"Get a Grip, NYTs readers and staffers: You guys CLEARLY HAVE TOO MUCH CASH ON HAND"
So said a commenter to the New York Times’s Wirecutter review of some expensive, at least to my way of thinking, coffee makers.
It’s a year old. Maybe by now they’ve come to their senses.

If You Prefer Chic to Cheap, Try the Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Maker

A good, multi-cup coffee maker can save the morning after a crummy night’s sleep.
It can endear you to your groggy houseguests, and make working from home more efficient.
And if you care about coffee, it’s worth investing in a machine that will brew a truly delicious pot every time.
Of the brewers we recommend in our guide to the best drip coffee makers, the Technivorm Moccamaster KBT is not the most high tech. It doesn’t have a bunch of preset functions or features like an auto-brew program. But it (along with other Moccamaster models) does have a following of fiercely loyal fans among our staff, as well as the greater community of coffee obsessives for its great coffee, good design, and reputation for longevity.
Great-tasting coffee, bare-bones design
Technivorm Moccamaster KBT
This reliable workhorse turns out a nuanced, flavorful pot and comes with a much longer warranty than our other picks.
$339 from Amazon
$349 from Walmart
