The brewing housing is made of high-quality, durable metal, and the machine has a manual adjust drip-stop brew-basket.

It takes four to six minutes to brew a full or half carafe of coffee, and the brewing is not noisy. The brewing happens at a temperature of 196 to 205 degrees F. A pulse action is used to extract the flavor of the coffee, and you should get around two cups from a single scoop. This machine is approved by the ECBC, SCAA, and SCAE. It comes with a 5-year warranty if you buy from an authorized reseller.
Benefits you can expect
You will not be disappointed with the quality of coffee you get from the Technivorm Mochamaster. Even if you are a finicky person who relishes the manual roasting and steeping processes, there comes a time when you have to serve coffee to more than yourself.

That’s when you need something like the Mochamaster to keep up your reputation of a true ‘coffee-ista.’ Good size, easy operation, durable and safe materials plus a good warranty period are some of the other benefits of this brewer.
Pros and Cons
Pros of the machine
The Mochamaster is a thoughtfully designed machine. Installation is a breeze as the coffee maker comes assembled and all you have to do is fix the brew head, filter, and covers. It is also simple to operate. Once you add the ground coffee and water, just a few clicks and your coffee is brewing. You don’t have to worry about hot liquids coming into prolonged contact with plastics and slowly poisoning you. All the plastics used are BPA/BPS free. The brewer comes with removable parts so they can be cleaned, maintained and even replaced. 10 cups mean that the coffee maker is perfect when you have company or for use in an office.
Plus points of the brew
The beginning of good coffee is the grind. Use a good quality grinder to get a medium grind, and you should get rich, full-bodied coffee sure to satiate your taste buds. The pulse action along with the temperature control seems to do the trick here. If you rinse the carafe with hot water before use, your coffee should stay warm for around five hours.
Cons
Just a few things to be careful about to complete this Technivorm Mochamaster review. Don’t pour with the lid on as this make cause some spillage. If you are not using it daily, unplug it and turn it over so that no water accumulates at the bottom. Clean the carafe gently – over a long period, you don’t want it to lose its vacuum and turn into nothing but an ordinary pot.
