Directions For Use
Get started with your Moccamaster coffee brewer by following the steps below. For instructions on your specific model, please refer to the brewer guides on the opposite page. We recommend running two brew cycles of plain water before brewing your first pot of coffee.
- Set the power switch to off.
- Firmly attach the outlet arm to the silicone gasket at the top of the cool water reservoir; the fit should feel snug. Caution: The outlet arm is HOT while brewing.
- Fill the cool water reservoir to the desired level with fresh, cool water. Place lid on the cool water reservoir.
- Place the paper filter in the brew basket. Refer to your specific brewer’s guide for the correct filter type. Caution: Do not remove lid while brewing; scalding may occur.
- Add ground coffee. Refer to the chart below for the recommended formula.
- Place brew basket on the bracket; position the outlet arm over the center of the brew basket. Place lid on brew basket. For manual-adjust brew basket models, adjust the slide to the open position.
- Place the carafe into position. For Cup-One, ensure mug is pressed against studs or nested in the mug tray.
- Plug into the grounded outlet. Set the power switch to the “ON” position.
- Brewing will begin quickly; water will be brought to a boil, rise through the brewer across the outlet arm, and into the brew basket. Refer to your brewer guide for brew times.
Now experience the real taste of coffee, perfectly brewed with your new Moccamaster!
Recommended Water-to-Coffee Ratio
The industry standard for optimal flavor is 2 tbsp. of ground coffee to every 6 oz. of water – or 55 grams of ground coffee per liter.
Best Practices for Best Results
Grind Size
Use a medium to medium-coarse grind. We suggest grinding your coffee either at
the time of purchase or at home with a Moccamaster grinder. Note that most
pre-ground, bagged coffee tends to be too finely ground for ideal operation.
Filters Check your brewer guide for replacement filter size. We recommend using oxygen-whitened filters. We advise against using gold mesh or other reusable filters, as they can cause inconsistent extraction times and are difficult to clean properly.
Water If it tastes good to drink, it will make good coffee. We recommend fresh tap, filtered, or bottled water. We do not recommend using reverse osmosis filtered water or distilled water, as it can damage the brewer’s boiling element.
What’s In The Cup The water-to-coffee ratio we recommend is the approved industry standard, but your taste preferences may vary. If your coffee is too strong, add hot water to your finished cup. If it’s too weak, DO NOT add more coffee – instead, try a different coffee roast or growing region.
Brewing at High Altitudes Moccamaster’s unique copper element brings
water to a boil.
At sea level, the boiling temperature is 212° F. The boiling temperature can
be as low as 198C) F at higher elevations, resulting in cooler brewing
temperatures. Rest assured, the brewer is still making great coffee!
Minimum Brew Volume
We recommend brewing no less than 4 cups (16 oz.) in all 8- to 10-cup brewers.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Replacement parts are available through many retailers, online at www.moccamaster.com, or through Customer Service at 855.662.2200.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Basic Cleaning
Clean the exterior of your brewer regularly with a moist cloth, wiping dry.
Handwash carafe and brew basket with mild dishwashing detergent after each
use. Rinse thoroughly. Carafes are not dishwasher safe. Remove coffee oil
stains from thermal carafes by placing a small amount of dishwasher detergent
and water in the carafe and allowing it to soak overnight, or use Urnex® or
Durgol® cleaning products (follow manufacturer directions).
Descaling Your Brewer
Descale your brewer every 100 cycles (easily remembered after every box of
100-count filters). or a minimum of every three months. We recommend Urnex® or
Durgol® descaling products (follow manufacturer directions). You must describe
your coffee brewer regularly to maintain performance and warranty coverage.
After descaling, always brew 2 full reservoirs of water through the brewer to
clear out any remaining descaling product.
Extended Storage and Anti-Frost Protection
If storing the brewer, or if leaving the unit unused for longer than 1 week:
- Turn the brewer off and unplug from the electrical outlet.
- Remove the outlet arm.
- Empty any remaining water within the brewer by holding it upside down over the sink.
- Replace the outlet arm before using the brewer again.
WHAT IS DESCALING?
- Over time, minerals from water accumulate inside the Moccamaster·s boiling element, forming scale.
- This buildup can stow and eventually stop the flow of water. It also can affect the brewing temperature and saturation time. If not desca/ed regularly, the brewer can become permanently damaged.
- Descaling products break down the mineral buildup inside your brewer, ensuring consistent brewer functionality and great coffee.
NOTE : We do not recommend descaling with vinegar. It may not effectively remove buildup and can be difficult to thoroughly rinse, resulting in a lingering odor that could affect future brews.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
Before the first use of your new coffee brewer, or if it has not been used for some time, we recommend running two brew cycles of plain water to rinse the water receptacle.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
The power supply cord is short to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If using an extension cord, its
marked electrical rating must be at least as great as the coffee brewer’s
electrical rating. The extension cord must be a grounding type 3 cord. The
extension cord should not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be
pulled over by children or tripped over.
ENVIRONMENTAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Dispose of filters and coffee grounds In an organic waste container or compost
heap where available. If not available, filters and grounds may be disposed of
in normal household waste. Please recycle all packaging and parts responsibly.
