WHAT’S IMPORTANT WHEN SELECTING A COFFEE BREWER?
• Temperature (200° F) • Reliability
• Saturation Time (4 to 6 minutes) • Longevity
• Warranty (5 year) • Cleanability
THE MOCCAMASTER STANDS OUT!
The Technivorm Moccamaster Coffeemaker’s advanced brewing
technique has earned certifications from the Specialty Coffee
Associations of America and Europe (SCAA & SCAE) as well as the
European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC) Seal of Approval.
The ECBC approved seal is only awarded to products that have
passed the extensive quality control and laboratory testing of the
Norwegian Coffee Association. Technivorm Moccamaster is the only
manufacturer with ECBC approval for all its household machines.
Good-looking, high-tech coffee brewers with fancy features do
not necessarily brew better coffee. Only coffee brewers that make
“the perfect cup,” in compliance with the association’s strict
standards and regulations, are approved.

OPTIONAL FEATURES
Brew-Basket
• The Moccamaster manual-adjust brew-basket has three settings:
Open For brewing a full pot of coffee, 6–10 cups.
This setting manually allows for
normal water flow over coffee grounds.
½ Open For brewing a ½ pot of coffee (2–5 cups)
or for use with brewing tea. This setting
manually slows the drip to allow for
longer saturation time.
Closed Stops flow of coffee if you want a quick cup before
is complete (NOT recommended). This setting manually
the flow to allow for a longer saturation time. This option
will allow for overflow if not watched closely! This setting
also
stops coffee drips at end of brew cycle for emptying the
brew-basket.
Hot-Plate Temperature Switch
• Glass carafe models: The hot-plate
temperature switch is explained with
a full circle and a ½ circle which maintains
a holding temperature between 175-185° F
degrees. Models without selection switch
automatically hold at 180° F.
Locking the footplate in place
• Tilt coffee brewer backwards slightly.
• Hook footplate’s vertical rim into the
cut away opening, then lower brewer.
Footplate is now locked in place.
• Place the thermal carafe on the footplate,
so it presses the white button on the inner base.
Destratification Tube
• The glass carafe with the destratification tube
lid and the thermal carafe “Brew-Thru-Lid”
make stirring of the coffee unnecessary
before serving resulting in a
warmer, pre-mixed brew.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Power switch should be in the off position.
2. Position 9-hole outlet arm as shown in the diagram.
· Attach snuggly to the silicone gasket at the top of the
cool water reservoir.
3. Fill cool water reservoir to the desired level, with fresh filtered
or bottled cool water. Replace cool water reservoir lid.
· Reservoir is marked with the number of European cups: 4 oz. each.
4. Place filter in brew-basket.
· Place a standard #4 white paper filter into the brew-basket.
5. Add the appropriate amount of coffee.
· For a full 10 cups, we recommend 7 level scoops (2 Tbsp each).
· The SCAA approved industry standard for the perfect cup is
2 tablespoons to every 6 oz. of water.
· We caution against the use of a gold mesh reusable filter; they tend
to retain coffee oils and clog very quickly, resulting in an overflow of
the brew-basket and filter.
6. Place brew-basket on bracket, position outlet arm over center
of brew-basket.
· For manual adjust brew-basket models, adjust slide to open position.
CAUTION: Brew-basket will overflow in a closed position.
· Replace brew-basket lid.
CAUTION: Scalding may occur if any of these parts are removed
during brew cycle.
7. Carafe placement:
· Place the glass carafe, with lid, on the hot-plate.
· Place thermal carafe, with the “brew-thru-lid” in brew position
beneath the brew-basket bracket. (Carafe should be placed to
depress the white button). We recommend warming the thermal
carafe with hot water before use.
8
8. Switch the power switch to the “on” position.
· Thermal carafe model: The orange light will illuminate when the
thermal carafe is placed properly against the white button.
· Glass carafe models with a hot-plate adjustable switch:
Set hot-plate switch to the HI position,
lower when pot reaches ½ full, or if you
prefer a less warm holding temperature.
LO
9. The brew process will quickly begin; water will be brought to a
boil, rising through the brewer across the outlet arm and into the
brew-basket. Brew process is complete in 4 – 6 minutes.
10. We recommend disposing of coffee grounds once brew cycle
is complete.
· For models with adjustable brew-baskets: Move the slide to closed
position prior to emptying.
11. The brewer should be switched off after use.
• Thermal carafe models:
· The heating element is not receiving power unless the water
reservoir is full, engaging the flow-switch, and the white button is
depressed; the only power consumption is at the power switch itself,
resulting in a very energy-efficient brewer.
HI
• Glass carafe models:
· Should be turned off when hot-plate use is no longer desired.
· Optional Auto-off models will automatically shut off in 100 minutes.
Now enjoy a perfect cup of coffee, brewed to industry standards
with your new Technivorm Moccamaster!
Coffee tastes best immediately after brewing!

FREQUENTLY
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Basic Cleaning
• Clean the brewer regularly with a moist cloth and wipe dry. After each
use, hand wash the carafe and brew-basket with mild detergent.
Rinse thoroughly. Carafe is not dishwasher safe. Thermal carafe coffee
oil stains may be removed by placing a small amount of dishwasher
detergent and water in carafe and allowing it to soak overnight or we
recommend the use of Cleancaf® by Urnex®.
• Do not submerge brewer in liquid.
Descaling Your Brewer
• Your coffee maker must be descaled regularly to maintain
optimal performance.
• When mineral deposits build up in the heating element of your
Technivorm Moccamaster, it can clog the water flow and affect
the brew temperature and saturation time. If not descaled regularly,
the brewer can stop working.
• Descaling products are designed to break down the lime scale and
mineral buildup inside your brewer to ensure consistent brewer
functionality and great coffee. We recommend the use of Dezcal™
by Urnex® for descaling your brewer.
• Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer and can be difficult
to thoroughly rinse. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that could
affect future brews.
• Technivorm Moccamaster recommends descaling your brewer every
100 cycles (easily remembered after every box of 100-count filters) or
a minimum of every 3 months.
• Cleaning powders are designed to remove coffee oils from the
brew-basket, carafe, etc.
• After descaling, run two brew cycles with water.
ASKED QUESTIONS
Anti-Frost Protection and Extended Storage Guidelines
• Turn the brewer off and remove the electrical plug from outlet.
• Remove the 9-hole outlet arm.
• Empty any remaining water within brewer by holding it upside down
over the sink.
• Replace the 9-hole outlet arm before using the brewer again.

FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is my brewer not heating to 200° F?
The Technivorm Moccamaster Coffeemakers operate on the scientific
principle of bringing water to a boil. It is this boiling action that causes
the transfer of the water to the brew-basket. If the water is not heated
to the boiling point, it will not move to the brew-basket. The brewer
is designed to move the proper amount of water (40 oz.) in the
correct amount of time (5 minutes). This is the correct water contact
time needed for the proper extraction.
What is the total brewing time for my Technivorm?
The complete brewing cycle should take 4 – 6 minutes. However, if the
coffee brewer is not descaled regularly, the scale/lime buildup could
result in a slower brew time or simply cease functioning—the lights will
be on, but the water transfer will not function until descaled with a
product such as Dezcal™ by Urnex®.
Why doesn’t the Technivorm have a timer?
A great cup of coffee starts with cool, fresh, filtered or bottled water and
freshly ground or pre-ground packaged coffee to achieve the perfect
cup. When water is left in water reservoir overnight, it is depleted of
oxygen, which is essential to brewing a perfect cup of coffee.
NOTE: Technivorm Moccamaster is fast; it only takes 30 seconds to start
the brew process, with completion in 4 – 6 minutes.
Do the brewers automatically “shut off” after a set period?
The glass carafe models with the Auto-off option will shut off at
100 minutes. Glass and thermal carafe models without this option
will need to be manually shut off after each use.
NOTE: The heating element is not using power or activated
except during the brew cycle when the water reservoir float switch
is engaged.
Why does this brewer have so many removable parts?
Parts that come in contact with coffee have been designed to be removable
for cleaning and replacement purposes. Clean equipment is critical to
brewing good coffee.
How do I order replacement parts?
