Hey everyone - I'm in Calgary, Alberta... and am interested in purchasing the
Newco OCS-8 or close second being the
Technivorm KBT 741.
Bad news though... I contacted '
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.', and she has replied:
\"Thanks for the inquiry, but we are no longer carrying the OCS models. I am sorry for any problems that this might cause.\"
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Now where am I gonna get it?!?
Anyone have any more Canadian sources for this machine, or even a \"Canadian friendly\" US based online store?
And I wonder if these 'supply' problems indicate that Newco is going to stop making the OCS line? Because if that's the case, I think I'd rather go with the Technivorm after all...

Wow! This is important news. I should check in with Susan and see what is what.
Maybe I should buy a new one while I can get one.

Oughtred Coffee

Unlikely - Susan at Newco (just reading her e-mail) says they are not carrying them anymore -- and they are the importer.
Trust me - I am pressing her with more pointed questions.

I really like the reviews for the Technivorm KB741, but I have since noticed that they have come out with a new model that looks almost identical (except for a rounded tower). The new unit is called the Thermal Moccamaster CD...
Does anyone know anything about this and whether it will be the same quality as teh KB741? I really want to have the best quality, but somewhat prefer the looks of the new Moccamaster...

It looks like the same thing.
I had coffee with Mark Poul yesterday of Transcend Coffee - they sell lots of the Clubline Technivorm coffee brewers and he has a chance to meet up with some of the engineers of Clubline - Holland.
I passed along my concern that the brewers have one big flaw - they brew into an open carafe - which seems like a big compromise - The NewCo OCS series of brewers brew the coffee through an ingenious carafe cap that protects the brewed coffee from the open air.
The Technivorms brew the coffee across a gap that is at least an inch of open air into an empty carafe.
Room for improvement I think.
