Expert review by : Brian Bennett (cnet.com)
$300 is a lot to splurge on a drip coffee machine, but the Techivorm Moccamaster KBT 741 makes a brew worth every drop.
The Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741 brews excellent, sometimes outstanding pots of drip coffee 10 cups at a time. It also has a lovely, elegant design and keeps coffee hot for a full 6 hours.
The Moccamaster KBT 741 is very expensive and takes up a large amount of counter space.
The Moccamaster KBT 741 proves Technivorm's reputation for building exceptional drip coffee makers is well deserved.

I've owned the Technivorm for several years now, and it always brews a great pot (carafe) of coffee.
Brews great coffee every time
Price
Consumer review (cnet.com)
This may be the only consumer product that I have ever owned that has consistently exceeded my expectations over and over again for a period of years, with nearly zero maintenance. I received my Technivorm as a wedding gift... otherwise there is no way...
Brews perfect coffee, keeps hot for hours, amazing build quality
Plastic parts cheapen the feel of an otherwise flawless device
Consumer review (cnet.com)
It's really not that great, maybe I have a lemon…
Nice simple design with cool Lava Lamp-like bubbles
Poor carafe/ filter/ base design

The best coffee I've ever had from a drop coffee maker
Very tall, barely sits underneath my cabinets in the kitchen
