Cooks Illustrated just published the results of their testing of drip coffee makers and only one was rated "Highly Recommended" with top scores across the board: Technivorm Moccamaster. To quote the report, "Fast, very simple to operate. Tasters described coffee as “a dynamic and clean cup, flavorful and expressive,” “very good; robust but smooth.” Achieved perfect temperatures for brewing and serving and was the closest of all the coffee makers to reaching the ideal brewing time. Pieces disassemble easily for cleaning. Though not programmable, this machine was so fast and easy to use, we didn’t mind."
Cooks Illustrated finally did their homework when testing coffee equipment and set up their criteria properly. It's nice to see an excellent publication get even better.
Those who have been paying attention may recall that this is the drip coffee maker that I've been recommending. It outperformed coffee makers from Krups, Cuisinart, Black and Decker, Hamilton Beach, Mr. Coffee, Bunn, and Capresso as well as a French press (which came close, but not as good as the Technivorm).
