KBTS

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

The KBGV is 1” taller and 1.25” longer and has a 40oz glass carafe versus the 32oz stainless steel carafe.

(My husband wakes up an hour before me, so I appreciate the ability to keep the coffee hot.) I'm a fan of t

I have the shorter version, the KBTS, and I kinda wish the carafe stayed warmer too. Conveniently, you bought the KBT version, which does not have the weird auto stop lever, and it also doesn't have the hot plate. This means that you can buy any carafe you want that fits under the Brewer, and use th
