{{Short description|Dutch manufacturer of drip coffee machines and coffee grinders}} '''Technivorm '''is a family-owned Dutch manufacturer founded by Gerard-Clement Smit in Amerongen, The Netherlands. It produces Moccamaster, a drip coffee maker designed in 1968 and first released in 1969. In 2017, the 10-millionth Moccamaster was sold. As of 2019, Technivorm and Moccamaster have approximately 200 employees.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://sprudge.com/the-making-of-a-master-inside-the-technivorm-factory-137235.html|title=The Making Of A Master: Inside The Technivorm Factory|last=Hof|first=Karina|date=2019-01-22|website=Sprudge|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-23}}</ref>

== Moccamaster == thumb|Moccamaster K741.64B The Moccamaster KBG 741 AO has 137 parts. This includes a water reservoir that drips into a heater located in the base, and when the water reaches the boiling point of {{convert|100|C|abbr=off}}, it bubbles up through a tube in the center of the reservoir. This delivers the hot water to a cone-shaped coffee grind holder, which drips into a carafe at {{convert|92|to|96|C}}, considered an optimal temperature range. In premium models while the coffee enters the carafe, it passes through a destratification tube. The tube delivers the liquid coffee to the bottom of the carafe, so that weaker coffee (what is dripped through the beans at the end) is distributed evenly with the stronger coffee (that is pumped through the coffee first).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/a13150404/things-come-apart-coffeemaker-december-2017/|title=What's Inside This Classic Coffee Maker?|last=Mclellan|first=Todd|date=2017-12-24|website=Popular Mechanics|language=en-US|access-date=2019-09-23}}</ref>
