Crew Review: Technivorm CDGT - Redux!

Effortlessly embodying the axioms you get what you pay for and you get what you give, all it takes is one sip of the coffee produced by a Technivorm and you understand why it's one of the specialty coffee world's darlings. Robustly built with high quality components -- including a copper heating element -- and simple in its feature set, this is not the coffee maker that will grind your coffee for you, brew it before you wake up, clean itself at the touch of a button ... and then walk the dog. It's also not the coffee maker that is going to go out in a blaze of glory after a couple of years -- we've heard tales of folks rockin' the same Technivorm they purchased in the '70s. And while its five year warranty isn't going to cover its entire lifetime, it's still the broadest warranty offered on drip brewers. In this review, Gail covers the cylindrical CDGT model, which, in addition to its curvy design, features a thermal carafe and mid-brew interrupt. Watch as she talks to us about its specs and then demonstrates making some of the best coffee we've had from a drip coffee maker.
