Kaweco "Sport" ballpoint macchiato

The Kaweco Sport ballpoint pen in Macchiato is a compact pocket companion in retro design from the 1930s: octagonal cap, round barrel, warm cappuccino-colored surface made of high-quality plastic. With a length of 13 cm, it fits comfortably in any shirt or trouser pocket and lies safely and reassuringly in the hand thanks to the classic Sport geometry. The housing is manufactured in Germany.

Special Features

• Macchiato / Cappuccino tone: A warm, slightly tinted beige with a distinct brown note – an earthy appearance that works just as well with notepads in natural, kraft or ivory as it does with black accessories.
• Iconic Sport form: The octagonal cap is the defining characteristic of the Kaweco Sport family since 1935. Closed, the pen measures 10.5 cm – with the cap attached, it reaches the comfortable writing length of 13 cm.
• Refillable with D1 refill: The short D1 ballpoint refill (standard industrial size) is the heart of the pen. Kaweco offers it in black and blue in several line widths; compatible D1 refills from other manufacturers also work.
• Lightweight plastic housing: The plastic body keeps the weight to a minimum – ideal for extended writing on the go, without hand fatigue.
• Made in Germany: Kaweco manufactures the Sport ballpoint pen in Germany.

Application & Tips

• Everyday Carry: 10.5 cm closed – the pen disappears into any bag without getting in the way. With the cap attached, it reaches 13 cm for a full writing length and relaxed hand position.
• Refill selection according to writing style: For precise everyday notes, a 0.8 mm D1 refill is recommended; those who write broad and fluid or sketch should choose the 1.0 mm or 1.4 mm line width.
• Combination within the Sport family: The Macchiato color tone is available across the Kaweco series – fountain pens, mechanical pencils and rollerballs can be color-coordinated.
• On the go and in the office: The D1 refill writes cleanly and evenly on smooth, calendered paper without smudging – well suited for calendars, planners and notepads with low absorbent surfaces.
• Not document-proof: Oil-based ballpoint pen inks are generally not document-proof and only partially water-resistant. For archival-safe notes, a fountain pen with pigmented ink is better suited.

For Kaweco Enthusiasts

The Sport ballpoint pen uses the standardized D1 refill format, which Kaweco offers in three line widths (0.8 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.4 mm) in black and blue. The format is widely used across the industry, so special versions – such as quick-drying or oil-based versions from other manufacturers in D1 format – can be used without any complications. The characteristic heart-curve mechanism of some Sport variants works precisely and silently; the classic Sport ballpoint pen relies on the proven screw cap without a push mechanism, which keeps the number of components to a minimum and increases robustness.
