tank. That looks funny, but after 6 minutes again an end to the drama, because then the 10 cups of coffee are ready. So fast is hardly another coffee! And that will also benefit the coffee experience, because the surge-like pouring the coffee powder is the Handaufbrühen very close. It is fair to say that the Moccamaster with the Mug Volume something cheats here. The "10 cups" are in reality at best. 8
I grind my coffee each fresh before cooking. For this I use this coffee grinder Rommelsbacher, which I highly recommend: ROMMELSBACHER EKM 200 with burr grinder - COFFEE GRINDER - 110 Watt - black. The coffee tastes just wonderful! I prefer mild roasts, which I then Dosière prefer slightly higher. But here at the Moccamaster I get even with the standard amount of a very aromatic coffee without too much bitterness.
The handling is a bit strange. there is no IR cut filter and no hinged cover (except for the coffee pot). But one has here clearly defined items that are also easy to clean if necessary. The parts are about the way also harmless to stay in the dishwasher.
I like the Moccamaster. Although they may be slightly more expensive, but in the end you can buy here for eternity. All items can be at any time later from the manufacturer, is also the whole machine up very easy to repair. But, frankly, I can not imagine someday having to fix something here myself.
