What customers say
The Moccamaster KBG Select earns high praise as the benchmark for automatic filter coffee. The core satisfaction stems from the exceptional quality and consistency of the brew, achieved through maintaining optimal brewing temperatures via its copper heating element. Users value this machine as a durable, long-term investment, frequently noting the robust metal housing and repairable design. While the initial cost is premium, the superior taste, quick brewing time, and expected longevity fully justify the expense for dedicated coffee drinkers. Minor points about feature simplicity or carafe handling are overshadowed by the consistently perfect final product.
Know before you buy
No, the KBG Select does not feature a built-in grinder. You will need to use pre-ground coffee or a separate burr grinder to prepare your beans before brewing.
The KBG Select is designed for efficiency, brewing a full 10-cup batch in approximately 6 minutes. This speed helps ensure the coffee is extracted properly without over-steeping.
The machine is factory-calibrated to maintain a precise brewing temperature between 92 and 96 degrees Celsius, which is the industry standard for optimal flavor extraction. There is no manual temperature control, as the machine is designed to hit this ideal range automatically.
The 'Select' switch allows you to choose between brewing a full carafe or a half-carafe. It adjusts the flow rate of the water to ensure that even smaller batches maintain the same quality and saturation as a full pot.
The KBG Select features a hot plate that keeps the glass carafe warm after the brewing cycle is complete. For the best flavor, we recommend enjoying your coffee shortly after it finishes brewing to avoid any bitterness from prolonged heating.
The 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and mechanical issues under normal domestic use. It reflects Technivorm's commitment to durability and the long-term repairability of their machines.
