I’ve been dying for the Moccamaster forever and a friend just gave me hers! I have no idea how to use it and found your video. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to try- yum yum!

[@jura6627]

Hi. Thanks for the nice videos. I wish you a peaceful Christmas. Jura from Prague.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Same to you 😀 Happy holidays!

[@battleblades]

Perfect timing! I just stumbled upon one of these for $130 USD new in the box, bought it for my dad :)

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Nice!

[@LumiLunar]

It's like an electric clever dripper.

[@HownowBrowncow999]

Great video, very helpful! I just bought the KBT and, thanks to you, my coffee is tasting awesome!

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Great to hear!

[@alesiaoreilly1538]

Thank You

[@AlternativeBrewing]

You're welcome

[@MikeFLHT]

Just bought this brewer last month and I have to say it is amazing! Best coffee I've ever had. The thermal carafe is fantastic and I really don't miss having a glass pot on the burner to burn the coffee. Best coffee purchase I've ever made.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Great to hear!

[@whitemagicsponge7190]

Is the thermo can any good? does it keep the cooffee warm?

[@MikeFLHT]

@@whitemagicsponge7190 yes, the thermal carafe does a great job of keeping the coffee warm. I recommend running hot water through it at first to get the interior heated before you brew your coffee.

[@nycjake4553]

Nice video mate! You did a good job. I enjoy my Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741. The Technivorm and the Alessi 9090 Stovetop Espresso Make are my two favorite coffee makers. -:)

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Very nice!

You can always turn the brew basket back and forth to evenly spread the water over the grounds. Since the Moccamaster brews as fast as it does, you won't have to do this for very long as a full reservoir (1.25 L) takes roughly only 5 minutes to empty. I would do that rather than place more grounds on one side like another user suggested. Try it. It's pretty easy to do. Simply spin the brew basket back and forth slowly right to left. You will evenly spread the water. Or do this until the basket is pretty full and give the basket a little shake for a second or two like in a manual pour over to get the grounds off of the side. Once the basket is pretty full with water you may be able to leave it alone for the rest of the brew cycle. You can also give it a little shake just before the drawdown completes so that the bed ends up fairly flat. Of course, many may prefer not to manually brew their coffee, since it is an "Automatic" drip not a manual pour over. So, just a few spins back and forth for a minute or so until the top of the grounds are evenly wet may do the trick for you. I'll try using the Half setting instead of the fully opened setting. Sounds like a great idea. I will say that the recommended two tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water is way too strong for me. I need to use just One tablespoon of coffee per 6 ounces of water. Technivorm suggests brewing this way anyway and just add hot water to your cup to weaken it. For now I just brew it at 1 tablespoon per 6 ounces water.

[@orrinbelcher6593]

Wonderful wonderful and beautifully made, great and informative video, superbly done, thank you

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gordonspicer]

Hi, any chance someone can help me with this particular model ? I've got a problem. When its brewing coffee with the steel thermos carafe firmly in place the coffee arriving in the basket drips from below and drains along the wall of the machine onto the counter. I have tried washing the brew basket thoroughly and moving the non drip switch, but the problem persists. Thanks.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

American coffee drinkers should remember that while a model like this says '10 cups', what that really means is 40 ounces (4 ounces is how Technivorm measures a 'coffee cup', which is not the same as an 8 ounce 'measuring cup'). In reality, a half batch on this machine is only enough to fill a 20 ounce travel mug. In other words, a half batch is about one serving, for Americans. For reference, a large coffee at McDonald's is about 17 ounces.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

That's great information! thanks so much 👌

[@TheCaptmac]

Great video. I was wondering how long will the carafe keep the coffee at a decent drinking temperature?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

At least 3-4 hours with the lid on 😀

[@Commander_HW]

No matter how good this coffee maker is, as long as it still doesn't have a timer, i'll still won't buy it. There is just something about waking up to the smell of coffee and bird chirping(my alarm) that just makes me waking up in a happy mood.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

haha fair point 😀

[@ennissthemenace]

Try a smart switch

[@altacalifornio5375]

Try growing up

[@cristopherfrakes1416]

​@@altacalifornio5375like you did? Attacking strangers on the KZbin comments?

[@paulmillerick4092]

Great video! Is it possible to make smaller batches of coffee with this model? I mean like 3-5 cups. I own a Cup One for a single cup. Thank you!

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Yes you can!

[@ftakenouchi1464]

Do you recommend expensive bur grinder and what setting would you suggest for grind to get best results? Medium seem so broad.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

A Baratza Encore would be a great Grinder for this machine. At a setting of 20-24 👌 is perfect

[@aahmed6975]

I would like to use lavazza coffee beans in this..which type would you recommend

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

You should use whatever tastes good to you, instead of deciding what brand you will use before you even taste it. I mean, are you making coffee to look at the label on the bag of beans, or do you plan on drinking it?

[@alesiaoreilly1538]

Could you tell me why my brew basket overflowed 2 times since I have had it only two weeks. I don’t k ow how to troubleshoot this issue yet. Thanks

[@AlternativeBrewing]

This would be as a result of the basket either being half open or closed // or occasionally there can be a small blockage in the outlet hole from the basket in to the carafe - check to make sure there is no blockage ... you can add less coffee in the basket and aslo than begin to grind coarser ground coffee ... this should allow the water to pass through without becoming to dense for the water to pass through 👍

[@GEBrant]

Great video, thank you! I have an Airbnb, and wouldn't dare let guests play with that flow control switch on the filter holder, so I opted instead for the KBGT. I am going to instruct my guests to measure 32 oz. of water to eight measures of coffee from the brown scoop that came with the machine. How does that sound to you? My fear is that on the machine you demoed, that a guest might shut that flow control off, and then we're going to have a mess to clean up! Thanks!

[@AlternativeBrewing]

That's a great idea! Yeah more like 6-7 good scoops of Coffee - (8) may end up being too much 😀

[@bigstroke2069]

Thanks for the informative video. However, I found it difficult to listen to you because I was distracted by the annoying music track. Thanks, again.

[@AlternativeBrewing]

Noted!

[@ThePhysioGuys]

How do you recommend avoiding the pitting in the grounds during brewing?

[@AlternativeBrewing]

I'll usually have the filter basket set to half-closed that keeps the water level reasonably high so there's less turbulence as the water is flowing in. My grind is usually dialled-in in a little coarser in order to allow a faster flow out of the basket, managing the flow there.

[@Scoop2992]

I place more of my grounds a little heavier on the side of the basket closer to the unit. I don't always have time to pre infuse or stir the grounds.

[@katzparov]

@@Scoop2992 You can always turn the brew basket back and forth to evenly spread the water over the grounds. Since the Moccamaster brews as fast as it does, you won't have to do this for very long as a full reservoir (1.25 L) takes roughly only 5 minutes to empty.

[@chuckdearruda6271]

I know I’m late to this party. Isn’t 6X8=48? Isn’t 1.25 L very close to 41 oz.? And don’t the call this a 40 oz. brewer? I hope to replace a 48 oz. machine. So, is this closer to 40 or 48 oz.? 40 I’m afraid? 5 X 8 maybe? Great video though. I learned a lot that will help me get a brew closer to pour over. This is the video that pushes me to purchase. Thanks

[@AlexanderRiehl]

It's a 42 oz machine but well worth the slight loss in capacity.

[@katzparov]

@@AlexanderRiehl I have found that the measure lines on the reservoir do not accurately match the weight of a digital scale. The 1.25 liter line is just about 42 ounces. One Litre of water from a digital scale goes over the 1 liter mark on the reservoir by approx. 1/4 inch or slightly less. There is space above the 1.25 liter mark that will actually allow the reservoir to hold 48 ounces of water. Additionally, the carafe will easily hold 48 ounces of water. (But don't go any higher than that.)nally,

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

VERY IMPORTANT: Technivorm measures a """cup""" as only 4 ounces, while a measuring cup is 8 ounces. In other words, this model holds 40 ounces of water, no matter how many 'cups' you call it. A half batch is 20 ounces.

[@KaizenOz]

how many clicks do you think for a comandante? 1L and 1.25L brew

[@AlternativeBrewing]

25-30 👌
