Technivorm KBG741 AO Red Metallic Moccamaster Glass Carafe Coffee Maker

Best coffee maker EVER
I purchased this coffee maker because of the review in Cooks Illustrated magazine. They described the coffee maker exactly as it works. I don't even grind my own beans and this coffee maker, makes awesome coffee. I had been using a Mr. Coffee product for years believing that they knew how to make a great coffee maker. They don't.

What I found was that the Technivorm has been awarded for its consistent performance for the last several years.

So, I bit the bullet, paid a bit more and ordered this sporty red model. Out of the box it is a well made, beautiful kitchen accessory. It is so.....stylish. Everyone that sees it has to ask about it.

Here's my story:
I picked glass because I don't like stainless steel (I don't like to have to "warm" it and I think stainless imparts a funny taste).
I didn't go with the model that you can adjust the basket from open, to half-way, to closed. The reason: I don't want to "mess" around, I don't want to take chance of an overflow because...
