Know before you buy
The Moccamaster KBGT is designed for efficiency, brewing a full 42-ounce carafe in approximately six minutes.
No, this model uses a thermal carafe rather than a hot plate. The stainless steel thermal carafe is designed to maintain your coffee's temperature without the risk of burning it, which can happen with traditional glass carafes on heating elements.
You have the flexibility to use either standard paper basket filters or a gold-tone permanent filter, depending on your preference for body and clarity in your cup.
The water reservoir is not removable, but it is designed with a clear, visible level indicator and is easily accessible from the top of the machine for convenient filling.
To ensure longevity and optimal performance, we recommend regular descaling using a product like Urnex Cleancaf. Because of its durable copper heating element and high-quality construction, simple routine cleaning will keep the machine functioning for years.
Yes, the KBGT features adjustable aroma and flow control, allowing you to tweak the brewing process to suit your preferred coffee strength.
