The Dutch-built Technivorm Moccamaster Thermal KBT741 is one of the few auto-drip coffee makers officially certified by the Specialty Coffee Association of America for brewing at the optimal temperature (200 degrees Fahrenheit) for coffee. Although its 8-cup thermal carafe is smaller than those of other machines, reviewers say it keeps coffee hot without scorching. They also like that it stops brewing if the carafe is not properly placed. Owners say brewed coffee tastes superb, and they appreciate the user-friendly water reservoir and fast brewing time (five to six minutes). The Moccamaster KBT741 does not have a programmable timer, however, and owners agree it's not very stylish.
While it doesn't get the same raves, a less expensive thermal-carafe coffee maker is the Capresso MT500 Coffee Maker (*Est. $180) .
