You can't make great coffee without a great coffee maker—even if you have fancy beans that were hand-picked from a non-GMO field. Just saying. After testing a variety of drip coffee makers, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and taste of the Technivorm Moccamaster.

But, alas, with great quality typically comes a high price. Usually, the Moccamaster lineup is pretty pricey at around $300-$350, but right now, you can get one for $100 off at Massdrop. You may think $200 for a coffee pot still sounds a bit ridiculous, but we think it's well worth it for possibly the best tasting pot of coffee you'll ever make. Unfortunately, the Moccamaster won't ship until Jan. 10, so it won't arrive in time for Christmas. But at this price, it's still a great opportunity to treat yourself for the new year or give someone a late holiday gift.

Our Editor-In-Chief is obsessed with this coffee maker. Seriously, he won't stop raving about it at the office while simultaneously judging me for my apparently bad Keurig habit.

The key difference between the Moccamaster and other coffee brewers is it has a copper heating element as opposed to the typical aluminum. This allows the coffee to be brewed perfectly between 196ºF and 205ºF—the ideal temperature for coffee—for a smooth taste that's not bitter like you'll find with other cheaper models.

To access this incredible deal, you'll have to make an account with Massdrop, but it's free and will only take a few seconds of your time. Also, this deal only goes until Sunday, Dec. 23, so if you want to upgrade your morning coffee, you might want to act sooner than later.
