help Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV Select FAQ
What does SCA certification mean for the Moccamaster KBGV Select?
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Certified Home Brewer program requires machines to meet strict technical standards, including maintaining water temperature between 92 and 96 degrees Celsius during brewing and achieving specific extraction and strength measurements. The Moccamaster has held this certification consistently, which is a primary reason it is recommended by specialty coffee shops.
What is the difference between the Moccamaster KBGV Select and the KBT model?
The KBGV Select uses a glass carafe with an independent hot plate and features a selector switch for half-carafe versus full-carafe brewing, which adjusts the flow rate. The KBT uses a thermal stainless steel carafe with no hot plate, and other models like the Cup-One brew single servings rather than a full pot.
How long does the Moccamaster take to brew a full pot?
The Moccamaster brews a full 10-cup carafe (approximately 1.25 liters) in about 4 to 6 minutes. The copper heating element brings water to temperature quickly and maintains it throughout the brew cycle, which is a key factor in achieving the extraction quality that earned its SCA certification.
Where is the Technivorm Moccamaster manufactured?
The Moccamaster is hand-assembled and individually tested at Technivorm's facility in the Netherlands, where the company has been building coffee makers since the 1960s. Technivorm offers a five-year warranty on the machine, and replacement parts are available for repair rather than replacement.
