Buy Filter Coffee Machines Switzerland

Filter coffee machines are the most underrated type of equipment in the specialty sector – many espresso-focused setups overlook the fact that a filter cup often shows more aromatic clarity and fruitiness than an espresso shot. A good filter coffee machine produces consistently hot water at 92–96 °C (SCA standard), distributes it evenly over the coffee grounds, and delivers a large pot of specialty filter coffee with minimal effort. It's the ideal choice for families, offices, or home setups with high filter coffee volume.

Coffee Coaching Club carries 4 active models: two Moccamaster Swiss Versions as the established filter coffee class, a Hario V60 SWITCH as a manual pour-over immersion hybrid, and a Weber Workshops RoadRunner as a portable vacuum brewer for on the go.

Which Filter Coffee Machine for Which Setup

Why Moccamaster is the Specialty Filter Coffee Standard

Three points set the Moccamaster class apart in the market:

• Constant Brewing Temperature 92–96 °C: the copper heating element is Moccamaster-specific and keeps the brewing temperature within the SCA standard range. Avoids sour extraction (too cold) and bitter extraction (too hot).
• Made in the Netherlands since 1968: handmade, high-quality materials, durable construction. Repairable.
• ECBC and SCA Certified: the European Coffee Brewing Center and the Specialty Coffee Association test filter coffee machines for brewing temperature, water distribution, and extraction. Moccamaster is the only filter coffee machine that has been recognized by both international specialty institutes for years.

5-year warranty on durability and reparability, all parts are available separately – a Moccamaster is a 20+ year investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Moccamaster Cup One or KBG Select?

Cup One (CHF 228.95): compact, brews directly into a 300ml cup, ideal for office or single servings. KBG Select (CHF 268.95): glass carafe for 4–10 cups, ideal for family or home with volume. Both have the same brewing technology (92–96 °C copper heating element). For double servings at home: KBG Select. For solo workflow in the office: Cup One.

What can the Hario V60 SWITCH do?

The V60 SWITCH combines two brewing methods in one device: Pour-Over (water continuously flows through the grounds like with a classic V60) and Immersion (water remains in the dripper due to a closed metal ball; you press the switch when the desired steeping time is reached). Advantages: maximum workflow flexibility; you can decide depending on the bean and day. Disadvantages: requires external water heating, some manual effort. Very affordable (CHF 39.95) for the flexibility offered.

What differentiates the Weber RoadRunner from a V60?

The RoadRunner uses a patented vacuum system: negative pressure pulls the water through the grounds, instead of just letting it flow by gravity. Advantages: precise extraction without bypass (the water touches every particle of grounds), finer grinding possible, clean cup characteristics. Travel aspect: almost unbreakable Tritan plastic, integrated Bean Cellars for bean storage, compact. For setups that require specialty quality on the go.

Why do filter coffee machines cost 200–300 francs?

The main reason is the copper heating element of the Moccamaster (or similar premium heating elements). Cheap filter coffee machines from the supermarket (CHF 30–80) often have heating elements that only bring the water to 80–85 °C – too cold for good extraction. For specialty beans, the extra cost for a constant brewing temperature of 92–96 °C is crucial. Plus: handmade in the Netherlands, 5-year warranty, repairable.

Which beans are suitable for filter coffee machines?

Light to medium roasts are particularly suitable for filter coffee. From the CCC assortment: Wild Peach (Tero-Farm-Guji, peach-floral, Heirloom Bio-Organic) and Bright Cassis (Tero-Farm-Guji, cassis-radiant) are the ideal filter beans – their fruity aromas show up with exceptional clarity in filter coffee. For classic profiles: Cozy Chocolate. Robusta variants (Very Nutty, Creamy Chestnut) are more espresso-focused and less ideal for filter.

Filter coffee machine or manual pour-over?

Both have their justification. Filter coffee machine (Moccamaster): simpler workflow, consistent quality, ideal for daily family or office use. Manual Pour-Over: maximum workflow control, ideal for specialty demands and bean variability. For homes with specialty ambition: often both – Moccamaster for family/office, V60-SWITCH for weekends.

How do I clean a Moccamaster?

Rinse the glass carafe, filter holder, and lid with warm water after each use. Descale every 4–6 weeks with Moccamaster-specific descaler (or citric acid solution). Filter size 4 for KBG, Cup-One-specific filter size. Plastic parts are not dishwasher safe, glass carafe is.

Can I test filter coffee machines before buying?

Yes, in the showrooms in Bern and Zurich Oerlikon. We will show Moccamaster, Hario V60 SWITCH and manual pour-over types directly side-by-side with your preferred beans. For a specialty comparison (Moccamaster vs. manual pour-over), a separate appointment is recommended.
