Do you have a KBG Select? ☕ If so, your coffee is brewed in a glass jug placed on a smart hot plate. This keeps your coffee warm at the right temperature for 40 minutes and automatically adjusts to the amount of coffee in the jug. This prevents the coffee from burning when there’s only a little left. This means the ‘extra hot’ button on older Moccamaster models – which some of you may still remember – is no longer needed!
The hot plate starts out as a large roll of steel. At the factory, the steel is cut to size and stamped into the correct shape, with hundreds of hot plates produced every hour! The individual pins are then welded onto them, a process that literally sends sparks flying. ✨
After a thorough inspection, the hotplates temporarily leave the factory to receive their black coating. This is the only step in the process that we don’t carry out ourselves. As soon as they’re back in Amerongen, they move on to the assembly line, where they’re fitted into your Moccamaster.
And so, even the smallest component involves a whole production process! 🛠️
