Moccamaster

Moccamaster Switzerland – Dutch Filter Coffee Machines since 1968

You fill the water tank with cold water, put ground beans into the filter basket, press the switch. Six minutes later, a pot with one to 1.25 liters of coffee stands in the carafe – evenly extracted, at a controlled 92 to 96 degrees, without you having done anything in between. This is the promise of Moccamaster, which it has been delivering since 1968. The copper heating element brings the water to brewing temperature in one go, the spray head distributes it evenly over the entire coffee grounds. No pump, no pressure, no programmed brewing curves. Just water that is exactly the right temperature, through a filter with the correct geometry, in the right amount of time. Brutally simple physics – perfectly executed.

Moccamaster is handcrafted by the Dutch family business Technivorm in Amerongen. The Moccamaster brand has been in production since 1968 – the copper heating element and the spray head geometry are the engineering constants that the company has not changed over decades because they simply work. Both models carried by CCC (Cup One and KBG Select) are certified as filter coffee machines by both the European Coffee Brewing Center and the Specialty Coffee Association – which is unusual for mass-produced devices and confirms independently tested brewing quality. Coffee Coaching Club carries both machines in the Swiss version with a Swiss plug, along with original filter paper in both necessary sizes.

What makes Moccamaster special

Three characteristics define the brand. First, the copper heating element: Copper conducts heat better than most alternatives, quickly and evenly bringing water to the specialty coffee brewing temperature of 92–96 °C. Standard filter coffee machines usually operate below 90 °C and underextract – the coffee grounds do not release all flavors, and the coffee tastes sour or weak. Second, hand assembly in the Netherlands: every Moccamaster is handcrafted, with a 5-year manufacturer's warranty and repairability as a design principle. All spare parts are available separately, allowing machines to be maintained for decades. Third, SCA and ECBC certification: Moccamaster is one of the few filter coffee machine lines that pass these independent technical tests.

Understanding Moccamaster Technology

Copper Heating Element (Brand constant since 1968)
The core of every Moccamaster. Copper conducts heat significantly better than the stainless steel or aluminum heating elements used in standard filter coffee machines, bringing water to 92–96 °C in a continuous flow. This temperature is the SCA-specified specialty coffee brewing range – below 90 °C, the coffee is underextracted (sour, weak), above 96 °C, it is overextracted (bitter). The copper heating element automatically maintains this corridor without sensors or PID electronics.
Spray Head Geometry and Gravity Filtering
The hot water is distributed over a spray head into the conical filter basket – in the KBG Select via the characteristic 9-hole outlet pipe, which ensures even water distribution. Extraction occurs by gravity through the filter into the carafe, without pressure, without a pump. The brewing time results from the water quantity and grind size: approx. 4 minutes for Cup One, approx. 6 minutes for a full KBG pot.
ECBC and SCA Certification
The European Coffee Brewing Center and the Specialty Coffee Association operate independent testing programs for filter coffee machines. Tested parameters include brewing temperature (in the 92–96 °C corridor for at least 50% of the brewing time), contact time (4–8 minutes), water quantity per cup, and even extraction. Both Moccamaster models in the CCC range pass both tests – which represents an independent technical confirmation of brewing quality and is rare in the mass market for filter coffee machines.
Select Switch (KBG Select)
Switch for selecting between a full and half pot. In half-pot mode, the flow time is delayed – the water gets the necessary contact time with the coffee grounds, even if the water quantity is smaller. Otherwise, a half pot would run through in half the time and not be sufficiently extracted. Practical advantage: the same machine can be used effectively for 1–2 cups and for 4–10 cups.
Filter Paper No. 1 vs No. 4
Two different filter sizes, both oxygen-bleached (environmentally friendly bleaching process, no chlorine). No. 1 (80 pieces per pack) fits the Cup One machine. No. 4 (100 pieces) fits all Moccamaster multi-cup machines with glass or thermal carafes of 1 to 1.25 liters capacity – this includes KB, KBG, KBGT, CDGT and thus also the KBG Select carried by CCC. Important: No. 4 does not fit Cup One or Basket models.

Moccamaster Filter Paper No. 1 / No. 4 – CHF 6.50

Original filter paper from Moccamaster, oxygen-bleached (environmentally friendly process without chlorine). Two sizes:

  • No. 1 (80 pieces) – for the Cup One machine
  • No. 4 (100 pieces) – for KBG Select and all other multi-cup models with 1–1.25 L carafe (KB, KBG, KBGT, CDGT)

Manufacturer's recommendation: Rinse filter briefly with warm water before use – removes paper taste, pre-warms carafe. No returns possible for hygienic reasons.

Other Moccamaster Models

Moccamaster internationally offers other models with different configurations: KB as a classic model without a select switch, KBGT with a thermal carafe instead of a glass carafe, CDGT as a professional version for offices and cafes, KBGV Select as a KBG variant with a thermal carafe. These models are currently not in the CCC range. If you are specifically looking for one of these models (especially for a thermal carafe setup or larger capacity), please contact us – we will individually check procurement and delivery times.

How to Brew on the Moccamaster KBG Select

  1. Dose coffee grounds: Ratio 1:15 to 1:17. For a full pot (1 L) approx. 60–65 g of coffee. For a half pot approx. 30–35 g.
  2. Adjust grind size: Medium-coarse, slightly finer than Chemex and coarser than espresso. On Comandante C40 approx. 18–22 clicks. On 1Zpresso K-Ultra approx. 60–75 clicks. On an electric filter grinder, the corresponding setting.
  3. Insert filter No. 4, rinse briefly with warm water (to remove paper taste), discard water.
  4. Pour in coffee grounds, distribute evenly.
  5. Pour in water: Water tank with cold water, to the mark for the desired number of cups.
  6. Set select switch to full or half pot, turn on main switch.
  7. Wait for brewing time: approx. 6 minutes for a full pot. Machine automatically switches to warming plate.

Cup One Brew: Insert filter No. 1, grind 14–18 g coffee, pour in 250–300 ml water, turn on switch, wait 4 minutes. Auto-off after brewing.

Who is Moccamaster for?

Moccamaster is suitable for families and office setups who want to brew several cups at the touch of a button, without manual pour-over work. Particularly useful for specialty coffee lovers who value brewing temperature and even extraction but do not want to perform the manual pour-over effort every morning. Also for single setups with a need for one cup per day: the Cup One delivers directly into the cup in 4 minutes, without pour-over equipment.

For those who prefer classic hand-poured pour-over: Chemex with a wooden collar carafe, HARIO V60 as a single-cup classic, Weber Workshops BIRD as a modern pour-over geometry. For those looking for a programmable electric filter solution with larger capacity for cafe volume: please request separate consultation – that is a different market segment. Moccamaster is the Dutch home premium choice between automatic brewing and specialty coffee standard.

What goes well with it

For grinding: Comandante C40 MK4 as a premium hand grinder for filter, 1Zpresso K-Ultra as an all-round hand grinder, Kinu M47 with pour-over grinding mechanism for filter-focused grinding. For electric filter grinders: Eureka Mignon Filtro as a home standard, Mahlkönig X54 or E64 WS for cafe volume. For single-dose precision: Varia VS3 or VS4 (VS4 with SCA Best New Product Award 2026), Option-O Lagom P64 for filter-focused single-dose.

For water filtration as maintenance of the copper heating element: Brita filter for daily use. For precise brewing water: Apax Labs mineral profiles (exclusive Swiss importer). For cups: Loveramics. For pour-over scales: Acaia Pearl as a filter standard. For beans from our own roastery: CCC-Own Roasts – light specialty roasts like Wild Peach and Bright Cassis come through on Moccamaster with good aroma clarity, Cozy Chocolate delivers a classic body profile.

Frequent Questions

Which Moccamaster models does Coffee Coaching Club carry?

Currently two machines: Cup One Swiss Version (CHF 228.95–238.95, single-brew, three colors Black/Off-White/Orange) and KBG Select Swiss Version (CHF 268.95–298.95, multi-cup 4–10, four colors Black/Apricot/Brushed/Brushed Brass). Plus original filters No. 1 (for Cup One) and No. 4 (for KBG Select). Other Moccamaster models such as KBGV Select, KB, KBGT, or CDGT are not currently in stock – can be individually checked upon request.

Cup One or KBG Select?

Cup One: for single setups or as an addition to an espresso machine, one cup directly into the porcelain mug, 4 minutes brewing time. KBG Select: for families and office setups with 1–3 people, full pot (1–1.25 L) in 6 minutes, select switch for half pot with adjusted flow time, warming plate. Rule of thumb: if you only need one cup per person daily and no reserve for later, choose Cup One. If you want multiple cups at once or with seconds, choose KBG Select.

Which filter paper do I need – No. 1 or No. 4?

No. 1 is for the Cup One (80 pieces per pack). No. 4 is for the KBG Select and all other multi-cup Moccamaster models with 1–1.25 L carafe such as KB, KBG, KBGT, and CDGT (100 pieces per pack). No. 4 does not fit Cup One or Basket models. Both filters are oxygen-bleached (environmentally friendly bleaching process without chlorine).

What grind size does a Moccamaster need?

Medium – slightly finer than Chemex, significantly coarser than espresso. On Comandante C40 approx. 18–22 clicks. On 1Zpresso K-Ultra approx. 60–75 clicks. On Kinu M47 approx. 4–5 turns from zero point. On an electric filter grinder, the corresponding filter setting. Adjust according to brewing time and taste: if it runs through too quickly = grind a little finer.

What is the coffee to water ratio?

Standard 1:15 to 1:17. For a full KBG pot (1 L) approx. 60–65 g of coffee. For Cup One (approx. 250–300 ml) approx. 14–18 g. For a stronger cup, more coffee (1:14), for a weaker cup, less (1:18).

What do ECBC and SCA certification mean?

The European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC) and the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) are independent industry organizations that technically test filter coffee machines. They check brewing temperature (a corridor of 92–96 °C for at least 50% of the brewing time), contact time (4–8 minutes), water quantity per cup, and even extraction. Machines that pass both tests belong to the smaller group of filter coffee machines suitable for specialty coffee. Both Moccamaster models carried by CCC pass both certifications.

Why is a copper heating element important?

Copper conducts heat significantly better than the aluminum or stainless steel heating elements found in cheaper filter coffee machines. This means the water reaches the specialty coffee brewing temperature (92–96 °C) faster and can maintain this temperature stably. Inexpensive filter coffee machines with aluminum heating elements often only reach 85–88 °C, which leads to under-extraction (coffee tastes sour or weak, does not release all its aromas).

How long does a Moccamaster last?

Moccamaster offers a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. The machines are designed for repairability – all spare parts (glass carafe, filter holder, heating element, spray head) are individually available. With home use, Moccamaster machines usually last for several decades. In case of service, CCC is the first point of contact and coordinates repairs and spare parts directly with Technivorm.

Is the Moccamaster dishwasher safe?

The machine itself is not (electrical device). The glass carafe, filter holder, and filter holder lid are washable in the top rack of the dishwasher. Occasionally descale with hard water residues (with Moccamaster-recommended descaler or citric acid solution) – this extends the lifespan of the copper heating element.

Can I see a Moccamaster live in Switzerland before buying?

Yes – subject to availability in the showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). You are welcome to bring your own beans – the tactile quality and brewing sound of the Moccamaster cannot be conveyed through photos. Not all color variants are simultaneously on site, a quick inquiry is sufficient.

How is Moccamaster delivered in Switzerland?

Standard shipping throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2 to 4 working days. Click and Collect in Bern and Zurich. Free shipping from CHF 60. Financing via Heylight possible. Both machines are supplied in the Swiss Version with a Swiss plug and 230 V.

Roastery Tip

Moccamaster particularly excels with light to medium specialty roasts – the stable 92–96 °C brewing temperature extracts the brighter aromas better than standard filter machines with lower temperatures. Wild Peach with peach notes and Bright Cassis with cassis aroma come through with good fruit clarity on the KBG Select. Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight as medium-dark profiles also work very well, with a dense body and chocolate notes. For the Cup One with 18 g of beans to 300 ml of water, 1:17 is a good starting point; for a full KBG pot of 60 g to 1 L (1:16), it's a classic specialty standard. One of many possibilities.

What grind size does a Moccamaster need?

Medium – slightly finer than Chemex, significantly coarser than espresso. On Comandante C40 approx. 18–22 clicks. On 1Zpresso K-Ultra approx. 60–75 clicks. On Kinu M47 approx. 4–5 turns from zero point. On an electric filter grinder, the corresponding filter setting. Adjust according to brewing time and taste: if it runs through too quickly = grind a little finer.

What is the coffee to water ratio?

Standard 1:15 to 1:17. For a full KBG pot (1 L) approx. 60–65 g of coffee. For Cup One (approx. 250–300 ml) approx. 14–18 g. For a stronger cup, more coffee (1:14), for a weaker cup, less (1:18).

What do ECBC and SCA certification mean?

The European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC) and the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) are independent industry organizations that technically test filter coffee machines. They check brewing temperature (a corridor of 92–96 °C for at least 50% of the brewing time), contact time (4–8 minutes), water quantity per cup, and even extraction. Machines that pass both tests belong to the smaller group of filter coffee machines suitable for specialty coffee. Both Moccamaster models carried by CCC pass both certifications.

Why is a copper heating element important?

Copper conducts heat significantly better than the aluminum or stainless steel heating elements found in cheaper filter coffee machines. This means the water reaches the specialty coffee brewing temperature (92–96 °C) faster and can maintain this temperature stably. Inexpensive filter coffee machines with aluminum heating elements often only reach 85–88 °C, which leads to under-extraction (coffee tastes sour or weak, does not release all its aromas).

How long does a Moccamaster last?

Moccamaster offers a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. The machines are designed for repairability – all spare parts (glass carafe, filter holder, heating element, spray head) are individually available. With home use, Moccamaster machines usually last for several decades. In case of service, CCC is the first point of contact and coordinates repairs and spare parts directly with Technivorm.

Is the Moccamaster dishwasher safe?

The machine itself is not (electrical device). The glass carafe, filter holder, and filter holder lid are washable in the top rack of the dishwasher. Occasionally descale with hard water residues (with Moccamaster-recommended descaler or citric acid solution) – this extends the lifespan of the copper heating element.

Can I see a Moccamaster live in Switzerland before buying?

Yes – subject to availability in the showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich Oerlikon (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). You are welcome to bring your own beans – the tactile quality and brewing sound of the Moccamaster cannot be conveyed through photos. Not all color variants are simultaneously on site, a quick inquiry is sufficient.

How is Moccamaster delivered in Switzerland?

Standard shipping throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2 to 4 working days. Click and Collect in Bern and Zurich. Free shipping from CHF 60. Financing via Heylight possible. Both machines are supplied in the Swiss Version with a Swiss plug and 230 V.

Roastery Tip

Moccamaster particularly excels with light to medium specialty roasts – the stable 92–96 °C brewing temperature extracts the brighter aromas better than standard filter machines with lower temperatures. Wild Peach with peach notes and Bright Cassis with cassis aroma come through with good fruit clarity on the KBG Select. Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight as medium-dark profiles also work very well, with a dense body and chocolate notes. For the Cup One with 18 g of beans to 300 ml of water, 1:17 is a good starting point; for a full KBG pot of 60 g to 1 L (1:16), it's a classic specialty standard. One of many possibilities.
