Efficient Brewing for High-Volume Coffee Service

Busy coffee environments demand reliability, speed, and quality. The Moccamaster CDT Grand simplifies batch brewing with its automated temperature control, optimal extraction process, and insulated stainless steel carafe. Unlike hotplate-based brewers that degrade coffee over time, the CDT Grand keeps each batch fresh and flavourful without overheating.

How the Moccamaster CDT Grand Works

• Fast brewing: Brews 1.8L (approx. 15 cups) in 6–7 minutes.
• Precise temperature control: Copper boiling element maintains 92–96°C.
• Flat-bottom brew basket: Ensures full saturation for balanced extraction.
• 9-hole spray arm: Evenly distributes hot water over coffee grounds.
• Stainless steel thermal carafe: Keeps coffee hot for over an hour without a hotplate.
• Auto shut-off: Powers down when the water reservoir is empty.

How to Brew with the Moccamaster CDT Grand

• Ensure the machine is switched OFF.
• Fill the water reservoir with 1.8L of cold, fresh water.
• Insert a 110mm flat-bottom filter into the brew basket.
• Add 90–105g of medium-coarse ground coffee.
• Place the stainless steel thermal carafe under the brew basket.
• Turn the power switch ON—the brew cycle will begin automatically.
• Once finished, remove the carafe and secure the lid to retain heat.

Golden Cup Brewing: The Four T’s

• Temperature: Maintains the ideal 92–96°C brewing range.
• Time: 4–6 minutes ensures balanced flavour extraction.
• Turbulence: Pulse brewing evenly saturates coffee grounds.
• Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): Extracts 18–22% for optimal flavour.

Brewing Essentials for Best Results

• Grind size: Use medium to medium-coarse for proper extraction.
• Filter type: Oxygen-whitened 110mm paper filters for clean taste.
• Water quality: Use fresh, filtered, or bottled water. Avoid distilled or RO water.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Descale every 100 brew cycles: Use a Moccamaster-approved descaler.
• Rinse the carafe: Wash with warm water and detergent after each use.
• Filter holder maintenance: Clean weekly to prevent coffee oil buildup.
• Exterior care: Wipe the machine’s aluminium housing with a damp cloth.

Why Descaling is Essential

Over time, minerals in water accumulate inside the Moccamaster’s boiling element, leading to scale buildup. This can slow water flow, lower brew temperature, and cause machine failure. Regular descaling prevents performance issues and ensures consistently great coffee.

• Only use Moccamaster-approved descaler.
• Avoid vinegar: It doesn’t effectively remove scale and can leave odours.

Common Issues & Troubleshooting

• Why does my coffee taste weak or bitter?
  Adjust grind size and coffee dosage to match the recommended 60g per litre ratio.
• Why is the filter holder overflowing?
  Check the drip-stop setting and ensure coffee grounds aren’t too fine.
• Brew cycle taking longer than usual?
  The machine likely needs descaling—follow the instructions.
• Water dripping slowly?
  Scale buildup may be restricting flow—descale the unit.
• Why is the glass tube in the water reservoir cloudy?
  Indicates mineral buildup—descale the machine.
