Moccamaster KBG Select – the full pot or the half, always full of flavor
In the morning, the whole pot for the family; in the afternoon, just a few cups for yourself: the Moccamaster KBG Select in the Swiss Version adapts to both with a single turn. Six minutes for a full pot, a warm aroma in the kitchen – and a flavor that stays just as round whether you brew a full or a half pot.
Here too, the core lies in the copper heating element that keeps the brew temperature between 92 and 96 °C – the window where coffee turns neither sharp nor harsh, but balanced and aromatic. The Select dial is the special part: in half-pot mode, the machine delays the flow time so the water has enough contact with the coffee and even small amounts unfold their full flavor. The warming plate then keeps the pot at 80–85 °C. How strong and how fine you brew is up to you – what counts is that it tastes good to you. This is our view, one of many.

Who the KBG Select Is For
For anyone who regularly brews filter coffee at home or with a team in varying amounts – sometimes a full pot, sometimes just a few cups, without the flavor suffering. If you mostly want just a single cup, you're better served by the Moccamaster Cup One. Fresh beans are available in the Coffee Beans, matching accessories in the Filter Equipment. Our advisory tool can help.
