FAQs

How often should I descale my Moccamaster KBGT?

It is recommended to descale your Moccamaster every 1 to 3 months, depending on the hardness of your water. Regular descaling prevents mineral buildup and ensures optimal performance and coffee taste.

What type of coffee filters does the KBGT use?

The Moccamaster KBGT uses standard 1.25L (or 10-cup) basket-style paper coffee filters.

How long does the coffee stay hot in the thermal jug?

The thermal jug can keep coffee hot at approximately 80°C for up to 3 hours after brewing. It will still be warm at around 50°C after 8 hours.

Is the Moccamaster KBGT energy efficient?

The machine features an auto switch-off function after 40 minutes, which conserves energy. Its efficient copper heating element also heats water quickly.

What is the warranty period for the Moccamaster KBGT?

The Moccamaster KBGT comes with a 5-year warranty, reflecting its durable construction and the brand's commitment to quality.

Can I leave the coffee maker on indefinitely?

No, the machine has an automatic shut-off feature that turns it off after 40 minutes for safety and energy efficiency. It is not designed to be left on continuously.

How do I clean the thermal jug?

After each use, empty the jug, rinse it with warm water, and wash with mild dish soap and warm water. Dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the inner lining.

Troubleshooting

Coffee is not brewing

Ensure the power cord is plugged in, the water reservoir is filled, and the thermal jug is correctly seated on the drip tray. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position.

Coffee tastes weak or flavorless

Verify the correct coffee-to-water ratio. Ensure you are using fresh coffee grounds and that the brewing temperature is optimal (92-96°C).

Machine is leaking water

Check that the brew basket and thermal jug are properly positioned. Ensure the water reservoir is not overfilled. Inspect the machine for any visible cracks or damage.

Coffee is not staying hot in the thermal jug

Ensure the thermal jug lid is securely fastened. Pre-warm the jug with hot water before brewing if needed. The jug is designed to keep coffee hot for up to 3 hours.

Slow brewing or reduced water flow

The machine may require descaling. Follow the recommended descaling procedure to remove mineral buildup.
