The Moccamaster KBG Select Pink is a filter coffee maker for anyone who wants to stick with classic coffee quality while deliberately standing out with the design. Despite its striking color, the workflow is pleasantly straightforward and simple. You fill it with water and coffee, select the appropriate carafe volume, and start the brewing process. Pink turns the machine into a statement piece without changing anything about the proven Moccamaster technology.
The water is delivered over the coffee bed at 92 to 96 °C. A full 1.25-liter carafe is brewed in approximately six minutes. The Select switch also allows you to brew half a carafe and deliberately slows the flow rate for this amount. This flexibility is especially practical for households of varying sizes or different times of day compared with a machine designed only for full carafes.
The hot plate keeps the coffee at approximately 80 to 85 °C after brewing. It switches off automatically after 40 minutes. This means the KBG Select is designed for freshly consumed filter coffee and avoids actively keeping it warm for hours. If you want to transport a carafe for a long time or keep it warm without electricity, you should look at the KBGT with its thermal carafe instead.
Behind the striking color is a product concept designed for long-term use, with manufacturing in the Netherlands. Spare parts are available, and the machine is fundamentally repairable, setting it apart from many shorter-lived household appliances. The KBG Select is therefore aimed at buyers looking for simple operation and durable technology. Pink is the right version if this sensible solution should still look anything but boring.
