help Moccamaster KBG Select FAQ

Where are Moccamaster coffee makers manufactured?

Every Moccamaster coffee maker is hand-assembled and individually tested in the Netherlands by the Technivorm company. They are built with high-quality materials to ensure a long lifespan and offer excellent repairability.

What makes the Moccamaster KBG Select certified by the SCA?

The machine holds a Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) certification because it brews coffee at the precise optimal temperature of 196 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit. It also features a unique nine-hole spray arm that evenly saturates the coffee grounds for ideal extraction.

What is the difference between the Moccamaster KBG Select and the older KBG model?

The 'Select' version introduces a switch that allows users to choose between a fast brewing speed for half-volume carafes and a slower, pulse-brewing speed for full carafes. This adjustability optimizes the steeping time regardless of how much coffee you are making.

What type of carafe comes with the Moccamaster KBG Select?

The KBG Select comes standard with a durable glass carafe housed on an independent warming plate. To keep the coffee hot without burning it, the carafe features an insulated lid that maintains the brew temperature effectively for up to an hour.
