Never has coffee tasted so good as with a Moccamaster filter coffee machine. It is not without reason that Moccamaster has been internationally awarded as the best coffee machine by experts from the European Coffee Brewing Center and the Specialty Coffee Association. The KBG Select is the perfect coffee machine for brewing 4 to 10 cups of coffee. If you brew less coffee, we recommend the Moccamaster Cup-one. The secret behind a perfect cup of coffee is the temperature at which the coffee is prepared. Moccamaster's copper heating element is unique and ensures an optimal brewing temperature between 92°C and 96°C. If coffee is made too cold, it tastes sour. If coffee is brewed too hot it tastes bitter. Moccamaster finds the perfect balance. The KBG Select has been ECBC approved for both 10 and 6 cups of filter coffee. Thanks to the new Select switch you will always have great tasting coffee. You can choose to switch on the ‘half a jug’ button which allows for a slower brewing time and gives you that full-flavoured coffee, even with just a few cups. This makes the Moccamaster KBG Select the perfect coffee machine to enjoy full jugs of coffee as well as just a few cups.
