Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Placement: Place the Moccamaster KBG Select on a stable, level surface.
- Water: Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water, using the water level indicator to measure.
- Filter and Coffee: Insert a paper filter into the filter basket and add the desired amount of ground coffee (use a medium grind).
- Brewing: Place the carafe on the hotplate, turn the machine on, and select the desired brewing setting (full or half pot).
Compatibility
The Moccamaster KBG Select is compatible with standard paper coffee filters. It uses ground coffee, so make sure you have the correct grind size (medium) for optimal brewing. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications (220-240V, 50-60 Hz).
Care
- Cleaning: Clean the carafe, filter basket, and lid after each use with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Descaling: Descale the machine every few months (or as needed) to remove mineral build-up. Follow the descaling instructions provided in the manual, using a descaling solution suitable for coffee makers. This ensures the machine's performance over time. Descaling frequency depends on water hardness in your area.
