Production date
How to find the production date:
Look at the bottom of the machine, on the label
- On older machines, for:
prod. 0300
This means MMYY or expanded 03.2000, i.e. March 2000.
- On newer machines, look for:
Serial No: 1503 XXXXX Serial No: 1503XXXXX
This means YYMM, or expanded 2015.03, i.e. March 2015.
You can also look at the bottom of the water reservoir for a plastic injection moulding mark/dial.
Model numbers
What the letters mean:
| H | Rectangular body column, single-setting hotplate (Europe only) |
| K | Rectangular body column, dual-setting hotplate (2-5 cups use 3/4 circle (80C/175F) / 6-10 cups use full circle (85C/185F) to activate both heating elements)
|
| B | Filter holder platform |
| CD | Cylindrical body column, dual-setting hotplate (2-5 cups use 3/4 circle / 6-10 cups use full circle to activate both heating elements) |
| G | Automatic drip-stop when removing carafe (platform has a mechanical lever that opens/closes the brew basket when the carafe is moved)
|
| Non-G | Manual adjust drip-stop on basket (closed / 2-5 cups use half-open for limited flow thru rate / 6-10 cups use fully-open for normal flow thru rate)
|
| V | Volume / flow control, paired with corresponding hotplate temperature level (2-6 cups use half-carafe for longer brew time and temperature stability / 7-10 cups use full-carafe for normal brew time and temperature)
|
| T | Thermo steel carafe
|
| Non-T | Glass carafe |
| S | Smaller, 8-cups, manual adjust drip-stop, single setting hotplate, auto-off |
| C | Descaling light indicator, lights up when the termostat trips (C is used on newer models, older models has it defined in the type, ex. 741.81) |
| AO | Automatically turn off system / hotplate after 40(EU)-100 min |

- Model names with an "S" at the end, i.e. "AUTOMATIC S", means indicator for descaling
- There are no "T" / thermo models with AO/AUTOFF since there is no hotplate and the float switch will turn off the system entirely
- The optimal Moccamaster would be a KBGV with replaced brew basket and platform from the KB, so you get both volume control and extraction control
