Tested by Wirecutter
Consistently praised
- Well-rounded, nuanced, high-quality coffee rated highest by tasters in every round
- Fast: brewed a full pot in just seven minutes
- Five-year warranty (longest tested) plus reputation for durability
- Simple one-switch operation with optional manual bloom/drip-stop control
Commonly flagged
- Bare-bones: no clock, descaling reminder, or brew-complete beep/light
- Flimsy plastic base under the carafe falls off when the machine is moved
- Narrow carafe mouth needs a bottle brush to clean; pricier than the OXO top pick
Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted source qualified, so no cross-source comparison was possible. Within Wirecutter's own testing the KBT's thermal carafe kept coffee very hot (a close second to the OXO), while its glass-carafe sibling KB held heat even longer via a hot plate.

Full-pot brew time (both KBT and KB): seven minutes
This reliable workhorse turns out a nuanced, flavorful pot and comes with a much longer warranty than our other picks.
Both models turned out a full pot of coffee in just seven minutes.
But the plastic base that sits under the KBT carafe is flimsy and falls off whenever the machine is moved
