Know before you buy
The borosilicate glass-lined thermal carafe is designed to maintain your coffee at an ideal serving temperature for several hours. Because it uses vacuum insulation rather than a heating plate, it preserves the flavor profile without 'cooking' the coffee.
To ensure consistent brewing temperatures and performance, you should descale the machine every 100 cycles or whenever you notice slower brewing times. Regular cleaning of the brew basket and carafe with mild detergent is also recommended.
Yes, the KBGT20 features an automatic drip-stop mechanism. This allows you to pull the carafe away mid-brew to pour a cup without making a mess on your countertop.
This model is designed for use with standard basket-style paper filters. Using high-quality paper filters helps ensure a clean, sediment-free cup of coffee.
The Moccamaster is engineered to maintain a precise brewing temperature between 196°F and 205°F. This specific range is critical for optimal extraction, ensuring your coffee is neither sour from under-extraction nor bitter from over-extraction.
It is designed for simplicity with a single-switch control. Once you add water and coffee grounds, you simply flip the switch, and the machine handles the rest of the brewing process automatically.
