Moccamaster — Filter Coffee Makers
Moccamaster Select 1.25L
Hand-built in the Netherlands. SCA Gold Cup approved. A perfect carafe in under six minutes.
The Moccamaster Select is the filter coffee maker serious home brewers reach for when they want café-quality batch brew without the fuss. Hand-built in the Netherlands and certified by both the ECBC and the SCA to Gold Cup standard, the Select brews a full 1.25-litre carafe in just 5–6 minutes — holding water at the ideal 92–96°C extraction window the entire time.
What sets the Select apart is its dual copper boiling element with a manual size switch, letting you brew a smaller or larger batch without sacrificing temperature stability or extraction quality. Paired with the iconic 9-hole spray arm for even saturation and a mixing-lid carafe for a homogenous pour, every cup is consistent, balanced and clean. It's the considered, build-to-last alternative to disposable drip machines — and it looks the part on any benchtop.

Why It Brews So Well
Engineered For The Perfect Extraction
Every detail of the Moccamaster Select is built around one goal: extracting coffee at the right temperature, evenly, every single time. That's what earns it Gold Cup certification — and what makes the difference in your cup.
🌡️
Precise Brew Temperature
The copper heating element holds water at the ideal 92–96°C throughout the brew cycle — the temperature range the SCA defines for optimal extraction.
🔁
Dual Copper Element + Size Switch
A manual switch lets you brew a smaller or larger quantity without compromising temperature or strength — ideal whether it's one cup or a full carafe.
💧
9-Hole Spray Arm
Distributes water evenly across the coffee bed for complete, uniform saturation — no dry pockets, no channeling, just balanced extraction.
🥄
Mixing-Lid Carafe
The carafe's mixing lid blends the brew as it drips, so the first cup tastes the same as the last — a homogenous, consistent pour every time.
🔥
Auto Hot Plate
Keeps your coffee at serving temperature, then switches off automatically after 40 minutes. Flick it back on for another cycle whenever you need it.
🛑
Auto Drip-Stop & Safety Shut-Off
The filter holder's automatic drip stop prevents spills mid-pour, and the element shuts off power automatically when the reservoir runs dry.

Who It's For
Built For Everyday Great Coffee
The household batch brewer. If two or more of you drink filter coffee through the morning, the 1.25L carafe and fast brew time mean everyone gets a fresh, hot cup without queuing at an espresso machine.
The specialty coffee drinker. Gold Cup certification isn't marketing — it's a guarantee of correct brew temperature and extraction. Pair the Select with fresh single origin beans and a good grind, and you'll taste clarity and sweetness most drip machines simply can't deliver.
The set-and-forget brewer. No apps, no programming, no guesswork. Add water, add ground coffee, flick the switch — and the Select does the rest, every time. The auto hot plate and drip-stop make it genuinely hands-off.
The gift-giver. Few coffee gifts feel as considered as a Moccamaster. It's a design icon, built to last, and arrives ready to brew with 100 filters in the box.
Getting Started
Brew Your First Carafe
1. Fill the reservoir. Add fresh cold water to your desired level — use the small/large element switch to match your batch size.
2. Add a #4 filter and ground coffee. A medium-coarse filter grind works best. As a starting ratio, use around 60g of coffee per litre of water and adjust to taste.
3. Switch on. The Select heats the water and feeds it through the 9-hole spray arm automatically — a full carafe takes just 5–6 minutes.
4. Let the carafe mix. The mixing lid blends the brew as it drips, so there's no need to stir. Pour and enjoy.
5. Keep it warm — or not. The hot plate holds serving temperature and switches off after 40 minutes. For the cleanest flavour, decant and serve fresh.
