Moccamaster models

Engineering principles

Technivorm Moccamaster follows these engineering principles for their coffee makers:

• Brew temperature 92-96C
• Saturation time 4 to 6 minutes
• Keep warm at 80-85C for 40-100 min
• Water float for contained heating operation
• Thermostat at 145C and thermo-fuse at 260C for protection
• Cleanability
• Longevity
• Reliability
• Warranty

• Model names with an "S" at the end, i.e. "AUTOMATIC S", means indicator for descaling
• There are no "T" / thermo models with AO/AUTOFF since there is no hotplate and the float switch will turn off the system entirely
