About the Brand
Technivorm was founded in 1964 by Gerard Smit, a Dutch engineer who built the company on a simple philosophy — life is too short to drink bad coffee. In 1968 he designed the first Moccamaster, and it has been hand-assembled at the Technivorm factory in the Netherlands ever since, with every brewer tested against strict internal standards before it leaves the floor. The range is certified by both the European Coffee Brewing Centre (ECBC) and the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) for meeting the Golden Cup Standard — the industry benchmark for a correctly extracted cup.
The Product
The KBG Select is Technivorm's most recognisable batch brewer — the square glass-jug tower that's become a design fixture in specialty coffee circles, now offered in a wider colour range than almost any coffee machine on the market. A selector switch lets you brew a full or half batch, so a smaller pot still gets the same extraction as a full one.
It's built for anyone who wants specialty-grade filter coffee without turning it into a daily ritual.
Key Features
Copper Heating Element (Golden Cup Temperature)
A thermostat-controlled copper element brings water to 92–96°C — the window in which coffee extracts properly, without tipping into sour or bitter territory.
9-Hole Pulse-Pour Shower Head (Even Extraction)
Water is distributed over the grounds in a bloom followed by measured pours, mimicking the way a barista would pour by hand.
Full or Half Batch Selector (No Adjustment Needed)
Switch to a half batch and the machine slows its flow rate to match, so a smaller pot gets the same contact time and extraction as a full one — no need to change your grind or ratios.
Dual-Setting Hot Plate (Keeps Coffee at Its Best)
Two heat settings hold your coffee without stewing or scorching it, and the plate switches off automatically after 40 minutes.
Drip-Stop Brew Basket (Pour Anytime)
Pull the jug out mid-brew and the valve holds back the drip, so you're never left with grounds across the counter.
Repairable Build (Made to Outlast Its Warranty)
A durable metal housing, BPA-free plastic components, and a high-grade glass carafe are all backed by spare parts stocked for every model Technivorm has ever made.
Who It's Built For
The KBG Select is built for anyone who wants specialty-grade filter coffee without the daily ritual of a manual pour-over — home coffee drinkers who want consistency cup after cup, small offices that need a proper pot without a barista on staff, and coffee lovers who've already got a grinder and fresh beans but want the brewing step automated without sacrificing quality. Brewing between 4 and 10 cups per batch, it's sized for a household or a small team rather than a full café.

Summary
The Moccamaster KBG Select takes the guesswork out of brewing a proper pot of filter coffee. It hits the correct temperature and extraction time on every brew, adapts cleanly between a full and half batch, and is built from materials designed to outlast almost every other machine in this category. If you want café-quality batch brew coffee at the push of a switch, backed by a company that's been doing this since 1964, this is about as close to a lifetime coffee machine as you'll find.
