Key Features:

• Optimal Brewing Performance
  The Moccamaster KBG Select brews up to 10 cups (1.25 litres) of coffee in just 6 minutes. Its copper boiling element ensures precise temperature control between 90°C and 96°C, the ideal range for coffee extraction, resulting in a rich and flavourful brew. The Select switch allows you to adjust between brewing a half or full pot, ensuring optimal flavour even with smaller quantities.
• Handmade Quality
  Crafted in the Netherlands, the Moccamaster machines are handmade to the highest standards. With a robust aluminium housing, this coffee maker is designed for durability. Its BPA-free plastic components ensure no harmful chemicals interfere with your coffee. Each machine is tested individually before leaving the factory, assuring quality and reliability.
• Hotplate with Auto Shut-off
  The machine is equipped with a hotplate to keep your coffee at the perfect serving temperature. It automatically adjusts depending on whether you're brewing a half or full pot, and it switches off after 40 minutes for energy efficiency and safety.
• SCA & ECBC Certified
  The KBG Select has been certified by both the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and the European Coffee Brewing Centre (ECBC), ensuring that it meets the highest standards for coffee brewing. These certifications are based on its ability to produce the perfect balance of coffee flavour compounds extracted into water, often referred to as the "Golden Cup Standard."

Design & Colour Options:

The Moccamaster KBG Select is not only functional but also stylish. It’s available in a wide range of 21 colours, including the vibrant Turquoise (featured in this offer). Its sleek, minimalist design fits beautifully into both modern and traditional kitchen settings.

Build Quality & Durability:

The machine’s body is made from anodised aluminium, which is not only lightweight but also resistant to corrosion and scratches. The coffee maker weighs 3.84 kg and measures 17 cm (D) x 32 cm (W) x 36 cm (H), making it compact enough to fit on most kitchen counters without taking up excessive space. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking for both a compact and premium coffee machine.

Ease of Use & Cleaning:

Operating the Moccamaster KBG Select is straightforward. The auto drip-stop filter basket means you can remove the carafe during brewing without causing spills. Both the carafe and filter basket are dishwasher safe, making cleanup easy. The machine will, however, require regular descaling to maintain optimal performance, particularly in areas with hard water.

Comparison to Competitors:

While many filter coffee machines are available at lower prices, such as the Morphy Richards 162501 Equip (which offers a 1.2L capacity for £27.00), they typically lack the advanced features and precision brewing capabilities of the Moccamaster. The KBG Select’s copper heating element, temperature precision, and build quality make it a superior choice for those serious about their coffee. Additionally, the 5-year warranty far exceeds what is offered by most competitors.

Delivery & Warranty:

• Free delivery is available for all UK orders, with faster options such as next-day delivery depending on your location.
• The product includes a 5-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind with long-term usage. Additionally, Moccamaster offers excellent customer service and support for any issues you may encounter.

Pros:

• Certified by SCA and ECBC for superior coffee quality
• Handmade in the Netherlands, ensuring attention to detail and quality
• Brews a full 10-cup carafe in just 6 minutes
• Hotplate with automatic shut-off for temperature control
• Comes in 21 colours to suit any kitchen
• 5-year warranty for long-term reliability

Cons:

• Premium pricing compared to basic coffee machines
• Requires descaling to maintain performance
• Some users may find the glass carafe doesn’t retain heat as long as thermal options

For those who take their coffee seriously and want a reliable, aesthetically pleasing machine that consistently brews a perfect cup, the Moccamaster KBG Select is an exceptional choice.
