Technivorm Coffee Maker

 


The manufacturer of the Technivorm coffee maker takes great pride in its products because of their quality. This can be attributed to the fact that every coffee maker coming from the Technivorm factories are assembled by hand and then individually tested in actual situations.

For purposes of this review, we shall focus on the Moccamaster KBT741, which is one of the more popular coffee makers from Technivorm. By the way, Technivorm also produces other Moccamaster units under three categories - At Work, At Home and At Extra.

Technivorm Product Description

The stainless steel Moccamaster KBT741 is an auto-drip coffeemaker with a capacity of 10 cups per cycle. It has a thermal carafe instead of the glass carafe of its cousin, the KBG741, which makes for hot coffee hours after making it.

This particular Technivorm coffee maker has a pause-and-serve feature, which makes it possible to pour coffee even the drip cycle is still incomplete, without making too much of a mess on the counter. Other features include an adjustable hot plate, an automatic shut-off and a 1 year warranty on the unit.

The Pros of the Technivorm

The KBT741 is one of the few coffee makers with the approval of the Specialty Coffee Association of America and Europe as well as the European Coffee Brewing Centre, which says plenty of things about the quality of the product.

Both of these organizations have exacting requirements when it comes to brewing temperature, water-coffee contact time and holding temperature.

Thus, most buyers delightedly discover that the coffee tastes and smells great - indeed, the foremost reason for the popularity of the Technivorm coffee maker.

In fact, any coffee maker that does not make good coffee is not worth the purchase price paid for it.

Many consumers also like that it is easy to use since there are fewer controls to worry about during the process. And with its solid construction, the KBT741technivor-kbt741 is excellent value for your money where durability and longevity are concerned.

What are the Cons?

Still, one must consider the disadvantages before deciding on the purchase.

The KBT741 is expensive with prices starting at $299 excluding the shipping and handling charges.
You may want to look at other less expensive coffee makers with the same good qualities.

This particular Technivorm coffee maker is also on the bulky side, which makes it more at home in a laboratory than in a home kitchen. Unless, of course, you have a kitchen serving as your coffee laboratory, in which case, then it will blend in.

So what's the conclusion?

For all its bulk, however, the Moccamaster has very little features in relation to its size. There are no programmable timer, no small batch settings, no time-clean indicator, no cleaning cycle and no cord storage. Indeed, these may be one "no" too many for its price tag.

And then there is also the difficulty of finding it in stores. In most instances, you will have to check online to purchase one for your home. Even if online shopping is a great option, there are times when we want to touch the product before we actually take it home with us.

And so the question remains, is the Moccamaster KBT741 Technivorm coffee maker any good? Well, if you can live with the bulky size and the lack of features in favor of excellent coffee, then of course it is!
