Know before you buy
The KBG Select is engineered to maintain a precise brewing temperature between 92 and 96 degrees Celsius, which is the industry standard for optimal flavor extraction. Its robust build quality and consistent performance set it apart from mass-market machines that often fail to reach or hold these temperatures.
A full 10-cup carafe takes approximately 6 minutes to brew. This speed is intentional, allowing the water to interact with the grounds for the perfect amount of time to extract full flavor without bitterness.
Yes, the KBG Select is designed with safety and energy efficiency in mind. It features an automatic shut-off function that turns the heating element off after 40 minutes.
Maintenance is straightforward. The removable parts, such as the filter basket and carafe, are easy to wash, and the machine should be descaled periodically depending on your local water hardness to ensure it continues to perform at its best.
The 'Select' switch on the front of the machine allows you to choose between brewing a full carafe or a half carafe. This adjusts the flow rate of the water to ensure that even smaller batches are brewed with the same precision and flavor profile as a full pot.
The Moccamaster KBG Select uses standard size 4 paper filters. Using high-quality paper filters helps ensure a clean, sediment-free cup of coffee.
