Editorial Review:

The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT-741 Clubline brewer is a simple, precise and elegant electric drip brewer. No gadgets here. This is a handmade coffeemaker built in Holland. The main asset of the Moccamaster is its ability to maintain perfect brewing temperature throughout the entire brewing cycle, an attribute that has earned it certification from at least two coffee trade associations. This is a quality product, done simply.It uses an independent energy-efficient heat exchanger that brews directly into the stainless-steel-lined ThermoJug server. That means your coffee maintains an optimal temperature between 194 and 204??F. A consistent temperature is key to preserving the flavors and aromas of coffee, and this machine does just that. It also brews a full pot in about 5-6 minutes.The Technivorm Thermal takes an exceptional machine ??? the Technivorm Clubline KB 741 ??? and improves upon it by replacing a hot plate with a thermal carafe. There???s a reason that Technivorm has created 1 of only 2 machines that meet the Specialty Coffee Association of America???s (SCAA) certification standards, and that???s because its design preserves the entire spectrum of flavors in every cup. Water is heated and passes through the coffee consistently, brewing quickly and quietly. It is also approved by the European Coffee Brewing Centre (ECBC) and Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE). Only a h

Great Coffee Maker 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Our office finally pitched in and purchased this coffee maker, after years of going through leaky household-type coffee makers. We used to run two coffee makers all day long - probably eight pots per day each. Our new Bunn is faster and can keep up with our demand. Be aware that this Bunn VLPF does NOT include the two decanters pictured. Only when the box arrived, did the outside of the box mention "decanters not included." We've been using it for over a week now and so-far-so-good. I also purchased the extra 3-year warranty, just in case.

Works like a champ 5 out of 5 stars.

The office needed a replacement for our coffee station. Our old one was just like this. Could not find anything close in features or price until I found this on Amazon. The perfect replacement -- exactly like the old one that worked for 12-15 years. Coffee junkies are happy. I'm happy.

Editorial Review:

The Bunn VLPF is commercial brewing unit that offers the full features and quality of a restaurant brewer. This unit can brew nearly 4 gallons of perfect coffee every hour -- enough to satisfy the needs of any office or home. NOTE: This model requires a water line connection and 2-wires plus ground service rated 120V, single phase, 60Hz. This commercial unit must be attached to a plumbing line.

Grind, Tamp, Brew and Clean in under 60 seconds..with a push of a button! Make perfect espressos, cappuccinos, lattes and crema coffees..every time! The Impressa C5 produces more crema for the best high-pressure-brewed coffee, espresso, cappuccino, latte, cafe mocha latte and more. The Impressa C5 features an illuminated Rotary Dial for a whole range of coffee specialties using a single control. With the Rotary Dial operating system you simply turn and select the symbol to choose between espresso or crema coffee and one or two cups. The variable brewing chamber holds between 5 and 16 grams of ground coffee, making it possible to brew any kind of coffee from a single 1-ounce ristretto to two 8-ounce cups of coffee at one time. The Impressa C5 features a stainless steel Thermoblock heating system and an 18-bar pressure pump that guarantees fully aromatic high pressure brewed coffee and a strong layer of crema. The Impressa C5 comes equipped with a Dual Frother PLUS, which makes it easy to froth or steam milk like a barista into any sized pitcher or directly into the cup. There is also a dispenser for hot water. A Clearyl Water Filtration System purifies water and eliminates the need for decalcification. A separate coffee funnel can be used with different varieties of pre-ground coffee, such as decaf, when there are regular beans in the bean container. The commercial quality conical steel burr grinder with six fineness settings has a special design to maximize the flavor and aroma of the coffee. The machine alerts the user to add fresh coffee beans when needed. Self-monitoring rinsing, cleaning and descaling programs make it easy to keep the Impressa C5 in top condition. All setting and activities are permanently stored in a built-in memory.

Editorial Review:

Retro-style coffee maker complements any style kitchen. Fully programmable, the coffee maker features a user-friendly digital clock and the 24-hour brew programming offers freshly brewed coffee, day or night. It also has a programmable auto shutoff (0 - 4 hours) for worry-free use. An audible beep advises when brewing is complete. The Brew Pause feature lets you pour a cup of coffee before brewing has finished, and a 1-4 cup setting allows you to brew only a cup or two without altering the flavor of the brew. The custom heat control allows you to adjust the heater plate to one of three settings to control the after-brewing temperature of your coffee. The 12-cup carafe features an ergonomic handle, dripless spout, and a knuckle guard to prevent burned knuckles. A charcoal water filter helps produce great tasting coffee by removing impurities. An indicator light signals when its time to clean your coffeemaker; simply add a vinegar and water solution and the coffeemaker cycles it through to remove calcium buildup. Includes a gold tone filter, #4 paper coffee filter starter kit, and a coffee grounds scoop.

Feedback after owning MANY Brewstations including this one now 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The electrical cord is 25 inches long to the very tip of the metal prongs. Otherwise 24.5 inches cord length including the plug part you hang onto. Leaving you 24 inches for the cord itself. Our previous Brewstations all had this same length of electrical cord. This model does not have a turntable on the bottom. The only time we needed turntables were on older Brewstations that had to have the water poured into the base from a certain side to avoid spilling or to aid in viewing the fill level markings. This model has ALL the previous fill markings and some new ones. Very handy for older eyes. The MAXIMUM coffee mug height is 7 inches if you hold the mug vertically. (If you hold your mug at a angle and use your finger to dispense against the mechansim you can fill anything.) 7 inches is plenty tall for all the standard travel/commute mugs holding 16 oz. The lid does dribble all over the place when you take the Brewstation apart for cleaning or making another pot. Just remember to lift the lid slowly and tap it with vibration as you open it. You will leave condensation water from the lid running down the back of the Brewstation about the volume of a 50 cent piece. The lid cannot be removed. You can wipe up the spilled water by simply running a sponge, papertowel, etc around the back. Remember, this is water and not coffee. If you position a papertowel at the hinge you prevent problems. The Brewstation does dispense/dribble down the back of your coffee mug once in awhile. The first time you notice this and before your next pot of coffee you clean the pot out and then fill with a few inches of clean water, lift the pot so you can see under it where the coffee dispenses and manually trigger the release mechanism to allow it to flush coffee grinds out. End of dribbling. There is a domed filter screen permanently attached at the point where the coffee leaves during dispensing. This lets small particles of coffee get by apparently get into the valve seat. Brewstations make GREAT coffee. House guests almost always end up buying their own. ALWAYS buy the latest model Brewstation with the highest numberic model number as you get the latest features that way and improvements and fixes. LOVE the Brewstation.

First Impression 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Just bought this a few days ago after reading and looking extensively. Used initially for only espresso and so far, so good. Next weekend it will get it's chance to show what it can do with french press. The fine setting yields consistently fine grounds. The reservoir for beans and ground coffee are both generous and hold enough to keep you 'jumpy' for quite a while. The smallest yield is 2 cups but that's too much for one espresso. It would be nice to yield just enough for one double espresso shot but that's a minor quibble. The machine does not vibrate or spray coffee grounds and you don't have to hold anything down while in operation. It's much quieter than the Krups blade grinder I've used for years and quieter than most others I've seen even much higher priced items. I also have the DeLonghi espresso machine so visually they make a nice pair.

Editorial Review:

For those who love the wonderful aroma and taste of freshly ground coffee, there's the DeLonghi coffee burr grinder. The burr grinding wheel produces a uniform ground texture for the most consistent results, and the grind selector lets you choose the perfect setting from coarse to fine. The quantity control knob allows you to grind up to 4-12 cups of coffee. Other highlights include dual safety system, on/off push button control and self-contained cord storage.

I prepare 'cappucino con leche' 2 times a day, 7 days a week... and have gone thru 2 of the
less expensive machines over the years to do it.. The 860 is actually all it is represented to be. Fast, easy, minimal clean-up...but most importantly, a fantastic cup of coffee. I was reluctant to spend the money but I am glad I did. My cousin has a $2,400 machine and I have caught him looking
at mine ......longingly. (LOL)Breville Barista Expresso Programmable Espresso Machine with Grinder BES860XL

Conserve Coffee 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

This 4 cup coffeemaker is great. I prefer it to the "basket" type because you only need 2 scoops of coffee for 2 cups; 3 scoops are needed for the basket type. I don't like the tiny power button.

Works pretty well and brews well, but is hard to take apart for cleaning. The shape of the coffee filter basket makes putting the paper cone in pretty difficult. In general; the construction is pretty cheep and I expect some part to fail every time I use it.

No automatic shutoff 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I was unsure by the product description if this 4-cup coffee maker included an automatic shut-off feature. Something in the notes led me to believe it had one, but once I received the product and reviewed the manual, I found that it does not. I returned it, so I can't comment on any of the other features.

Bad warranty service (useless warranty) 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have this coffeemaker less than three months. It makes good coffee.... I noticed that the glass carafe is crazed on the bottom (short cracks that don't go all of the way through). It still holds water.
I called the company, and was told that glass parts aren't covered by the warranty. It is obviously a manufacturer's defect. I won't buy anything from Toastmaster, or from any of their related companies. Obviously, they don't care about the consumer, and they don't stand behind their product.
