Dolly Parton funded research for COVID-19 vaccines, she reminds people to get off and go for their physical and mental health, but if you ask me, she’s never got anything quite right like these texts: “Well, I fall out of bed and stumble into the kitchen / pour myself a cup of ambition / yawn and stretch and try to come to life. ” The ambition in question – for those of you who are not naturally / deeply into tune – is coffee. She’s talking about coffee. And the Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Maker is the jug that saved me cups worth thousands of dollars.

Another important aspect of the brewing process is that the water soaks the entire bean basket evenly so that all beans are used to full flavor, not just those at the bottom of the basket. Again, this helps with taste – and ambition – as you get the most out of the coffee you use. I find when I use the machine my coffee beans last even longer because I am not forced to increase the amount of coffee to get the caffeination I like.

While this calibrated coffee creation seems to take extra time, when using the Moccamaster, the brewing process is surprisingly quick – the whole shebang takes five to six minutes. However, if you’re like me and need a jolt in the morning as soon as your feet hit the ground, you’ll enjoy the fact that there is a full drip stop switch that allows you to steal a quick cup of coffee before the whole pot is brewed . A hotplate stays on for an hour to heat the pot and then turns off to be on the safe side.

Best of all, this Dutch-made machine looks surprisingly great on your counter in a way that most coffee pots don’t. It has a modular design that looks and feels really modern, and on top of that, it comes in a rainbow of colors that will make it feel right at home in your kitchen. I like mine so much that I gave my brother one for Christmas last year, and after his first cup he wrote to me: “Noticeably better coffee this morning, thank you!” Which I will understand in such a way that, like Dolly, I got it right.
