Check price on AmazonHow does the Moccamaster KBG 741 hold up?
- Copper boiler (thermal conductivity 25x higher than stainless, 7x higher than aluminum) heats to 92-96°C in under 6 minutes with no thermostat hunting or temperature overshoot
- Hand-assembled in Amerongen, Netherlands with 5-year warranty and replacement parts available for 10+ years
- SCA Gold Cup certified
- 1250ml capacity in under 6 minutes makes it the fastest large-batch brewer at quality level
- No bloom cycle (pre-infusion)
- $380 for a machine with one switch and no programmable features is a hard sell against the $200 OXO Brew and $330 Breville Precision Brewer, both of which include more functionality
