A Guide to Brewing with a Moccamaster

If filter style coffee is your thing then you should seriously consider an investment in the world famous Moccamaster! An automated brewer capable of brewing filter coffee by the cup, or up to two litre batches depending on the model, The coffee style typically used for ‘batch brew’ is lighter in development to maximise complexity and sweetness in the cup, and allow more subtle flavours to be brought forward. 

To brew larger quantities of filter coffee to serve multiple people, or a single batch brew enthusiast such as ourselves, there’s no equipment better suited than the Moccamaster. 

Here’s our brew guide that can be applied to all Moccamaster models!
