Kaweco "Sport" rollerball macchiato
The Kaweco Sport gel roller in macchiato is a compact ink roller housed in the characteristic octagonal design of the Sport line – a design dating back to the 1930s. The warm beige-brown of the barrel recalls a macchiato coffee and feels as a smooth, slightly cool plastic surface in the hand. Closed, the roller measures 10.5 cm – small enough for a trouser pocket, and with the cap posted at the end it reaches a writing length of 13.5 cm.
Features
- Octagonal barrel in 1930s style: The eight flat sides prevent the pen from rolling across the desk and provide a secure, steady grip without rubber coating.
- Compact design (10.5 cm closed): Fits into any trouser pocket, notebook case or small pen pouch – the pen is always at hand without taking up much space.
- Postable to 13.5 cm: The cap can be posted on the rear end and extends the pen to a balanced writing length that feels pleasant in the hand even during longer writing sessions.
- Gel refill in black (included): Gel roller refill with rich, flowing black ink – suitable for crisp lines on smooth paper. The gel refill is not archival.
- Made in Germany.
Use & Tips
- The gel refill flows particularly evenly on calendered, smooth paper – ideal for dense writing in small notebooks or tabular entries in planners.
- The gel refill produces wider lines on highly absorbent paper – those who prefer fine, defined strokes should opt for smooth, ink-resistant paper.
- The pen can be fitted with compatible Kaweco Sport gel refills in other colours – the refill socket conforms to the Sport standard.
- The macchiato colour (also called cappuccino) appears warm beige with a subtle yellow tone in daylight – a calm, neutral shade that pairs well with natural-coloured notebooks or leather accessories.
