KBG Select UK Plug Filter Coffee Machine, Black

You don't need this, any more than you need an expensive wristwatch. All right, it makes perfect coffee every time, at precisely the right temperature, aromatic, rich, flavourful, deeply satisfying. It looks good; the one pictured that I have is in off-white. It is a pleasure to use every morning. I look forward to operating it in the early hours when I awake. Watching it do its job is fun. The solid construction — largely metal — delights. The percolation-type action is a visual treat. You will say that I am fetishising the Moccamaster. A cheap alternative can probably make coffee almost as well, you will say. Well, almost. Well, probably. Why pay more when you could buy a cheap one for a tenth the price or less? you ask. I reply that I've been penny-wise, dollar foolish like that my whole sorry life, so that I've been through about ten shoddily-made filter coffee makers, and have saved a few cents for my pains. I'm ahead by a few cents! So you could pass on the Moccamaster. On the other hand, if you saw it in action, if you woke up and drank the coffee as I have done, you might follow me in buying one. It's very obviously built to last. Even has a five-year warranty, I understand. There's so much landfill on Amazon, and landfill this decidedly is not. You could buy cheap junk, as I have done, fool that I am, countless times in Pavlovian fashion. Or you could go for robust quality like this, handmade by some enterprising, practical, reliable Dutchmen and Dutchwomen in their little factory in the Netherlands. (You can see them in action in various YouTube videos.) A business that had the bright idea of resisting the temptation to export jobs to China and instead concentrated on high standards. Result: success and popularity for them, coffee perfection for me.

After several filter machines over the years this is without doubt the best machine I’ve bought. Was reluctant to spend that much but you get what you pay for. Some parts are a little plasticy but the point is it brews great coffee. I got tired of cheaper machines making tepid Luke warm coffee. This machine makes actual HOT Coffee. No fancy functions timers or gadgets it just makes great coffee. So if your the type who likes to count the exact amount of coffee grains an tweak a lot of settings then it’s probably not for you. Simplicity is always the best design. It’s also worth investing in a burr coffee grinder. Fill it to number 4 with a medium grind an it gives you two decent size mugs of great coffee on the half pot function. It is hand made so worth the money in my view. I used the same beans and grind I normally do an was blown away by the taste a quality difference. Nice to be able to write a good review for a change.

We wanted a quality machine that was simple and quick to use without any features that may fail in the future. After reviewing many on offer we chose this because it just does what it says, makes great coffee simply, easy to clean, very little to go wrong, great value for money, would recommend to anyone who just wants a simple, quality machine that will last for years.

I wanted a Moccamaster for years. It's a m a z i n g! Filter coffee is the smoothest and healthiest coffee there is. This machine is hand built and tested in Holland, it's so good the style hasn't changed in decades. It's the king of filter coffee makers! My precious was the Melitta signature model but it was already so old it started affect the taste. It uses 1x4 filters you can buy most supermarkets. Very quick with option to brew smaller cup in slow mode and heated plate to keep coffee warm. However I prefer to drink mine as soon as it's brewed. Quality machine and worth every penny. Forget complicated espresso machines that takes ages to clean and maintain. Filter coffee is the way to go!

Function meets style in this coffee-maker. When our Old Faithful packed up, we picked this as we liked its style. HOWEVER, it makes coffee super-quick compared to our old drip coffee machine and is aesthetically far superior, making it look like we know what we are doing when it comes to picking things that are stylish as well as functional. The Dutch know how to design great products that do their job exceptionally well.

So excited to receive this as the company has a fantastic reputation building high quality brewers that can stand the test of time. Unfortunately mine appeared to not be able to stand the journey to the front door. After taking it out of the box and inspecting it the heat plate paint appeared to be flaking off in certain points (photos attached). This appears to be a fault in the manufacturing process and am unsure how it could have been missed, very disappointing. This review cannot speak for how the machine makes coffee as it has been boxed up and sent back before getting that far. I will be purchasing another once the refund for the first comes through ,with hopes that this was just a one off. I will update my review when the second arrives, but so far this has not been a good experience, especially for the money. *Update* I have reordered the moccamaster and used it everyday for about 2 weeks. The item I received did not have any defects like the last, everything was in perfect condition. It was easy to set up and feels solid. It makes very good coffee once you get the grind size right and hope it will continue to be a reliable part of my morning routine. The only reason it doesn’t quite get the 5 stars is due to the buying experience with the first item as detailed above. Other than that I am now very happy with my moccamaster.

Makes excellent coffee, and I immediately noticed the difference as between it and the old machine that it replaced.

This is an amazing easy to use . Quick and hot - adding in to my steel coffee cup means a long coffee . This was a refurbished Amazon came with original packaging- only a little mark on plate but a great price . Fits well in my kitchen

Gerne wieder

كل مادخلت موقع تقييمات او مقاطع فديو كلهم يمدحونها يقولون انها الذ قهوه ممكن تشربها بالبيت كل الي شروها يقولون كذا بس كييييف مافيها اي ميزة ولا حتى شاشه ولا شي معقد اليوم وصلتني وسويت قهوة والله انه الذ قهوه سويتها بالبيت مع انه كان عندي ٥ مكاين قهوه غير

There's a reason this machine isn't cheap. It has been handmade in the Netherlands since the late 60's and is built to last. As long as you follow the extremely straight forward guide and recommended ratio, you'll get a perfect coffee every time.

makes the best drip coffee/ batch brew !!

This is one of the most expensive coffee makers in the market. Unfortunately I didn’t find any value of money. Makes average coffee, made with awful cheap plastic. The price shouldn’t be more than $100AUD.
