Moccamaster KBT Coffee Maker in Polished Silver - 79112
The manual-adjust stop on the KBT’s 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 don’t consistently brew a full carafe every day. The borosilicate glass lining of our stainless steel carafe retains heat and keeps your coffee hotter longer.
The Moccamaster KBT Coffee Maker
FAST BREWING TIME. Simple to use with a quiet brew process, the KBT makes a full carafe of coffee in 4-6 minutes.
CONSISTENT TEMPERATURE. The copper boiling element rapidly heats water to a brewing temperature of 196°F - 205°F 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 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.
THERMAL CARAFE. The stainless steel carafe maintains coffee quality, integrity, and taste for up to an hour. Every thermal carafe comes with a Brew-Thru Lid and Travel Lid.
