the best drip coffee maker

[mark2014]

Hi,

Has anyone here got a good drip coffee maker if you want to advice me to buy one what would you suggest?

Really depends on your budget, use, expectations, etc. Some may suggest you go another route and avoid drip, but since you asked I highly suggest this machine...

Phase Brew HG | Bunn

OR the thermal carafe version at this killer price if you're a Costco member...

I bought the HG version back around Sept 2013 to brew black tea and it's a fantastic machine. It's one of only 4 machines certified by the SCAA (last time I checked anyway) that can brew hot enough consistently and have the proper flow rate for superb coffee.
It takes about 6 minutes for the water to heat to 203~ degrees and 3.5-4 minutes to flow through the basket depending on volume/grind fineness of what you're brewing. I did read about some issues they had early on, but they have definitely been resolved and I have nothing but praise for this drip machine. IMBHO it's also the most awesome looking machine of it's kind.

The Technivorm, Bonavita, and Bunn Phase Brew HG are all great imo, can't go wrong either way. Just remember to pair with a good coarse grinder like a Baratza Encore and fresh beans and any of them will make great drip coffee.

I have the Technivorm KBT741 Moccamaster. It has a 6 year guarantee and is made in the Neatherlands by Neanderthals (people that are from the neatherlands, right?)

It's certainly not a small coffeemaker. Did it really get swipped off your desk?

 

[topher]

Yup along with a small air roaster...and all my cupping spoons. Sigh.

I remember when you told me that story Chris when I was at your shop lol

Bunn work well for us. Their heater cores are high quality. You do have to snake them out from time to time and keep them cleaned from the mineral residue that builds up but it's a fast process.

Use balanced water and/or descale often to eliminate mineral deposits.

what do you think of Mr coffee i'm planning to buy Mr Coffee BVMC-SJX33GT 12- Cup it has great features, and it brew faster than any other brewer for cup plus the super design what do you think I go for Mr coffee drip coffee maker?

I was interested in that model until I took a closer look at the shower head design, looked closely at the specs, etc. Gets good reviews though.

There are just a handful of 'home' drip machines that get the nod from the SCAA.
