Know before you buy
The selector switch on the front allows you to choose between a half-carafe (4-6 cups) or a full-carafe (8-10 cups). When set to half-carafe, the machine slows the water flow to ensure proper extraction, maintaining the Golden Cup Standard regardless of the volume.
Yes, the KBGV Select features an independent heating element that keeps your coffee at an optimal temperature between 175°F and 185°F. For safety, the hotplate automatically shuts off after 100 minutes.
The Moccamaster is designed for a quiet brewing process. While you will hear the water heating and moving through the system, it operates much more quietly than most standard drip coffee makers.
The copper boiler is a hallmark of Technivorm machines because it is highly efficient at heating water rapidly and maintaining a precise, stable temperature between 196°F and 205°F throughout the entire brew cycle.
Yes, the brew basket features an automatic drip-stop mechanism. When you pull the carafe away, the basket stops the flow of coffee, allowing you to pour a cup without making a mess on the hotplate.
To ensure longevity and consistent flavor, you should descale the machine every 100 cycles or whenever you notice mineral buildup. The removable parts, such as the brew basket and carafe, are easy to clean with warm, soapy water.
