I have had this unit for four years and it is still going strong.The water temperature and shutoff on the filter housing make this the Ferarri of coffee makers.There is no timer, so you actually have to make the coffee.I like to let the filter fill with hot water with the flow restrictor shut.This allows me to stir the coffee and wet the entire contents, allowing it to absorb the water fully.I then allow the coffee to flow on the first setting (slow).If you don't mind a little labor and you like stick shifts, this is an amazing machine. Update:Still use this machine daily, but there are cones now available (Clever Coffee Dripper) with the flow restrictor that do similar work (cheaper) if you don't need the carafe, don't mind heating your own water, or like to brew one or two cups at a time. Still best machine IMO.

Product Description:
There are hundreds of options out there for a coffeemaker. From high end machines that cost $500 to cheap throwaway models that can be had for $25, there's a machine to suit everybody. But there's only one machine that suits us, and that's the Technivorm Moccamaster. The reason is simple. Most machines out there have too many plastic parts, unnecessary electronic gadgetry, and they simply make bad coffee. This solid, simple, and mechanically perfect coffee maker has been designed and manufactured in the Netherlands since 1964. With good reason it is only one of two coffeemakers that are certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA). The Moccamaster does not come equipped with flashing lights, programmable software, or a built-in grinder. It boasts a simple on/off switch that starts the brewing cycle and a three-position switch on the filter basket that controls the flow of coffee into the carafe. The Technivorm makes rich, flavorful coffee and is built to last decades. See for yourself why the Technivorm is such a great coffee maker!
