Overview
If your coffee keeps you company all morning, this is the Moccamaster for you. Instead of a glass carafe sitting on a hot plate, the KBGT brews straight into a double-walled stainless steel thermal carafe. No hot plate means your coffee isn't slowly "cooked", so the second cup tastes much closer to the first.
The same simple joy. Like the glass-carafe KBGV Select, it's a no-fuss machine: one switch, a full 40 oz (1.25 L) pot, and a drip-stop brew basket. Technivorm backs it with a 5-year warranty.
Pick by your rhythm. Drink your pot within the hour? The glass KBGV Select lets you watch the level and has a half-carafe switch. Linger over it, or take it to the garden? The thermal KBGT is the cosier companion. Compare them in Moccamaster KBGV vs KBGT.
Warm-up trick: fill the carafe with hot tap water while the brewer heats, then empty it just before brewing. A warm carafe keeps coffee hot noticeably longer.
