Technivorm Moccamaster One-Cup Brewer Review

I don’t drink coffee because it hurts my stomach and makes me feel jittery all day. While this has always been a source of frustration for me since I love the taste as much as the next person, it has also been one of the biggest pain points in my marriage. For years, my husband couldn’t figure out how to brew enough for just one person, which led to a lot of wasted beans and even more wasted money. Since he prefers drip coffee made from freshly ground beans, even the Nespresso machine he got as a gift from my parents a few years ago wasn’t able to completely solve the problem.

Given how early he gets up for work (and how limited his brain power is at such an ungodly hour), he needed a tool that would do all of the thinking for him. I was fully on board with this, so long as it didn’t take up too much of our precious counter space. Luckily, it didn’t take long for him to find the Moccamaster Technivorm one-cup brewer, a single-serve coffee machine that’s lightweight and gorgeous enough to display proudly in our kitchen. In short, it solved all of our issues without compromising on quality. 

Technivorm Moccamaster One-Cup Brewer

These days, my husband’s morning routine is streamlined and simple. He grinds coffee beans using Moccamaster’s burr grinder, scoops them into the brewer’s filter-lined basket, pours water into the reservoir, and sets it to brew before heading upstairs to finish getting ready. By the time he leaves for work, his travel mug is filled with exactly 10 ounces of coffee, and he’s only lost about 60 seconds to prepping and cleaning. 

My husband isn’t the only fan of Moccamaster’s clever brewer. One Amazon shopper wrote that it’s “a great option if you want one cup of high-quality coffee” and another reviewer added that theirs is “still going strong” after five years of daily use. Or, if you’re looking for a full-sized brewer, Food & Wine editors swear by Moccamaster’s 10-cup model for its “sophisticated” design that’s “surprisingly easy to use.”

This clever one-cup machine helps my husband spend less money on beans and enjoy his coffee more. One color is already sold out, so don’t wait to buy yours.
