Moccamaster KBG 741 Filter Coffee Machine UK Review 

 November 23, 2018

By  Enda McLarnon

There are filter coffee machines and then there are Moccamaster coffee machines. These are really unique looking and each machine is precisely engineered and hand made.

This model, like all the machines in the Moccamaster range is not cheap, but what you are buying is a very high quality, beautifully engineered machine, that is built to last you a lifetime.

This KBG741 model is one of the best in their range of coffee machines. As you will see later in this review, buyers love this machine. It gets an online buyer satisfaction rating of 96% which is an excellent rating.

The single biggest complaint about most filter coffee machines is that the hot plate, or keep warm plate just does not keep a pot of coffee hot enough. There are no such worries with this one as this plate operates at 80-85 degrees Celsius.

Above all these machines are built to last with each piece well made and extremely well put together.

Who Would Buy the Moccamaster KBGT 741?

The reality of life is that most people simply will not be able to afford to buy one of these Moccamaster machines. They are expensive and that will put many potential buyers off right away.

At the end of the day this is a drip filter coffee machine. You can buy a filter machine from around £50-75. Why on earth would you spend 3-4 times that amount to get this one?

We know from our research that there are a few problems when buying cheaper filter coffee machines. These include:

  • Typical lifetime of a filter machine is 2 years depending on use
  • The hot plates never keep the coffee hot enough
  • Many of the parts are plastic
  • Can be really difficult to find parts when they go faulty
  • Can be hard to get good customer service if something does go wrong
  • Most basic filter machines simply flood the grounds to make their coffee

When you buy one of these it will last a lifetime. Parts are always available. The hot plate is the best that we have ever seen. The customer service and support is excellent.

The heating element, housing and all parts are of extremely high quality. This model uses a 9 hole water outlet to brew your coffee at the perfect temperature.

Finally Moccamaster have this model available in a whole range of colours, so you can pick the colour that suits your decor the best.
