Directions For Use

Get started with your Moccamaster coffee brewer 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 power switch to off.
Firmly attach outlet arm to silicone gasket at the top of the cool water reservoir; the fit should feel snug. Caution: outlet arm is HOT while brewing.
Fill cool water reservoir to the desired level with fresh, cool water. Place lid on the cool water reservoir.
Place paper filter in brew basket. Refer to your specific brewer’s guide for 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 bracket; position outlet arm over center of brew basket. Place lid on brew basket. For manual-adjust brew basket models, adjust slide to open position.
Place carafe into position. For Cup-One, ensure mug is pressed against studs or nested in the mug tray.
Plug into grounded outlet. Set power switch to “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!

Best Practices for Best Results

MOCCAMASTER Coffee Brewer - Grind Size | Grind Size
Use a medium to medium-coarse grind. We suggest grinding your co‑ ee either at the time of purchase or at home with a Moccamaster grinder. Note that most pre-ground, bagged co‑ ee tends to be too ﬁ nely ground for ideal operation.
---|---
| Filters
Check your brewer guide for replacement ﬁ later size. We recommend using oxygen-whitened ﬁ lters. We advise against using gold-mesh or other reusable ﬁ lters, 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.
MOCCAMASTER Coffee Brewer - What's In The Cup | What’s In The Cup
The water-to-co‑ ee ratio we recommend is the approved industry standard, but your taste preferences may vary. If your co‑ ee 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 198°F at higher elevations, resulting in cooler brewing temperatures. Rest assured, the brewer is still making great coffee!
MOCCAMASTER Coffee Brewer - Minimum Brew Volume | 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 descale 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 slow and eventually stop the flow of water. It also can affect the brewing temperature and saturation time. If not descaled 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.

When using electrical appliances, always follow basic safety precautions, including:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Unwrap the coffee brewer with care. Remove all packaging materials. Keep plastic and cardboard packaging out of reach of children.
Confirm the voltage of the brewer matches your main voltage. The brewer must be plugged into a socket with safety grounding.
Place the brewer on a flat surface in a frost-free room.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Do not place cord, plugs, or brewer in water or other liquids.
This brewer is not fit for use by adults or children with physical, mental, or sensory disabilities, or a lack of knowledge or experience, unless supervised or instructed on its use by a person who is held responsible for the aforementioned individual’s safety.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow brewer to cool before cleaning and before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate brewer with a damaged cord or plug, or if the brewer malfunctions or is damaged in any way. Return brewer to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Using an accessory not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injury or fire.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let cord hang over table or counter edges, and do not let it touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
To disconnect, turn power switch to “OFF” position, then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not use brewer for any purpose other than its intended use.
Do not remove brew basket or carafe while brewing.
Do not pour any liquids other than water or recommended cleaning products into water reservoir.
Always place all lids in the correct position, as shown in the descriptive images. Scalding may occur if any of these parts are removed during brewing cycles.
WARNING: Do not remove bottom panel of brewer; doing so will void warranty. No user-serviceable parts inside. Repair must be done by authorized personnel only.

GLASS CARAFE

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
WARNING. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER, NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REPAIRS SHOULD BE DONE BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

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.
