Just got the Technivorm CDT from Clive Coffee today... I'm gonna get up early to try it out! I already ran a few test runs with no grinds and I'm really impressed... Can't wait!
Mind the selector on the filter basket, you will never forget to open it after you overflow it once.
I'm sipping my first cup as I type... The simplicity of the machine astounds me! As for the cup, it's awesome! It's smoother and tastier than my old brewer. I'm thinking that I'll be able to tell the difference between grind settings and bean varieties much easier.
I picked up a gold filter I want to try in the next week or so... Is there much of a difference between gold and paper filters? I've heard more oils are able to pass through the gold mesh. I do like Frech Press coffee as well, but it seems to be a tad murky even though I use a coarse grind.
