The manual-adjust stop on the KBs brew basket allows you to control the brewing speed or stop it entirely as it flows into the carafe. This brewer is a good option for those who like to be more hands-on with their coffee brewing process and dont consistently brew a full carafe every day. All glass carafe brewers feature a hotplate with an independent heating element that holds your coffee at the perfect temperature.
*Please note: Technivorm is upgrading their lids to a new plastic type. You may see a matte or glossy lid on your machine water tank and drip basket as they transition.
More Info
Fast Brewing Time. Simple to use with a quiet brew process, the KB makes a full carafe of coffee in 4-6 minutes.
Consistent Temperature. The copper boiling element rapidly heats water to a brewing temperature of 196F – 205F and automatically shuts off when the water reservoir is empty.
Precise Engineering. The boiling action moves the water up the glass tube, where it flows into the outlet arm and pulses over the brew basket, blooming the coffee grounds in a manual pour-over coffee style.
Optimized Coffee Extraction. The cone-shaped brew basket steeps the coffee grounds, extracting the coffee’s full flavor and maximizing its complexity, taste, and aroma.
Independent Hot Plate. The hi-lo hotplate switch allows you to control your holding temperature within the range of 175F – 185F. The brewers power switch and hotplate automatically shut off after 100 minutes.
What makes good coffee so good? It comes down to the coffee solubles extracted into your water. The coffee industry has defined scientific benchmarks for perfectly brewed coffee, called the Four T’s.
Temperature. A consistent brewing temperature between 196F – 205F is essential for the extraction of coffee solubles.
Time. A saturation time of 4 – 6 minutes releases the full flavor of the coffee without over- or under-extracting it.
Turbulence. Agitation of the coffee grounds generated as the water flows through the grounds creates even saturation.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). This is the ratio of coffee solubles to water that the brewer extracts. The ECBC defines ideal TDS yield as between 18% – 22%, and the SCA refers to this as the Golden Cup. Moccamaster coffee brewers hit this mark every brew cycle.
