I tested the Moccamaster KGBV Select in 2026 — and, yes, it’s still my favorite coffee maker

The Technivorm Moccamaster KGBV Select is widely regarded as the best coffee maker for a reason. This iconic drip brewer has remained mostly unchanged since the 1960s — why fix something that ain’t broke?

With a rapid-heating copper boiler and removable (read: cleanable) shower arm, filter basket, and carafe, the Technivorm Moccamaster is the machine to beat. You can brew an entire 10-cup carafe in around 6 ½ minutes and a half-batch in 4. Not only is this industrial coffee maker quick, but it’s also delicious. The optimal brewing time (and temperature) brings out the coffee’s rich and intense aromas without making it bitter.
