My Technivorm recently stopped brewing after about 12 years. I contacted Technivorm in Portland and shipped it off to them with a $59 check. It came back to me in a week cleaned and completely refurbished, ready for another 12 years! They stated to me that this machine should last a lifetime!
They last a long time, and they are easy to fix since all the spare parts are still available.
I recently bought KB741 used for 40€ and its really good, no idea how old it is but i'd guess between 10-20 years.
I stripped the water tank to pieces since it was really greasy and cleaned all the parts before putting it back together and ran citric acid water and soda water through it few times and now it works like brand new machine.
So happy to read this. I recently went with a Moccamaster after debating between it and a Breville, went with the Moccamaster and been loving it and hearing about how good Technivorm is to customers (combined with the Precision Brewer apparently lasting less than 5 years) has been so nice to hear.
@Edgar Grefve nonsense. If the water bubbles up, the water is boiling. By the time it hits the dispenser, it is perfect temperature. Simple!
That's awesome & great to know! Do you gotta have a receipt cuz I've definitely lost mine.
Wow! Cool story! Why can’t we Americans make a quality coffee maker? If we did, would we treat customers like this? MBA’s and attorneys would ensure not. Sad.
I’ve had mine for about five years still working great I did discover by keeping the flow at zero until the coffee grinds are covered in water, it gives a much fuller and richer taste just remember to turn it on after it covers a grinds. LOL
Imho the shut off on the brew basket serves two functional purposes.
First, I hate people who "steal" a cup of coffee before its done. Shut off is NOT to grab a cup of coffee before it's done brewing, which leaves the remaining coffee weak/ruined or "like tea" as I say. If you want stronger coffee then make stronger coffee DO NOT leave tea for everyone else. So:
1). If your only making like 2-3 cups use the shut it off to fill the basket with enough water to submerge the grinds before opening 1/2 way, and/or during the bloom for full pot of coffee.
2). It is to stop drips. AFTER BREWING HAS COMPLETED! As the grinds are still wet.
Thanks Gail! I love (and trust) your no BS reviews.
Love my Moccamaster! After running the circuit with the Chemex 6-cup then 3-cup, followed by Harrio single pour over, the technivorm extracts flavor the best of them all.
Yes I have a Chemex and I only use it when I get fresh beans. And then I realize how slow and deliberate you have to be with a Chemex. So back to the Technivorm I go!
It’s the Toyota of coffee brewers. It just works...every time. Love mine. I have the glass carafe because stainless steel leaves an aftertaste for me. Great customer service too.
Love this machine! I’ve had mine for like 8 yrs and still works like new! Btw- if you screw the lid back on all the way it will fit back under the filter holder.
chetbellphoto i just bought the yellow one with class pot, do you recommend hario stainless steel filters ?
What setting did you have the grinder, planing to order it. I like the Breville carafe cap over this.
Happy to see Ubora on here! Had the privilege of visiting them about a year and a half ago and was really impressed with the shop and the coffee!
Also, just got one of these after years of recommending one. Finally got sick of playing barista on my espresso machine or making multiple batches of pour over for guests. It’s not as perfect as a V60, but for making a liter of coffee it’s pretty darn good.
Would love to see you taste compare two half pots on the MM, one with the adjsustment set to restrict flow and one with full open flow.
Gail - you are ADORABLE!!!!
Good morning, ladies! I love your videos and want to say “Thank you” for always putting out good information. As a coffee lover I’ve researched and decided I need a Technivorm Moccamaster KB 741 OR KBG 741. MY BIG QUESTION: if I’m only brewing 4-6 cups half the week should I worry about a KBG not brewing quite right with its auto basket?
I just got mine. Love the thermal carafe. Coffee is great.
I have that exact same Technivorm, must be about 10 years now. It is hands down legendary as a pour over. I got mine as a gift for my new appartment and love that I got the thermos version. You could have mentioned that the glass has a hot plate instead and that the Thermos one has a little switch. When you take the bot out, the water heating switches off immediately, so no hot water/coffee drips into nothing and onto the counter.
Going from a $20 mr coffee to a Technivorm....i am so excited i cant wait
How do you like it?
Love it
do they have a smaller version ? to save a few dollars...i will never need a 10 cup coffee maker
What’s the grinder set at?
What setting on Encore burr grinder are you using? And how much coffee and water?
What is your grind setting? I have the encore grinder and just bought a kbt, awaiting delivery. Curious as to a good grind setting to start with.
Just got mine a couple days ago. Love it.😊
I have been eyeing purchasing this brewer, but in the meantime I have found my new favorite spokesperson!!!
Great video! Possible to make a smaller batch of coffee? Like 3-5 cups instead of the full 1.25L. Thank you
Wondering if this channel is monitored for replies -- just wondering if the "slow flow" (middle option) on the brew basket could be used for any quantity of coffee made to saturate the grounds all the more. Is that reasonable? Possible?
Great review. I just ordered one; will receive next week.
DOES IT GO WITH THE GRINDER?
What number do you have the grinder set on? For medium coarse grounds?
You’re not weighing the coffee, Gail???
Can this machine make really strong coffee like with a French press? I suppose you use dark roast and slow down the drip? Thanks.
hey , what exact temperature are the grounds in the brew basket when brewing? THanks
Trying to decide between this and the kbg 741. I have used a Bunn for years and generally pour the carafe Into a thermos to keep warm....I like the idea of the stainless carafe but also like the simplicity and ease of cleaning the glass....Any thoughts?
How would these compare to cafe specialty drip coffee maker?
The most important and unique feature of this brewer wasn't even mention. By closing off the filter holder, you can pre-wet the filter and let it brew some before opening it up for the drip. Additionally you can stir the goo to insure a perfect infusion before releasing the drip. This is what makes this brewer unique and the best brewer in the world.
Jay G. Correct, the blooming feature is great!
i do that with my regular drip machine. just keep the carafe off the base and let water infuse and then stir.
The best brewer? You wish. This machine takes all the control over even extraction from you. This is an automatic brew method that is far from the best.
@@vojtechpilar5809 that is a big negative Pilar! I can control the extraction, by stirring the coffee while brewing, thus improving the extraction. If I wanted to even take more time, I can stop the brewing at anytime to release the gases in the coffee, and then continue. Nothing automatic about this. Don't knock it until you try it!
@@gosman949 I'm just trying to be objective as I have used many different coffee makers. This coffee maker doesn't really make sense. It's not automatic enough for lazy people in the office nor manual enough for crafty people at home. This is a weird mix of everything that doesn't satisfy anybody.
If/when you guys start carrying the 'Pro' version of the Hario hand grinders I'd love to see a comparison of speed between the full-sized pro and the mini.
How long does the thermal carafe keep the coffee hot?
Just wondering why is it called a Moccamaster when it does pour over coffee?
Really like the new room and color setup.
what grind setting works best for machine brewers?I've tried everything from 15 to 25 on my encore grinder
I waiver between 16 and 22, adjusting for the particular coffee.
If you tried all those settings, then you already know. 🙃
Technivorm sounds serious, Moccamaster sounds serious too.
Did it only seem to me that water dripped out of first holes just because it couldn't reach holes at the end of "thermobar"?
The first few water pulses are weaker before it gets to full speed, it should fall through all the holes.
On what scale do you use the Encor baratza grinder for mocca master ?
This woman is such a champ.
Question. Does the dual insulated carafe change the flavor profile after a few hours? Does it matter if its glass or stainless steel? Thx you in advance.
I have a new Moccmaster with stainless steel carafe. I don't notice a change in the taste.
This lady rules
You can pour through that first carafe top.
yes you can!
We miss you, Gail!
Always good
Use mine when I have company and need more than 1 cup. Otherwise I use my Aeropress. Both are great ways to brew a cup of coffee.
Happy Caffe ☕️
the grinder sounds like my car in the morning :(
Gail, your videos were so informative and well done that you put the new guys on the channel to shame... And they don't seem to know the material they review as well either...
Gail, you're very funny! :D
That grinder is loud as hell lol
Christina B Best electric conical burr grinder under $150 by miles though. The Virtuoso is the next step up and is significantly quieter, but it’s about $90 more. I got mine for $225 and it’s a dream for everything from V60 to French Press.
The shut off button/tab to stop the coffee is a real drawback or fail for this coffee maker. It just does not work and never has on mine. Everything else works fine.
Man this lady is always drunk as hell, like the videos though
She never mentions that they are hand made, are they still handmade? or Gail is shitting on the company XD
Feel like I am her age by the time this video ended
How fine did u grind Gail?
