Choose coffee for a filter machine

Filter brewing rewards a medium, even grind and a roast that remains clear over a larger cup. Machines with a grinder need whole beans; other brewers accept correctly ground filter coffee.

The decision that matters

Match the grind to basket shape and batch size, then adjust from taste and drawdown.

Coffee that suits this machine · Moccamaster KBG Select Black

Recommendation for this modelMoccamaster KBG Select Black53987

Required formatWhole beans ground just before brewing, or coffee explicitly ground for filter
Useful roast profileLight-medium to medium, adjusted to the flavour you want
Grind or preparationBegin with a medium filter grind and the supplied basket. Go slightly coarser if drawdown is too slow.
Do not useEspresso-fine coffee and a grind so coarse that water passes without extracting.
✓
Why it suits this machine

This brewer has no grinder and relies on water flowing evenly through a filter bed. Grind size matters more than the coffee brand.

Before choosing your coffee

Is espresso-ground coffee suitable for a filter machine?

Usually no. It can slow the flow sharply and over-extract the cup. Start with a medium filter grind.
