The Technivorm is one of the only brewers to pass the SCAA's standards for brewing. This model gets water to the optimal temperature of 200 degrees. A powerful heating element gets up to temperature in seconds and the brewer has an optimal brew cycle of approximately 7 minutes, producing a 4-6 minute saturation time for coffee grounds. These brewers are produced in the Netherlands and only found through a few sources in the United States. The Technivorm brews directly into a thermal carafe, which allows the coffee to stay hot. This also keeps it off a heating element, thereby preventing that "burned" taste.

A complimentary pound of Intelligentsia House Blend and a box of #4 paper filters are included with this purchase to get you started off right.

Perfect Brewing Notes:
If you would like us to grind your coffee for this brewer, we recommend you choose grind level #7. It's a bit coarser than #5, the paper cone filter, and will better withstand the high water temperature that this brewer produces. Also note that the manufacturer's water level markings on the side of the water holding tank do not indicate the recommended 6oz. cup size. Please use your own measuring cup to correctly measure the proper grounds to water ratio (2 level tablespoons ground coffee to 6oz. of cold, filtered water). For further experimentation, try gently stirring the grounds at about 30 seconds into the brew cycle with a blunt object so as not to tear the filter. One or two swirls will do the trick. This will help mate the grounds with the water resulting in a tastier cup!
