Are you one of those unfortunate people whose coffee always seems to have a bitter taste? You are not alone. Coffee makers do not have a share button because too many people would share yuck. If you have to leave your home to get a really good cup of coffee, you should consider looking at and getting a Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741. Let’s review a few facts.

Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741 has been certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and European Coffee Brewing Centre which have surprisingly demanding standards. It is recommended by Cook’s Illustrated. It made better Joe than all of the other coffee makers in a taste comparison test conducted by America’s Test Kitchen. Seattle Coffee Gear has made videos bragging about the great brew the Technivorm Moccamaster makes.

That is quite a resume for a drip coffee maker. How does this Moccamaster make coffee that surpasses other coffee makers? The secret to their success is they use a copper heating element in their handcrafted drip coffee makers.

Your coffeemaker uses an aluminum heating element. Aluminum heating elements heat the water gradually. When the water is heated gradually, the water that is first dripped is too cool for coffee brewing. Your coffee may be hot when the pot is finished, but your brew has been ruined because the bitter flavors present in your coffee grounds were released by water that was not heated to the optimum water temperature range. If the water heated by your machine is too hot (some coffee makers get too hot after they finally heat up) or too cold when it hits your grinds, you get bitter, flat, boring coffee.

The Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741 copper heating element produces the optimum temperature for brewing coffee. The brewing process is complete within 6 minutes. Brew time is another standard of the Specialty Coffee Association of America that other brew systems do not meet. The grinds should be exposed to the heated water for a limited time range to release only the flavors that coffee drinkers savor. Most drip coffee makers brew time take much longer because they are still heating the water for your perfect cup of yuck.

This coffeemaker is simple without programmability, a warming plate to cook the coffee in a glass carafe, or any unnecessary features not needed to brew great coffee. Your coffee is kept warm in a thermal carafe with a lid.

It has an adjustable 9-hole shower head to thoroughly saturate your grinds. You can use a permanent swiss gold filter or paper filters. Some people like to use the gold filter because they say paper filters remove more oils from the grinds.

The Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741 is an 8 cup coffeemaker. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741 is a 10 cup coffee maker. All Technivorm Moccamaster are hand-made in the Netherlands with a copper heating element to brew delicious coffee. Each unit produced is tested to ensure the coffee brewing standards are met.

The Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Maker with a Thermo Carafe costs more than most coffee makers. Product owner reviews say it is worth the extra cost. You will not have to leave your home to go to a coffee bar to drink rich and smooth coffee. You can brew delicious coffee in your own home every day.
