Technivorm Thermo KB 741
Technivorm Thermo KB 741

I only brew 15 ounces of coffee each morning. Will the Technivorm do a good job with this small amount of coffee? Is there an adjustment for smaller amounts? I grind with your Rancilio doserless grinder which is wonderful!

mjackson ♦ William,
It will work and here is some advice from another use For morning use, making "2 cups", I use 30g. of freshly ground home roast ground between medium and fine setting on my Infinity to just a hair over "4 cups" of water on the marking lines on the water chamber. This is equal to 30g. of coffee to 500g. of water. I always weight my water when using the CCD, but I performed a quick and dirty calibration of the markings on the TV and arrived at this compromise. If you do this, please note that there is some residual water that remains in the system, so make a "wet run" to charge the plumbing before doing a similar calibration on your own machine.

With the "4 cup" water level in the chamber, I do find it necessary to allow the filter to fill, stir when it reaches about 3/4" of the top and then allow the basket to drain on the first opening position. So you may want to try different methods perhaps as some have suggested of stirring the grounds when it is about to brew with the water in the filter.

Delonghi EDG200T Piccolo Plus Dolce Gusto

I thought I read tht there were milk capsules as well as latte or cappucino capsules and that using BOTH produced a nice beverage. Was I reading ab out the Piccolo or a different model? Is there an easy place to see a full list (order form) or capsule options?

Is the coffee reservoir insulated? How long will it keep coffee hot versus a thermally insulated carafe?

mjackson ♦ It will hold the coffee warm for about 4 hours. It is a very good machine as far as the new way it holds the brewed coffee. It will hold coffee warm about the same time amount as a thermal carafe.

After my latest cheap coffee maker died less than two months after purchase, I decided to invest in a more expensive and hopefully better one. I bought the Cuisinart model #DCC-1200 from a local store, who highly recommended this model as reliable and hard-working. “Almost everybody who works...
