Product Information
Full details
The Moccamaster KBG Select is designed for coffee enthusiasts who prioritize precision, consistency, and build quality in their home brewing setup. Its primary benefit is the ability to brew cafe-quality coffee at the ideal temperature range of 92°C to 96°C, ensuring optimal flavor extraction. However, users should note that the machine requires manual management of paper filters and coffee grounds for every brew, making it less convenient than automated pod-based systems.

FAQs
What filter size does the KBG Select use?
It uses standard size 4 paper filters, which are widely available.
How long does the warming plate stay on?
The warming plate stays on for 40 minutes before automatically shutting off for safety.
Can I brew less than 6 cups?
While the select switch is optimized for 6 or 10 cups, you can brew smaller amounts, though you should adjust the coffee-to-water ratio accordingly.
Where are these machines manufactured?
Every Moccamaster is handmade in the Netherlands.
Does this machine include a timer?
No, the KBG Select is designed for manual operation to ensure the highest quality extraction and reliability.
How often should I descale the machine?
It is recommended to descale after every 100 brewing cycles to prevent mineral buildup in the copper element.
Troubleshooting
Coffee is not hot enough
Ensure the warming plate is switched on and the carafe is placed correctly. Pre-heating the carafe with hot water before brewing can also help maintain temperature.
Water overflows from the brew basket
Check that the filter paper is correctly positioned and not folded over. Ensure you are using the correct grind size; grounds that are too fine can cause clogging.
Machine stops mid-brew
Check the power connection and verify that the brew basket is seated properly, as the automatic drip stop can interfere with flow if not positioned correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: place the machine on a level surface, flush the system with a full carafe of clean water before your first use, and ensure the brew basket is properly aligned. The machine is fully compatible with standard size 4 paper filters. For ongoing care, the glass carafe, lid, and filter basket should be hand-washed with mild soap after each use. To maintain the internal components, it is recommended to descale the machine every 100 brews—or more frequently if you live in a hard water area—using a descaler safe for copper elements.
