KBT

Technivorm Moccamaster, the absolute gold standard for coffee machines and it does go on sale at Amazon regularly; you’ll pay for it but it makes drip coffee that tastes like pour over in a consistent basis and it is very easy and quick. You also want to make sure you are grinding the beans fresh in

There are all sorts of techniques out there (stir, pause and let bloom, get a new showerhead, etc. etc.) but I’d suggest forget all of that. The Moccamaster became popular and well liked brewing just as is, following Technivorm’s instructions. As for the divots in your grounds I get that every now a

The Moccamaster is one of the simplest brewers out there. My mother uses pre-ground supermarket coffee in her KBGT and she enjoys it. We grind our own for our KBT. The whole point of weighing the beans is to get repeatable results. You can certainly use scoops but your coffee may vary slightly from

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

Based on your requirements, a Moccamaster seems like the best fit. Specifically the Optio or the KBGV Select. If you make a lot of coffee at once, consider getting the thermal carafe version as that is far better at maintaining both heat and flavour. The glass version “cooks” the coffee on the hotpl

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

I have a Fellow Ode Gen 2 and a Moccamaster KBT, it’s an excellent combo. As far as a scale, I’ve always used a simple kitchen scale and it gets close enough for me. I don’t recommend the upgraded burrs, those are mostly to attempt to get the Ode down to espresso levels, which you don’t need. James

It fits on the top of the standard moccomaster basket and spreads the water out from the original 9 hole want making for more even saturation. Huge improvement! https://coffeepilot.ca/products/shower-head-insert-for-technivorm-moccamaster

Moccamaster says that the KBT will brew a full carafe of coffee in 4-6 minutes and that has been my experience. I don't stir - I tried it when I first got the machine but it eventually seemed too fussy and unreliable to me. I tend to get better results when I just let it do its thing.
