technivorm (moccamaster) moccamaster kbgv select

sca-certified dutch brewer with more style than substance

$369

the moccamaster KBGV Select is an SCA-certified drip brewer made by hand in the netherlands. it holds 1.25L, brews to golden cup standards, and keeps coffee at 175–185°F on a dedicated hotplate. the automatic drip-stop lets you pull the carafe mid-brew. at $369, it comes in a wide range of colors and has a distinct look, but independent testing found its brewing performance underwhelming for the price, with poor water distribution cited as a specific concern.
