I think it’s a personal preference kind of thing…the paper filters may take out more oils than the gold, so I think it does make a difference in the flavor. – Kat

In the video, you used a paper filter. For this particular model, is it better to use a gold filter vs. a paper filter?

I’ve heard so much about the Technivorm but I can’t seem to find any around where I live to actuallly taste the coffee first.

Exactly what a review should be! Sensible, informative, not too long. I wish I lived in your area so I could come by for a cup and to chat about coffee! Thanks for the review! (P.S. Just got one for my 45th birthday and I love it.)

it’s a great coffee maker :) I love it! Altough i don’t have the thermos but still great coffee :)

You should preheat the thermos flask, before making that coffee.

The gold standard of drippers around here. Every self-respecting office has a double pot model. Makes even the crappiest coffee drinkable.

Wow — I want to see! You should send me a photo. – Kat

Moccamasters are indeed the most famous coffemakers for drip coffee here in Sweden. I got the Siemens Porsche design unit in brushed aluminium. Maybe not as good but looks good as **** (got it before I really got interrested in coffee)!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, we have just got these in here and are starting to experiment with them. Really good coffee! All the models we brought in have metal casings, so hopefully that upgrade in the new line will stick around :) – Kat

These are indeed great coffee makers. They also last forever, if you get one with a metal housing. The ones with a plastic housing tend to crack due to the heat if it’s left turned on.
