In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Will Etherington of Technivorm-Moccamaster to discuss how to work out what the best automatic coffee maker for your home is. They look at how the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) certified home brewers. Then take a look at some of the common flaws that many home brewers have.

Will provides an insight into how Moccamasters have designed their brewers so that they do not have those flaws. They also look at some other models on the SCA list and explain how to choose a good one that you can afford for your home.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The makers of brewers can apply to have the SCA review their coffee pots.

• There are a lot of coffee brewers out there that do not function well.
• To make a good coffee, the brewer needs to conform to the standards for the 4 Ts - time, temperature, turbulence, and total dissolved solids. 
• Investing in a good quality brewer is worth doing, especially one that can be serviced and repaired.
• Understand the type of grind and ratios that will get the best results for your particular brewer.

BEST MOMENTS
‘The majority of coffee pots out there are not going to get your water up to the right temperature. ´

‘I'd say that we are the only coffeemaker on the market with a copper boiling element.’
