Is is correct to assume that this model differs from the 741 AO in that the plate underneath the carafe is not heated like the glass one in the 741?

In fact, the plate under the carafe was disappeared soon after we started using the machine.. The regular counter top is just fine, no need for that annoying piece of plastic...

My model sits on a plastic removable unheated plate. The thermal carafe keeps the coffee warm for several hours

My 741.03/A does not have a heated plate underneath. I don't know what the 741 AO has. My model has a metal carafe.

Yes, you are correct. The plate is only a plastic sheet intended to protect the counter top from any accidental damage from the carafe. The best way to use the carafe is to pre-heat it using hot tap water before brewing the coffee. When the brewed coffee drips into the carafe, it does not cool it much (if any) since the carafe is already hot. The coffee will stay hot for a long time. I don't know how long because I generally make myself two cups in the morning and it never has time to cool off before I finish the second cup. The glass carafe with the hot plate will definitely keep the coffee warm longer but I have noticed thru the years that the hot plate seems to impart a "burnt" taste to the coffee if you let it stay on the heated plate very long. I like the double wall stainless steel carafe better as I don't think it affects the taste at all. I have a friend who swears he can taste a metal note when he uses a stainless steel carafe but I can't.

There is no plate under the carafe. The carafe is double wall stainless steel.

No. Only the glass carafe model includes the warming plate. I've not found it necessary; I've been using mine for 6 months and the coffee still is hot for about 6hrs afterwards, and will still be warm after 18-24hrs.

This isn't exactly on point but I can confirm that the old non-thermal grind n brew carafe does fit. Not sure if that helps but just in case.

Yes, the carafe is larger than the one on our older 12 cup version although it seems the same height. It is straighter on the side walls and a bit wider. It definitely makes more coffee.

Unfortunately, I don't, and I broke the carafe that came with the pot, & looked for a replacement & it was difficult to find & I think when I did locate one, the carafe was more expensive than buying an entire new coffee maker, so... that's what I did.. I don't know why they make a different carafe for each model, and the height, etc. needs to be perfect or the coffee won't go into the pot, etc. :( It's frustrating!

The newer model has a totally stainless carafe. The earlier model is a glass thermos interior.

The machine's specification is 100W. If you mean the heating base beneath the glass carafe, neither the machine nor the manual provide this information. I switch off the machine and transfer the freshly brewed coffee to a thermal carafe almost immediately so the heating element does not produce negative results.

I think I replaced one with a generic "Mr. Coffee" 12 oz carafe. Honestly, it's been about 6 or 7 yrs since I bought it and I no longer have it so I can't be 100% sure.

I don't know, but Technivorm has a pretty extensive website showing all their models. We have the Technivorm "club line", stainless with the glass carafe and were are thoroughly pleased. We've had it about a year now. Makes excellent coffee.

We have no problem with the carafe. The liner in the carafe never moved. I truly have only positive comments

The problem is not the carafe, but the coffee maker. There's no hot plate and it doesn't brew hot enough for the thermos-type carafe. I donated my new one and purchased a regular Cuisinart with a glass carafe and hot plate. I couldn't ask for a better product. Excellent hot coffee set to automatic brew.

Alynne,I'm Not Sure Which Model Of Cuisnart The Carafe Actually Works With Because I Don't Remember the Model I Had BUT I Do Know It Was An Exact Replacement For The One I Had.I'm Sorry I Can't Be More Help....I Just Know I Enjoy Mine!

Looked at schematic for 171 glass coffee carafe appear similar t my x1500 but not sure

I can only say it seems to almost the same as a Bodum 12 cup carafe, but slightly thinner. this was not a problem because the handle apparatus allows you to tighten it (with the screws) tightly.

I don't have this particular model of coffee maker, but all the replacement carafes shown are glass.

Yes, it is. I looked at the plate under the coffeemaker where the label & serial number are located; it shows the model number as the KBGT 741.

The thermal carafe does have a glass lining, but that aside, it's not the carafe that makes better coffee, it's the temperature of the machine that heats the water, the way the beans are ground and the quality of beans that you have. All that said, I prefer the carafe, because it doesn't continue to cook the coffee once it's brewed, resulting in the strong burnt/bitter taste that a regular carafe drip maker would.
