Know before you buy
The manual drip-stop allows you to pause the flow of coffee from the brew basket while the machine is still running. This lets you pour a quick cup mid-cycle without coffee dripping onto the hot plate.
The Moccamaster KB uses standard #4 paper filters. Using high-quality paper filters is recommended to ensure a clean, sediment-free cup of coffee.
The glass carafe sits on a hot plate designed to maintain an ideal serving temperature. For the best flavor, it is recommended to consume the coffee shortly after brewing, as the hot plate will eventually begin to cook the coffee if left on for extended periods.
No, the brewing temperature is fixed. Technivorm engineers the machine to automatically maintain an optimal brewing temperature between 196°F and 205°F, which is the industry standard for proper coffee extraction.
The machine has a 40-ounce capacity, which allows you to brew a full carafe of approximately 10 cups in about six minutes.
The aluminum housing is very durable and easy to maintain. You can simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth to keep it looking new; avoid using abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish.
