Capresso MT900 Coffee Maker
Overview
You can't reinvent the wheel, or the coffee maker. Instead, the Capresso MT900 aims to be a classic coffee maker done well. It sounds like small praise, but how many good coffee makers can you name off-hand? The MT900 hits all the right points—ideal 185º in the cup, wide spray head, insulated carafe, removable water tank, charcoal water filter, automatic-on and classic melitta #4 cone filter. Even better, a reusable goldtone filter and a setting for small batches of coffee double the MT900's utility.

SCG Staff Says... | When testing against other drip machines, we found an almost unanimous preference for paper-filtered baskets instead of metal. The MT900 takes the ubiquitous Melitta Cone #4 filter if you prefer it over the included metal. |
How Does it Compare? | While brew temp is notoriously difficult to test, a rough measurement (a probe thermometer wedged into the brew basket) registered a surprisingly consistent 190 degree brew temperature. Not quite up to the SCAA's standards, but we were more than happy with our results. |
Tips and Tricks | Preheat your carafe with hot water before brewing! This will keep your coffee piping hot for hours. |
