Hey guys! Candice from Crema Coffee
Garage here and today we're going to be
checking out the Moccamaster Thermal
Coffee Brewer from Technivorm. So, just
before we get started, I want to remind
you guys to subscribe to our YouTube
channel and don't forget to hit the
notification bell and then that way you
can stay up to date on all new videos
that we release. So let's jump into it.
The thermal Moccamster is an automatic
coffee brewer, that produces delicious
pour-over style coffee both quickly and
easily. So I'm actually gonna start
brewing a batch of this coffee that
should be ready by the time we hit the
end of the video. Let's break down what
went into the starting of this process.
So, starting on the side here you have
your 1.25 litre or your 10 cup water
tank. Now, do keep in mind that Technivorm
is an European company. The Netherlands to
be precise, where their cup sizes are 4
ounce in size. We filled it up to the 10
cup mark but you can make smaller
batches as well.
Now at Crema we always recommend to use
filtered water, if you can get your hands
on it. This reduces the build-up of lime
scale and therefore aids in the
longevity of your machine. Now, speaking
of that longevity, Technivorm provides a
whopping 5 year warranty on this product.
Made with bpa-free plastic and parts
that are designed to be easily removed
and replace when need be, ensures the
reliability of your brewer for years to
come. The Moccamaster begins the brewing
with that simple flick of the single
switch. Drawing the water through the
nine-hole stainless-steel showerhead,
creating optimum water dispersion over
your ground coffee and therefore a more
even and full-bodied extraction. A
great bonus is the ability to be able to
easily remove that showerhead and that's
perfect for cleaning, and not all brewers
out there do offer that. Before reaching
the showerhead, the water is heated and
controlled by the high quality copper
boiling element. It's certified by the
Specialty Coffee Association and the
Moccamaster heats to a perfect brewing
temperature of between 92 degrees and 96
degrees Celsius,
and then it maintains that throughout
the entire brew and this ensures the
highest quality but also a maximum
flavor in the extraction. Moving over to
the cone filter basket, it's been fitted
with a cone paper filter, number four to
be precise, but there are more permanent
options out there if you would rather
that. So, we recommend pre-wetting your
paper filter before adding your coffee,
so as to wash away any residual paper
fibers but also to help stick your
filter to the basket. So, the coffee I'm
using today is the first release for
2020 from our own Crema"s Trekker Single
Origin coffee bean subscription. So the
trek explorers coffee from the bean belt
that circles the globe. Starting in the
Americas, then moving on to Africa and
finishing in Asia. So this beauty is from
Nicaragua. Which will be delicious, as
single origins by nature are fantastic
for alternate brewing styles such as
this,
due to their really clean but also their
rich flavor notes, but you can click the
link in the description below to learn
more about the many flexible
subscriptions that we have at Crema.
Which do include delivery to anywhere in
Australia. So for this particular batch
we have added 65 grams of a medium to
coarse grind. In the manual you may find
it recommends a slightly different
recipe but coffee is a matter of
personal taste and preference. So we've
done our own tweaking and tasting and we
recommend you to do the same but this is
a good recipe to start with. So you'll
notice at the bottom of the brew basket
you have a valve switch, which has three
options. You have fully open, half open
and closed. So depending on the size of
your batch will depict whether you have
it fully or half open. Now I'm doing
fully open for this size but for a 2 to
5 cup batch you probably want to look at
putting it on half, and by doing this it
slows down the water flow, in those
smaller batches, and therefore ensures
that the coffee grounds are not flooded
by the water. Which could result in that
under extraction of your brew. Closed is on
offer for anyone wanting to stop the
water flow mid brewing. Now the reason
you may want to do this is if you want
to sneak a cup before it finishes the
brewing but it's also convenient for
when the brewing is finished and you
need to remove the basket for cleaning.
As a side note on cleaning, just a good
hot soapy wash is all that's needed for
the brew basket. Moving down to the
thermal carafe, which is built to retain
the heat of your coffee for long periods
of time. Perfect for an office or a busy
home, where people are coming and going
throughout the morning but they still
want to have a hot cup of coffee on hand.
The carafe has two different types of
lids, a brewing lid and a transport lid.
So the brewing lid has what's described
as a mixing tube attached. This is to
ensure a homogenous brew but you can
also pour coffee without having to open
the lid. However, if you're wanting that
maximum heat retention, you can use the
transport lid. You just have to make sure
you unscrew to pour out the coffee. So we
come back full circle to just flicking
on the power switch and that's how you
get it started. Now, I went into the very
specifics of this brewer but at its
core it is very user friendly and it's a
classic coffee brewer. No longer than
five to six minutes and we have our
delicious hot batch of brew coffee. So
that's a wrap on the Moccamaster Thermal
from Technivorm. Jump onto our website
cremacoffeegarage.com.au to shop
this guy. On the website you'll find many
fantastic products, including the 
Moccamaster Classic Coffee Brewer. Now it has
a glass carafe as opposed to the thermal,
but it also comes with a warming plate
to keep your coffee warm once brewed.
Another fantastic brewer, it just simply
depends on your aesthetic personal
preference as to which one you choose. So,
