Great Drip Coffee Maker – Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741
Choosing a drip coffee maker that makes great coffee is harder than it may seem. What features should you look for – programmable with auto brew start and shut off, a temperature adjustable warming plate or maybe it can do jumping jacks for you. Seriously, what makes choosing a drip coffee maker hard is you cannot taste the brew it brews before you get it home. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741 is designed to do one thing and is that is to brew coffee bar quality coffee.
Technivorm has produced drip coffee makers since 1964. You have probably never heard of this company because until fairly recently these coffeemakers were not available in the U.S. The Technivorm coffee machines are made by hand and individually tested for brewing temperature and time to guarantee a great cup of coffee without that bitter taste. Some Europeans have used the same Technivorm Moccamaster for over 20 years.
America’s Test Kitchen did a head-to-head drip coffee maker comparison test. Some of these machines had all the bells and whistles including a grinder. Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741 outperformed them all in the taste test. The other coffee makers heating process was gradual, releasing water on the coffee grinds at less than the optimal water temperature during the brewing process. These drip coffee makers use an aluminum heating element opposed to a copper heating element.
The Technivorm Moccamaster copper heating element heating process is almost immediate. The optimal water temperature releases the flavors and aromas of the grinds in the basket that produces savory delicious coffee. The bitter flavors and aromas are not released.
The Specialty Coffee Association of America has certified the Technivorm KBT 741 Moccamaster meets the brewing standards for coffee makers. These standards include brewing time. The water must be at the correct brewing temperature and released at the right time to brew a perfect cup. This Technivorm Moccamaster meets the brew time standard by completing the brew process within 6 minutes. The other coffeemakers take too long to complete the brewing process. During the longer brewing process, some coffee makers actually get the water too hot to brew great coffee.
The Technivorm KBT-741 does not have a hot plate to cook your coffee after it is done. You can keep your coffee warm in the thermal carafe. It is not programmable. It does not have brew pause or an auto shutoff. If your coffee is in a thermal carafe, you do not need auto shutoff or many of the other features offered by other drip coffee makers. It does have a switch so you can pour a cup mid brew, but doing this affects the whole pot of coffee even if you currently have a coffeemaker with brew pause.
Imagine brewing coffee that is worth getting up for. Imagine wanting to go home so you can brew coffee instead of heading to a coffee bar. Imagine having your friends wonder how you make such great coffee. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741 allows you to consistently brew rich flavorful coffee that impresses every time.
