The typical coffee maker is an atheistically pleasing appliance that brews coffee that will send you running to a coffee shop whenever you want a decent cup of coffee. Why? It does not meet the standards of the SCAA. The SCAA knows what is takes to get the best brew from coffee grinds.
One of the most important standards established by the SCAA is brew temperature. Brew temperature is the temperature of the water before it is dripped on the coffee grinds. If the water temperature is not correct, the bitter flavors and aromas are released from your coffee grinds.
The Moccamaster KBTS741 is able to heat water quickly because hidden underneath the exterior of this European coffee maker is a copper heating element. Your coffee maker heats water with an aluminum heating element. The critical difference is copper is an excellent conductor of heat while aluminum - not so much. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741 heats water quickly while coffee makers with an aluminum heating element heat water gradually.
The reason aluminum heating elements are used in coffee makers is aluminum is cheaper than copper. To compensate for the gradual heating properties of aluminum, some coffee makers reach a final temperature that is too hot for coffee brewing to ensure your coffee is hot after the brewing process is finally complete. The used of the word finally was intentional and you will see why in a moment.
Another standard the SCAA measures when evaluating the suitability of a coffee maker for its stamp of approval is brew time. Brew time is not the time it takes your coffee maker to make a pot of coffee. Brew time is the amount of time properly heated water has contact with the coffee grinds. The Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741brew time is approximately 8.5 minutes if you include the time it takes to completely drip into the carafe. The actual brew time is about 6 minutes.
Over or under exposure of heated water to the coffee grinds also affects the flavors released in your brew. The water heating process and the contact time of that water with the coffee grinds work hand-in-hand to brew rich flavorful coffee or coffee that has that flat and bitter taste.
The temperature the heating element reaches is set at the factory so unless you have the tools and experience of working with electrical heating, you cannot change this setting. Even if you did have this knowledge, it would not change the fact you are working with an inferior conductor of heat. And this will produce an inferior cup of coffee.
The Technivorm Moccamaster KBTS741 is built to do one thing - brew rich full favored coffee. It is not programmable. It does not have a grinder. It does not have an auto-shutoff feature or other features that you may not use. It just brews coffee that you will enjoy every time you make coffee.
