At Cape Coffee Beans, we like to sell the best coffee brewing equipment in every category. Value, functionality and reliability are all very important, and historically, it's been difficult to find filter coffee machines for home use that tick all those boxes. That's all changed now with the arrival of the Technivorm MoccaMaster range! Technivorm is a Dutch company that has hand made its iconic filter coffee machines in the Netherlands since 1969! They have a track record of excellence and have won numerous accolades and awards, including certification by the European Coffee Brewing Centre for the quality and consistency of their products. The MoccaMaster is their flagship filter coffee machine range. About the MoccaMaster filter coffee machine range The MoccaMaster is designed to be incredibly simple to use, and extremely consistent in its brewing. It has an energy-efficient copper heating element controlled by a precise thermostat that ensures that the coffee is brewed with water rapidly heated to 92-96ºC, the ideal temperature for extraction. It also uses a pulse-pouring system, allowing the coffee to bloom and then periodically adding just the right amount of water to keep the bed at the appropriate saturation and temperature. In short, it does what a barista might do when pouring by hand. To use the MoccaMaster, all you need to do is fill the water chamber to the indicated level, and add a filter and the appropriate amount of coffee to the brew basket. We recommend wetting the filter first, and using freshly ground, high quality coffee, but that's basically all you have to do. The MoccaMaster takes care of the rest, including shutting itself off. About the KBG Select MoccaMaster with glass jug The KBG range of MoccaMasters is probably the most recognisable with its brightly coloured square towers and more modern takes on the filter coffee glass jug. This version brews up to 1.25L at a time and keeps the coffee warm using a gentle, built-in hot plate, that has two heat settings. Having said that, the wonderful thing about the MoccaMaster is that you can brew whatever amount of coffee you like by just adjusting the amount of water, amount of coffee and the grind setting you use, so we'd recommend brewing fresh every time. You'd be surprised how quick it is! The new MoccaMaster KBG Select has two settings for brewing, a full batch and a half batch. The half batch setting adjusts the flow rate of water, allowing you to brew a smaller batch of coffee without adjusting your grind setting. This additional feature makes it an incredibly versatile coffee maker in a home or small office.
