This coffee maker makes the best coffee I have ever had from a drip machine. I had a cuisinart grind and brew and the coffee was OK but nothing compared to what Id get at my local coffee house. I had gotten to the point that I wouldn't brew coffee in the morning just run over to the coffee house and grab a large cup to go.

After getting a cup of coffee at a friends house made with the Technivorm KBTS I became a convert. I now believe that coffee can be made with a drip machine thats as good as if not better than my local coffee brewer. I also upgraded to a Swissgold filter with mine...
