What you need
- Moccamaster coffee brewer
- Filter papers (#4 size)
- Scales
Recipe
Makes ~1.25L
Coffee: 75g
Water: 1.25L
Total brew time: ~5–6 minutes
Grind: medium–coarse
Steps
- Pour 1.25L of fresh water into the water reservoir.
- Fold the filter paper along each seam, open it and place it into the filter basket along with your freshly ground coffee,
- Set the filter basket to open (the setting marked ‘O’). Turn the brewer on.
- Once all the water has dripped through, give the carafe a gentle swirl to mix, and then pour to enjoy!
Tips!
For large brews (750ml - 1L), the grind size should be a bit coarser than for a pour over and finer than a plunger.
If you’re making a large batch (i.e. 1L coffee), it can help to stir the coffee in the filter basket - once the coffee is covered with the water, give the slurry a light stir to make sure all the grounds are wet. This will help the coffee extract evenly.
If you want to make less coffee, simply use the ratio of 60g coffee to 1L of water (i.e. to around 2 cups, use 500g water and 30g coffee)
