The hot plate stays at a steady temperature for over an hour-and-a-half. That makes it easy to grab a couple cups of coffee throughout the morning without worrying about it going cold.

If you're one to get up earlier than the rest of the household, the Moccamaster KBGV Select is one of the quietest coffee machines we've ever experienced so you won't risk waking anyone with unpleasant whirring and grinding sounds. (They'll likely wake up to the pleasant smell of fresh coffee instead.) What We Didn't Like KBTS: This model shares the same manual-adjust stop technology as the KBT, but as the “S” implies, this brewer is smaller. 1L / 32 oz capacity. So now that you have some information about the glass carafe vs. thermal steel, what’s it going to be? Once you’ve decided, these are the models you now have available to you: All three glass carafe models feature our uniquely engineered hotplate. The hotplate’s heating element is separate from the brewer’s boiling element. It is designed to roll heat into the coffee, maintaining a perfect holding temperature within the range of 175°F - 185°F and ensuring an even taste from the first cup to the last drop. The hotplate automatically shuts off after 100 minutes.

It is notable that the water tank is not removable, like many of the more convenience-focused coffee makers, which means filling the tank requires a little more work. Technivorm recommends washing the plastic brew basket and glass carafe with warm, soapy water and descaling the machine due to calcium buildup is recommended every three months, or after 100 cycles. Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select: Performance So the KBGV model described above has a rectangular body column (KB), automatic drip stop (G) and volume control (V). The absence of a T means it has a glass carafe rather than thermal steel, and the absence of an H means it has two hotplate temperature settings (which you’d only find in Europe anyway). In short, the automatic drip stop is less complicated but less flexible. The manual drip stop demands a little more of you, but can reward you with great-tasting coffee at any volume.

The Moccamaster KBGT has been certificatied by a speciality coffee governing body AKA the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA). If you choose glass, your machine comes with a hotplate and your carafe must be on it for the coffee to stay warm. The hotplate and boiler are powered by separate elements, so the hotplate can keep the coffee at the ideal serving temperature of 176-185 F rather than the 196-205 F required for brewing. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality MOCCAMASTER KBGT 79328 Filter Coffee Machine, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. KB: The manual-adjust stop on the KB’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. 1.25L / 40 oz capacity.

As much as the thermal flask does its job retaining heat when sealed, an air pot insulated thermal flask can retain heat as as well pour coffee. Take note Moccamaster.

A Moccamaster should be the last brewer you’ll ever buy,” Smit once said. The company of about 200 employees has been guided by those words ever since. You can also go with the even cheaper Braun Brew Sense Drip Coffee Maker, which allows for single-cup brewing and has a programmable 24-hour timer.

One thing to consider is the capacity. The European-made Moccamaster KBGV Select has a 40-oz max capacity, compared to the 50-oz capacity of Ninja's coffee machines. We usually had a little less coffee in our cups with the Moccamaster than we were used to with the Ninja (which in the long run may be better for our health).All of our thermal carafes are double-walled, stainless steel, and come with a Brew-Thru Lid, which allows coffee to be brewed and poured directly through the lid, minimizing heat loss. Thermal carafes maintain your coffee’s quality, integrity, and taste for up to an hour – even longer with the included Travel Lid. Of course, the glass carafe is more breakable than steel. Technivorm’s glass is known to be particularly strong, but it can’t match the durability of steel.
