Technivorm KBT 741 10-Cup Brewer

Technivorm KBT 741 10-Cup Brewer The Technivorm is one of the only brewers to pass the Specialty Coffee Association of America's standards for brewing. This model gets water to the optimal temperature of 200 degrees. A powerful heating element gets up to temperature in seconds and the brewer has an optimal brew cycle of approximately 7 minutes, producing a 4-6 minute saturation time for coffee grounds. These brewers are produced in the Netherlands and only found through a few sources in the United States. The Technivorm brews directly into a thermal carafe, which allows the coffee to stay hot. This also keeps it off a heating element, thereby preventing that "burned" taste.

We'll even include a complimentary bag of fresh roasted IE Coffee to get you started off right.

Perfect Brewing Notes:
We recommend you choose grind level coarse. It is a bit coarser than auto drip and will better withstand the high water temperature that this brewer produces. Also, note that the manufacturer's water level markings on the side of the water-holding tank do not indicate the recommended 6oz. cup size. Please use your own measuring cup to correctly measure the proper grounds to water ratio (2 level tablespoons ground coffee to 6oz. of cold, filtered water).
