Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker in Polished Silver - 79312

The KBGT is ideal for those who typically brew a full carafe and are looking for the most straightforward process – add your coffee grounds and water, then flip the switch on. The brew basket automatically stops the flow of coffee when removing the carafe. The borosilicate glass lining of our stainless steel carafe retains heat and keeps your coffee hotter longer.

The Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker

FAST BREWING TIME. Simple to use with a quiet brew process, the KBGT 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.
