KBG Select or KBGT, which one should I choose?

If you're looking for a new Moccamaster, you might be wondering which model best suits your needs. The KBG Select with glass jug, or the KBGT with thermal jug. Both have their own advantages, depending on how and where you prefer to drink your coffee. In this blog, we will help you make the right choice.

Let's start by briefly explaining the two models.

KBG Select: The perfect coffee at any amount

The KBG Select is the glass jug model and is ideal for coffee drinkers who enjoy fresh coffee at home and don't always brew a full jug of koffie. This is because you have a selector switch, which adjusts the brewing time to the amount of coffee you brew. The machine slows down the brewing time with the half-jug function, to let the water mix with the coffee for just as long as when you brew a full jug. You can use the half jug function for up to 6 cups of coffee. Are you going to make more than 6 cups? Then switch to the full jug function.

The coffee is then kept warm in the glass jug on the hot plate, which is specially designed to keep the coffee at the ideal temperature of 80-85°C. After 40 minutes, the hot plate switches off automatically, which prevents your coffee from staying hot for too long and therefore becoming bitter. This makes the glass jug model perfect for people who want to enjoy several cups in a short time, for example during a coffee break with family or friends.

KBG Select benefits:

• Choice between a full, or half-full jug
• Keeps coffee hot for up to 40 minutes on the smart hot plate
• Ideal for home use
• Coffee can always be poured over into the separately available thermal jug
• Available in a wide range of colours so you can choose what suits your style.

KBGT: A full jug that can go anywhere

For coffee drinkers who want to make a full jug of coffee but don't drink it all at once, or are often on the move or out and about, the KBGT with thermal jug is an excellent choice. This thermal jug will keep your coffee hot for hours, without relying on a hot plate. So you can easily take your coffee with you. The coffee goes straight into stainless steel thermal with glass inner bottle, keeping the coffee at a temperature of 80°C for three hours, and still drinkable at 50°C even after eight hours. This makes the thermal ideal for the office, outdoor activities, or when you want to take coffee with you without losing flavour.

KBGT benefits:

• Keeps coffee at 80°C for up to three hours without a hot plate
• Ideal for offices, workspaces or small catering establishments
• Perfect on the go or for workplaces without access to a power source.
