For coffee lovers, the perfect cup of coffee is a daily ritual worth savoring. The Moccamaster 10 Cup Coffee Machine, a product of the renowned Dutch company Technivorm, is revered by coffee aficionados for its exceptional brewing capabilities and remarkable build quality. In this article, we will delve into the importance of its precise water temperature, discuss its longevity and exceptional build, highlight its brewing speed, and explore the impact of different models on flavor.
One of the key factors that sets the Moccamaster 10 Cup Coffee Machine apart is its ability to brew coffee at the perfect water temperature. The machine features a copper heating element that rapidly heats the water to the ideal range of 196 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit (91 to 96 degrees Celsius). This temperature range ensures optimal extraction, unlocking the full spectrum of flavors from the coffee grounds. Consistently brewing at the ideal temperature results in a cup of coffee that is rich, flavorful, and well-balanced. This element also ensures that coffee is brewed at a drinkable temperature right after brewing.
Technivorm, the company behind Moccamaster, has a rich history dating back to 1964. Their coffee machines are renowned for their exceptional build quality and longevity. Unlike many modern coffee machines made primarily of plastic, Moccamaster machines are built with durable materials such as aluminum and stainless steel. This robust construction ensures their longevity, and with proper care, they can last for generations. Pretty much the only company out there to the author’s knowledge, the machines are designed to be rebuildable, allowing users to replace individual components and keep their Moccamaster in prime working condition for years to come.
The Moccamaster 10 Cup Coffee Machine is also admired for its impressive brewing speed. It can brew a full carafe of coffee in just 4 to 6 minutes. Why is speed important? Because in the morning, let’s be honest, time is of the essence. Coffee is just one of those items that when you want it, you really do need it.
The author selected this model due to several factors. The 10 cup is great nearly whatever you can throw at it. From just a solo endeavor, or the coffee addict who drinks a pot. It’s going to work for you, albeit with a prioritization of taste. If you are looking to brew coffee and have it sit all day and stay hot (and subsequently taste like shit), this is not the model for you. Moccamasters are programmed to turn the heating element off after 100 minutes. This of course should not be a drawback in the author’s mind because who wants to drink burnt and horrible-tasting coffee thats been sitting all day?
Understand as well when you are buying a Moccamaster there is a cult like following to these models. Albit a rare event, if you ever have the chance to talk to a legit coffee snob, competitive cupper, or barista, they are going to be impressed by you owning this beast. It needs to be mentioned as well, it’s got a good form to it. Available in all sorts of colors, it makes a statement on the countertop which also is nice considering you’re likely to be staring at it for years to come.
