Brewing with the Moccamaster

The Moccamaster by Technivorm
Master Making Coffee
While the cost of the Technivorm Moccamaster may be a little steep (retails around $320 at Williams Sonoma), it really does brew a great cup of coffee. At first, out of the box I thought it would be complicated. It is on the larger side in terms of taking up counter space, but it is quite simple to use. The only thing that might be a downside to some, is that there is no programmable time setting on the machine, and the carafe (thermal jug) is not dishwasher safe.
Per the company website, "All Technivorm products are granted with a Seal of Approval meeting the strict quality guidelines of the European Coffee Brewing Center’s (ECBC).
The Moccamaster KBGT model features a thermal jug and an automatic drip-stop brew-basket that stops the flow of coffee if the jug is pulled away. The KBGT brews a full 10-cups pot of coffee in six minutes. The thermal jug will keep your coffee hot up to an hour. A travel lid it includes to keep the coffee hot even longer".
I should note, I am using Melitta #4 natural brown, unbleached Coffee Filters when using the Moccamaster. You can purchase them directly on the company website here: https://shoponline.melitta.com/collections/filters/products/4-cone-filter-paper-natural-brown-100-count
