Auto drip-stop brew-basket with glass carafe.
Brew-volume selector switch for brewing half or full carafes
Fast brewing time: Simple to use with a quiet brew process, the KBGV Select makes a half or full carafe of coffee in 4-6 minutes.
Consistent temperature: The copper boiling element rapidly heats water to a brewing temperature of 196°F - 205°F and automatically shuts off when the water reservoir is empty.
The pre-immersion drip-style system ensures the perfect coffee bloom, produced by an ultra-precise, natural pulse action.
Made with durable metal housings and BPA/BPS/BPF and phthalate-free plastics.
All Moccamaster coffee brewers are handmade at the Technivorm factory in the Netherlands. We build our coffee brewers to last. Replacement parts are available for all models, and our on-site service technicians will repair any Moccamaster for the life of the brewer. With proper care and maintenance, this should be the last coffee brewer you ever need to buy.
Precise engineering: The boiling action moves the water up the glass tube, where it flows into the outlet arm and pulses over the brew basket, blooming the coffee grounds in a manual pour-over style.
Optimized coffee extraction: The cone-shaped brew basket steeps the coffee grounds, extracting the coffee's full flavor and maximizing its complexity, taste, and aroma.
Independent hotplate: The selector switch adjusts the hotplate temperature within the range of 175°F - 185°F depending on how much you brew. The brewer's power switch and hotplate automatically shut off after 100 minutes.
Body style: Rectangular
Certifications: ECBC certified and SCA approved to meet and exceed the golden cup standard.
Volts: 120 V
The selector switch on the KBGV Select allows you to choose between brewing a half or full carafe. The brewing speed and hotplate temperature adjust according to your choice, brewing either amount to the golden cup standard. The brew basket automatically stops the flow of coffee when removing the carafe. All glass carafe brewers feature a hotplate with an independent heating element that holds your coffee at the perfect temperature.

If you can't taste the difference between different coffees or brewing methods this isn't for you.
If you're looking to step up the home setup and you want a buy-it-for-life level brewer and you can appreciate coffee, this is a machine to consider. It may be the best machine of its kind

The Mocca Master is an incredible appliance. I like that is is hand built in the Netherlands.
My only complaint is that I have to stir the grounds upon the first 15 seconds of brewing as the drip arm will not sufficiently cover the entire brew basket. Another option is to leave the pot off the plate and only run about 15 seconds of water to allow the coffee to bloom.
The issue then is that if I am not careful setting the pot back under the basket, coffee will spill out from the lid and into the hot plate.
If I do not do this then there will dry grounds at the end of a full pot brew. It is mildly annoying but a worthy trade off for some of the best drip coffee I have ever had. My french press has been unused since I got my Mocca Master.
A good "grind and brew" coffee from a gas station costs around 2-4$.
A nice Oxo or other brand coffee mug costs ~20$
Since brewing all my own coffee in the morning I know that the MM has payed for itself in 6 months.
Not only is this thing an incredible retro piece that is handmade in a non chinese factory but it also produces great tasting coffee.
I use Bun filters rather than their own brand.
There are brew baskets that have selectable drip valves.

While I am still using 1 of the 2 I have (and enjoy it)...I wouldn't buy another.
Note* I have the thermal carafe versions...not this exact one...but they have the same materials in the parts mentioned.
Manually brewing filter coffee with an adjustable temp kettle and a pourover/Aeropress/immersion brewer is not difficult, much easier to clean, and actually lets you brew coffees at their ideal temperatures.
I have a Moccamaster and a pour over setup like you describe and nearly always use the Moccamaster. Convenience wins here for me.
I've had mine for 7 years now and we've used it everyday without issue.
I also avoid French press style coffee makers that don't use paper filters. The unfiltered oil from coffee beans is known to contribute to cholesterol levels.
