“Quick Shot Review of the
Technivorm Moccamaster CD”
by Mark Prince11/14/04

“There's a lot to like: The Technivorm MoccaMaster CD looks good. It delivers almost perfect water temperatures to the filter basket. I had the unique Mixer Lid design that self-stirs the coffee as it is brewed. It is by far the quietest coffee maker I've ever tested. It brews the 10-cup pot in what I consider a near-perfect time. It's easy to clean up, and as mentioned above, it's built rock solid.”

“Bean Counters The Last Drop…”
by David Hochman 3/12/06

“Less fussy but equally impressive is the retro-looking Technivorm Moccamaster KB741, a sober drip-brewer from Holland ($185, from www.boydscoffee.com) that's certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America. It's clean, quiet and a rarity among drip machines for maintaining the optimal 200-degree brewing temperature. It's Mr. Coffee's worst nightmare.”

“13 Gadgets We Love”
by Jay Palmer 12/4/06

“…(the) KBT-741 Coffeemaker works at the right temperature and deposits the coffee straight into a thermal carafe, thus also avoiding the burnt flavor that comes from java sitting in a glass container on a hot plate. What we had considered an acceptable cup before was suddenly second-class.”
