Overview
The Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select is the latest evolution of what many consider the greatest drip coffee brewer ever manufactured. Hand-assembled in Amerongen, Netherlands, by a company that has been building coffee machines since 1964, the Moccamaster achieves SCA Gold Cup certification through a deceptively simple design built around a copper heating element that reaches optimal brew temperature in under six minutes. The unique copper boiling element heats water to precisely 196-205 degrees Fahrenheit and maintains this range throughout the brew cycle without any digital controls or PID systems — pure physics and engineering excellence. The half-open brew basket design allows coffee to begin dripping into the carafe during the brew process, preventing over-extraction and producing a remarkably clean, balanced cup. A manual brew volume selector switch (full or half carafe) adjusts flow rate for smaller batches. The glass carafe sits on a hot plate with an independent heating element, and a separate switch allows you to turn it off for those who prefer thermal-only warming. Available in over 25 colors — from classic silver and black to vibrant pink, green, and orange — the Moccamaster is recognizable and iconic. Each machine carries a 5-year warranty and is built to last decades. The KBGV Select is not flashy or complex — it is simply the best at what it does.
It features a none boiler system made of copper. The none pump delivers consistent pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Cone Filter group head.
Priced at $310, the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select is designed for home baristas looking for quality without breaking the bank.
In terms of build quality, the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select is a substantial machine, weighing in at 2.7 kg, manufactured in Netherlands, drawing 1420W of power. With dimensions of 324 x 171 x 357 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 1250 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
