Technivorm Moccamaster Thermal K 741 AO (2012 Model) Coffee Brewer With Glass Decanter (Brushed Matte Silver)



Excellent Coffee Brewer - just know that it is 2/3 the capacity of typical "US" brewers
I purchased this Technivorm coffee maker (the silver version) about a year and a half ago after poor experience with KitchenAid pro-series units (which are no longer offered). Researching coffee makers on-line led to several reviews where this product was praised for brewing coffee at the correct temperature, in accordance with certification standards of some sort, and lots of other gushing about how great it is. I just wanted a good quality, reliable machine to brew good coffee, and I don't want to have to replace it every 2 years.

The coffee quality is excellent and I suppose that has something to do with the temperature of the water, which is stated to be just under boiling (200 degrees F). The lid of the coffee pot incorporates a hollow mixing tube that is intended to ensure that the coffee mixes as it drips into the pot, to avoid stratification. it brews almost silently and is very quick. This all works perfectly and without any fuss whatsoever.

It is not a...

Dutch brewer makes great coffee simply and with great consistency
Owning this is like owning a 1962 Porsche. It is so simple you know how it all works just by looking at the thing. It does one task beautifully and in a vast field with few peers. It makes a great cup of drip coffee with no pretense. The Dutch like their coffee brewed warmer than Americans do, and that process releases more flavor with less bitterness.

Worth every cent!!! You will not regret the investment if you love great coffee.
I love this machine!!! The only problem is now Starbucks and Caribou drive up window coffee is nearly undrinkable for me after becoming spoiled with the wonderful coffee my Moccamaster consistantly brews.
