We received our new Technivorm this week. We have brewed about 10 pots of coffee so far.
Concencus?
WOW. I honestly had difficulty beliefing that a coffee maker could make such a difference. We have tried several different coffees with the same reults.
This machine is worth every penny we paid for it!

Thanks Poul,
A friend of mine, Jeff Heyerman, told me about your great customer service and speedy delivery. He was right. I can't wait to try this coffee maker.
Thanks,

Hello Transcend Coffee.
Thank you so much for just being you.
I am like many others who thought Star Bucks and Tim Horton were the best that Coffee had to offer. I have learned that like wine, coffee comes in many different complexities and flavors. I have been desperately trying to find good coffee to enjoy drinking. The beans in the local grocery store are not even close to being fresh. The already ground coffee lacks any body and is disappointing at best. All I can say is dull. While I was surfing the web the other day, I found you.
Your site is great, providing much information. You can tell that you guys love what you are doing. I have ordered beans from you twice now and you will have me as a customer for life. Your product is high quality and a reasonable price to match. The smell of the roasted beans is absolutely heaven. I have not disliked any of the coffee beans I have tried from you, but have found a few favorites. I am even now grinding extra coffee in the morning to be able to brew a decent pot of coffee at work. Usually only get one cup myself, because the smell from the brewing coffee attracts many "Smells great, can I try a cup".
Living up in Northern Alberta, it is nice to be able to order such quality and have it delivered to my door a few days later. The next step is to order one of the coffee makers that you sell. Could it be possible for the coffee to taste even better? I am dying to try. I also hope one day to stop by Transcend to have one of your dedicated staff make me a beautiful cup of coffee. Can't get a good espresso around here. Thank you again and keep up the great work. All this typing has made me thirsty, time to grind some Apanas and have a cup or two.
Have a great day and wish you much success.

Every now and then you just plain get lucky.
While cruising the net the other day I came upon an article on the Technivorm Mochamaster, more or less describing it as "THE" drip coffee maker. After a bit more searching and review reading (thank you CoffeeGeek) it become pretty obvious that the writer of the original article wasn't some shill paid off by Technivorm, he was actually on to something.
Then came the pleasant news (and next bit of luck) that Transcend Coffee right here in Edmonton was the Canadian source for the Mochamaster. As I'm an espresso lover but daily drip coffee drinker I'm sure you can understand my wish and search for a drip coffee maker that would give me the full taste of the bean without the addition of a bunch of unwanted flavours or the subtraction of a bunch of flavours that I really enjoy.
After a purchase of a Technivorm KBT 741 I've finally found what I've been looking for. It's a great thing to get what you pay for and that is exactly what I've got with the Technivorm. It may be a bit more expensive then other drip coffee makers but what comes with the extra outlay of cash (and the addition of a Swissgold filter) is a great looking machine that makes the best drip coffee that I've ever had.
So thanks Poul to you folks at Transcend for not only carrying the Technivorm but for running an outstanding coffee experience.
And no surprise, you guys really do make the best Latte in Edmonton !!!

Hi Poul,
My Moccamaster arrived just now, and I just wanted to send you a quick note of appreciation - for the quick service, and for the bag of coffee that you included with the box -Thank you! How did you know that African coffee blends are my absolute favourite? That is excellent! Can't wait to go home and set up my machine and try it. In fact, I might have to treat my co-workers to a cuppa... :)
Kind regards,
Lisbeth

I am so glad that I am now able to order online. After Dave Feltham, my son, introduced us to your coffee while we were visiting Edmonton, we have had trouble purchasing something even remotely as good as yours here. hurray!!!!!

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know I have received my "vurm" and have just ordered another as a christmas gift. When I unpacked my coffee maker approx. 2 months ago, I didn't fold up the box for recycling, but left it in the basement. So, I found the package of your coffee last week ( after 2 months ) and brewed it. It was 'luscious. Hence, why I have just ordered 3 (expensive with shipping !) pounds of it. Just thought you should know. thanks. Lori

You STILL roast beans the way they SHOULD be roasted,,,The correct way..Kudos to you all.No Flavour of the month way of roasting!!, (i.e too high a temp/too long a roast time..) I have found Nirvana, and it is right here in my own country.... RJL

I wanted to drop you a line and say "thanks" for the great coffee (and brewer too!).
For Father's Day, my wife picked up a pound of Smith Farms Kona Peaberry from Transcend.
She tells me that when she went to get it there was none roasted and you all suggested that it would be ready by the Saturday before Father's Day. My wife replied that she could not come in on Saturday because I would be with her all day (the coffee was a surprise). So you fellows went the "extra mile" and produced a pound for her as quickly as possible.
I'm brewing the Kona with my Technivorm (also purchased from Transcend) and it is amazing coffee. It is a "soft" coffee with low acidity and wonderful fruit elements. I would recommend to anyone who likes a coffee that has lots of flavor across the pallet and does not overpower the taster with a "punch".
Thanks again for the great coffee.
Regards,
Gary Sears

Just a little note about Thursaday night - first of all we had a great time! I personally found it to be very interesting and a lot of fun. I thought the profile cupping was cool. The side by side coffee maker comparison was a real eye opener (I was at my friends house tonight and put on several brews with the Techno. I thought they came up great, and I'm tempted to see if Thea will agree to owning one).
You managed to get a lot of hands on content across in a relatively short time frame, which was always important when we were running short programs down under - well done. We used to collect a few coffee 'factoids' and would ask our audience questions, and/or make a game out of it for a small prize/signature drink at the end. It would keep the audience engaged and kept conversation going.
I liked the use of the visual aids, ie. difference in green coffee, smelling and looking at the roast as it progressed. Using these aids in a structured way can really contribute to the educational side, as well as keep the audience entertained. Maybe you could have something up on the computer to assist your presentation ie. pictures of harvesting, different processing methods, regions etc...
I think you could easily sell another evening based on espresso. While some wanted to see the espresso side, we had enough on our plate with the program as it was. It really needs its own evening as I'm sure you would agree.
Overall, I think your devotion to the industry came across in a positive/classy manner, and Andrew adds a friendly humour that seemed well received.
Thanks again - we can't wait until the next one!
Cheers,
Chad

Hi Poul, Just a note to let you know I already received my Technivorm Moccamaster CD today (Jan 30).That was fast! The coffee it makes is flavourful and delicious. I'm looking forward to many years of service from this machine. Thank you for the great service and prompt delivery. It was great talking to you on the phone. Good luck and continued success in your business. I wish you great success! I'm happy to contribute to the success of a Canadian business.
Sincerly yours, Jim Sutton
