Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Moccamaster involves a quick initial rinse: run one full reservoir of water through the machine without coffee to clear the internal lines. For daily care, rinse the glass carafe and the removable filter basket with warm, soapy water after each use. The machine uses standard #4 paper filters, which are widely available. To maintain longevity, descale your machine every 100 cycles—or more frequently if you live in a hard water area—using a non-acidic descaling solution designed for coffee equipment. Avoid putting the plastic parts in the dishwasher to prevent warping; hand washing is recommended to keep the components in pristine condition for years.
