Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Moccamaster, place it on a flat, heat-resistant surface and run a full cycle with plain water to rinse the internal components before your first use. The machine is compatible with standard size 4 paper filters. For daily maintenance, rinse the glass carafe and brew basket with warm soapy water after every use. Descaling is required every 100 cycles—or more frequently in hard water areas—to ensure the copper heating element remains efficient and the internal tubing stays clear of mineral buildup. Use a dedicated coffee machine descaling solution, never vinegar, to protect the internal components.
