MOCCAMASTER
SUITED FOR: FILTER
The Moccamaster is a premium automatic filter coffee machine, designed to brew consistently excellent coffee with minimal effort. Hand-built in the Netherlands, it’s known for its precise temperature control, fast brew times, and high-quality construction.
Ideal for home brewers and cafes alike, the Moccamaster takes the guesswork out of pour-over style coffee. It heats water to the optimal range for extraction (92–96°C), maintains an even flow rate, and completes a full brew in just 5–6 minutes. The result is clean, balanced coffee with great clarity, especially well suited to lighter roasts.
The same brewing principles apply to other high-quality batch brewers, like the Breville Precision Brewer. With the right ratio, grind size, and freshly roasted coffee, these machines offer a consistent and delicious filter brew without manual pouring.

STEPS
Insert Paper
Place the filter paper in the brew basket and run some hot water through and rinse. This will help stop the paper imparting flavour on your brew.
Grind
Weigh out 60g of ground coffee. A medium to coarse grind size is preferable for this brew method. Add coffee to the brew basket and shake lightly until the coffee bed is level.
Add Water
Add exactly 1 litre of fresh, filtered water to the Moccamaster reservoir. Start the brewer. (Make sure the brew basket is in the open position)
Stir during bloom phase (optional but recommended)
Once the first bit of water hits the grounds, you can slightly remove the carafe from the sensor at the bottom of the machine (not far enough that coffee drips on the ground! Wait about 30 seconds. You can give the coffee a a gentle, even stir to help saturate all the coffee with your brew water. We have found this help with a more even extraction.
Brew
The rest of the water will drip through automatically. Avoid lifting or adjusting the basket during the brew. The brew will take around 5–6 minutes total.
Serve and enjoy
Once the dripping slows to a stop, remove the basket and discard your filter paper and coffee. Swirl the carafe gently to mix before serving. This helps distribute all the flavours evenly.
