KBT

•Ankarsrum stand mixer (modern Kitchen-Aid is not BIFL 😔) •Thermomix if she cooks A LOT/often ($$$) •LeCrueset or Staub enameled cast iron (Lodge is solid AF for "regular" cast iron) •Technivorm Moccamaster (get one with a thermal carafe - no baked coffee or broken glass) •FELCO professional gardeni

That's great! It looks like you didn't get carafe lids, which I'd recommend: Brew through lid: https://us.moccamaster.com/collections/kbt-coffee-brewer-parts/products/brew-thru-lid-for-thermal-carafe Travel lid: https://us.moccamaster.com/collections/kbt-coffee-brewer-parts/products/travel-lid-therm

•Most of the consumer models will start with “K”.•If it has a “T” in the model, it’s a steel thermal carafe. If there is no “T” it is the glass carafe with warming plate.•If there is a “G” in the model, it has auto drip stop (pull out the carafe for a cup before it’s done brewing) If there is no “G”

Im a big fan of the stainless carafe vs. the glass pot. I didn't want the carafe at first, but Nordstrom sold a handful of KBT's for $195.00 one day a couple of years ago, and I had to do it. Its the best happy accident ive ever made. The benefit of the stainless carafe is twofold for me: you can ta

Hey, Just popping in to answer with what I know. I've got a similar machine, a KBT Its a silvered glass lined thermal flask. The glass prevents any off flavors from developing compared to a stainless steel vacuum flask. That's good! Glass is a very hard material that does not have any issues with le

I like the Moccamaster's simplicity and commitment to repairability. And I like that the KBT (and KBTS, which is the model I have) uses a thermal carafe instead of a burner. I bought it to replace a crappy super cheap drip machine. Yes, the coffee is better, even the same basic canister of pre-groun

I actually enjoy the process. I like being involved with the brew. Convenience isn’t the point for me — pleasure is. I own a Chemex, but pour-over has never once given me the result I’m after. It’s also never hot enough at the end. I love the thermal carafe on my KBT. If I wanted something I could s

UPDATE: The Zojirushi SH-HB15XA Vacuum Carafe, 1.5-Liter, Stainless Steel arrived today from Amazon and it fits the KBT! So this is definitely a nice alternative to the moccamaster carafe if you're looking to avoid the failure mode that the borosilicate glass has.

It's nothing fancy but I picked up a Moccamaster KBT for $125 on marketplace this week and it was nice spending 90 minutes on the patio this morning and having hot coffee the whole time. I've been using nothing but an Areopress for the last decade and the occasional cup of coffee through a phin filt

A couple things that I will keep forever. Our Duxiana bed. I wish I could describe it. It’s magical. Moccamaster by Technivorm. We’ve had the 12c thermal carafe model for 22 years. I am grateful for it every single day. My vintage Schwinn Cruiser.
