The best extraction during brewing requires a temperature of 200° F.
Most home brewers barely reach 185° F. The end result is a poorly extracted pot of coffee which means poor taste and the inability to get the fine subtleties of different coffee varietals.
Technivorm is certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) because it will brew at the correct temperature of 200° F every time.
Technivorm uses a very powerful 1475 watt heater to insure the consistent temperature; very few home brewers even have 1200 watt heater and none are as powerful.
If you are serious about your drip coffee, then we absolutely recommend Technivorm!
