Each Moccamaster is handmade and built to last in the Technivorm factory in the Netherlands since 1968. Replacement parts are available for all models with proper care and maintenance, this should be the last coffee brewer you ever need to buy! The secret behind a perfect cup of coffee is the temperature at which the coffee is prepared. Moccamaster's copper heating element is unique and ensures an optimal brewing temperature between 92°C and 96°C. Why is this temperature optimal? If coffee is made too cold, it tastes sour. If coffee is brewed too hot it tastes bitter. Moccamaster finds the perfect balance and prepares coffee at the right temperature, so you drink the tastiest cup of coffee. The manual-adjust stop on the KBTS’s brew basket allows you to control the brewing speed or stop it entirely as it flows into the carafe. This smaller-capacity brewer is a good option for those who like to be more hands-on with their coffee brewing process and don’t consistently brew a full carafe every day. Our double-walled, stainless steel thermal carafe will keep coffee hot for up to an hour – or even longer with the included Travel Lid. Features: Fast Brewing Time: Simple to use with a quiet brew process, the KBGV Select makes a half or full carafe of coffee in 4-6 minutes. Consistent Temperature: The copper boiling element rapidly heats water to a brewing temperature of 196°F - 205°F and automatically shuts off when the water reservoir is empty Precise Engineering: The boiling action moves the water up the glass tube, where it flows into the outlet arm and pulses over the brew basket, blooming the coffee grounds in a manual pour-over coffee style. Optimized Coffee Extraction: The cone-shaped brew basket steeps the coffee grounds, extracting the coffee's full flavor and maximizing its complexity, taste, and aroma. Thermal Carafe: The stainless steel carafe maintains coffee quality, integrity, and taste for up to an hour. Every thermal carafe comes with a Brew-Thru Lid and Travel Lid.
