Technivorm Moccamaster KB Coffee Maker

The Technivorm Moccamaster is a world-renowned drip coffee maker, widely regarded by enthusiasts as the 'gold standard' for home brewing. Hand-built in Amerongen, Netherlands, since its invention in 1968, the machine is celebrated for its precise temperature control and durable construction. The model shown in the image is the 'KB' (or similar variant), recognizable by its rectangular column (denoted by the 'K'), glass carafe, and manual-adjust drip-stop brew basket.

Technivorm was founded by industrial engineer Gerard Clement Smit in 1964. While the company initially produced shelving systems and step ladders, it revolutionized the coffee industry with its high-quality grinders and brewers. Today, the brand remains a family-owned business, maintaining its commitment to sustainability through a modular design that ensures every part is replaceable and repairable, rather than disposable.
