Why You Need a Moccamaster Coffee Brewer

If you’re a coffee lover who is spending a ton of money on daily takeaway coffees, or a homebrewer with too many morning to-do’s to perfect your morning brew, a Moccamaster coffee brewer can solve all your coffee woes.

This magic machine is one of my latest favorite kitchen appliances. Not only does it save me precious time, but it also produces a delicious, clean, crisp, and flavorsome cup of coffee, day in and day out. So, here are my top reasons as to why you should own your very own Moccamaster brewer.

Who is Moccamaster & Why Do We Trust Them?

In short, they are the coffeemaker makers! Technivorm is a Dutch company and factory founded in 1964 by Gerard Clement Smit. They are the mastermind behind the Moccamaster products such as premium quality coffee brewers and grinders. 

Moccamaster products have had to reach high standards and pass rigorous testing to achieve seals of approval from associations like the Speciality Coffee Association (SCA) and the European Coffee Brewing Center (ECBC). By earning these seals of approval,  Moccamaster has achieved strict gold cup quality guidelines, so we know we are in great hands already.  

Coffee Perfection in a Cup

So what exactly does it take to brew a gold cup of coffee? Well, to achieve perfection in a cup we need perfect alignment of a few moving parts such as a consistent coffee grind from quality beans, ultimate water temperature, perfect brew time, and the ideal ratio of coffee solubles in water. 

Water Temperature

You may not think that the water temperature would be so important in concocting the perfect brew, but it is necessary to properly release the coffee solubles which are essential for the delicious flavor of your coffee. The ultimate water temperature for brewing coffee is 196° to 205° F and Moccamaster’s copper boiling element will take care of consistent and precise water temperature throughout the entire brew process. 

Brewing Time

The other important aspect of brewing a perfect coffee is the saturation or brew time. When the saturation is too long, the coffee becomes bitter and acidic, and when the brew time is too short, the coffee is underdeveloped and missing flavor. The Moccamasters optimal pulse-drip method takes about 4 to 6 mins and allows for the perfect coffee bloom and saturation time. 

Ratio of Coffee Solubles

Finally, to complete the perfect flavor profile of our coffee, it’s really important that the right amount of coffee solubles are extracted during the brewing process as this ultimately determines the flavor of the brewed coffee. This is measured by the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) coffee to water ratio and the Moccamaster will produce a perfect TDS yield of 18% to 22%, which exceeds the requirements to reach the Gold Cup Standard. 

I think it’s safe to say that this precision machine has been perfectly designed to brew coffee perfectly - every single time. It’s even possible that you’ve never tasted coffee like this before. 

So, now that we know all about how Moccamaster is going to produce a delicious, perfect cup of coffee for us day-in and day-out, let’s take a look at some other reasons why I like this company.

They are Built with the Environment & Sustainability in Mind

Moccamaster brewers are built to last and customers often report that their brewer is still thriving after 12 or 15 years. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that these brewers have been carefully designed to facilitate product longevity by making the parts with the hardest wear, easily replaceable. 

One of my favorite things about my Moccamaster is that it’s environmentally friendly in more ways than one. In terms of its construction, all materials are recyclable. The body is made of durable metal, and where plastics are used, they are BPA, BPS, BPF and Phthalate free, and even the product packaging is 100% recyclable.  

Moccamaster is so sure of their product quality that they include a 5-year warranty on all of their brewers to support their quality statement. 

The Machine is Incredibly Easy to Use

After hearing about all the amazing things the Moccamaster will do, you may be feeling a little overwhelmed about how on Earth you’re going to get it to produce this perfect cup we’re talking about. Well, the best part is, you don’t need to be a coffee connoisseur when you own a Moccamaster - all it takes to achieve the perfect cup of coffee is the flip of a switch! The machine literally does everything for you and is programmed perfectly so that all you have to do is load it with the ingredients and away you go. 

I’d like to mention that it is recommended that you use filtered water or grounds (not those that have been sitting out overnight) for your brew, but because of the simple and easy process, adding these ingredients in the morning is no chore… especially when the outcome is a delicious, fresh cup of coffee.

Dynamic Product Range

I personally own the Moccamaster KBG in Turquoise and love its modern and stylish design and that I can brew 10 perfect cups of coffee in 6 minutes flat! But, if you’re looking for something a little different, they do offer a range of different brewers such as machines with thermal carafes instead of glass, single-serve brewers, and larger brewers that would be ideal for an office or cafe environment. One of my favorite thing about these brewers is the colors they come in! They give your kitchen such a great pop of color or if you want to go more neutral they have you covered there too.

Where to Buy Your Own Moccamaster

If you’ve been thinking about investing in your very own brewer or you love the idea of owning your own Moccamaster, you can shop the product range here. There are so many different colors to choose from that you’re bound to find a Moccamaster that will fit perfectly into your kitchen, cafe, or office decor.

After all, life’s too short to drink bad coffee or to pull your hair out trying to perfect your homebrew and I think you’ll love leaving it up to the Moccamaster, just as I do.
