A Note About Coffee & CupsLet us break it down for you: Although 8 ounces equals a cup in the baking world, a US cup of coffee is measured at 6 ounces and a European cup of coffee is measured at 4.25 ounces. This is why we sometimes list ounces to paint a more accurate picture of capacity. |
Tips and Tricks | The Technivorm KBT741 can "pre-infuse" by moving the brew pause lever up for around 30 seconds before brewing. |
