Your old college coffee pot could never.
To learn more about the features and specs that play a part in why some machines brew superior coffee, I turned to Cara Mitchell, public education manager at, a chain of cafés in NYC that has been in business for 19 years. Joe’s house drip coffee has been dependably excellent for the seven years I’ve been sipping it, first as a study aide when I was a harried university student and more recently as an occasional pick-me-up on the way to work.
To help me understand the difference between a $30 drip coffee maker and a high-end machine that costs four times that amount, I asked Mitchell what I’m actually paying for. Generally, “the more expensive machines are maintaining water temperature much better than the less expensive,” she says, which helps extract maximum flavor from your beans. “They’re also dispensing the water a little more evenly over the bed of coffee [grounds]. And both of those things are really important.
Of all its charms, my favorite feature of the Moccamaster Technivorm KBT is that it doesn’t use a glass pot and hot plate to keep your batch of coffee warm. Instead, coffee is brewed directly into a thermal carafe that maintains the temperature, as opposed to “cooking” it the way the machines with glass carafes and hot plates tend to do. “If you leave it too long on that hot plate, it’s going to end up tasting, well, not as good as if you maybe drank it 45 minutes earlier,” cautions Mitchell.
I love my machine, but it’s not the only drip coffee maker on the market that meets Mitchell’s criteria for brewing great-tasting coffee. If you’re looking for something less expensive, more glamorous, or slightly smaller, we’ve got options for you as well.“People don't have to have the most expensive equipment in order to get the quality coffee at home,” says Mitchell, who recommends
as a more affordable option. For coffee lovers, it’s a “great entry-level machine at an excellent price point,” she says, especially in comparison to big-ticket brewers on the market.
