The manual-adjust stop on the KBT’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. Our double-walled, stainless steel thermal carafe will keep coffee hot for up to an hour – or even longer with the included Travel Lid.

GOLDEN CUP STANDARD: THE FOUR T’S What makes good coffee so good? It comes down to the coffee solubles extracted into your water. The coffee industry has defined scientific benchmarks for perfectly brewed coffee, called the Four T's. TEMPERATURE A consistent brewing temperature between 196°F - 205°F is essential for the extraction of coffee solubles. TIME A saturation time of 4-6 minutes releases the full flavor of the coffee without over- or under-extracting it. TURBULENCE Agitation of the coffee grounds generated as the water flows through the grounds creates even saturation. TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) This is the ratio of coffee solubles to water that the brewer extracts. The ECBC defines ideal TDS yield as between 18% - 22%, and the SCA refers to this as “the Golden Cup.” Moccamaster coffee brewers hit this mark every brew cycle.
