Filter coffee maker: an uncomplicated way to prepare coffee
Almost every German household and office has a filter coffee maker that is in daily use. It brews even large quantities of aromatic coffee in just a few minutes and is completely uncomplicated to operate. A particularly popular type of filter machine is the Mokkamaster. Many experts consider the Moccamaster to be the best filter coffee maker in terms of aroma and taste. This branded product from the Dutch manufacturer scores with its powerful heating element, which is made of copper. The water, brought to the optimal brewing temperature between 92 and 96 °C, is transferred without heat loss and flows through a passage with nine holes onto the coffee powder. The automatic drip stop contributes to the comfortable handling of the Moccamaster coffee machines, as does the mixing filter of the glass jug.

General
The filter coffee maker has enjoyed great popularity since its invention in the mid-19th century. It allows you to prepare delicious coffee in a particularly uncomplicated way.

In the meantime, renowned Italian manufacturers of fully and semi-automatic coffee machines, such as the well-known De'Longhi label, have also included coffee machines with filters in their product range.
