Handmade in the Netherlands Since 1968
Every material decision reflects decades of engineering refinement and real-world testing. Our choices are guided not by trends, but by a singular goal: brewing the best possible cup of coffee, every time.
Moccamaster is committed to using the best materials in our coffee brewers and grinders to ensure optimal performance and consistent coffee quality. Every material is intentionally selected based on how it contributes to the brewing process, not just how it looks.
Here’s why we use plastics in specific components of our brewers:
Safety First
All plastics that come into contact with coffee or water are food-safe and free from BPA, BPS, BPF, and phthalates. These high-quality materials are selected to ensure the safety and well-being of our customers, with alternatives continuously reviewed and evaluated.
Compliance with European Union Standards
Moccamaster strictly adheres to the European Union’s regulations for food-contact materials, including Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. All materials are tested to ensure they do not leach harmful substances, even under high temperatures, meeting rigorous safety and quality benchmarks.
Consistent Coffee Quality
Materials used in key brewing components are chosen to support consistent extraction. Compared to materials like glass or stainless steel, Moccamaster components retain less residual heat, helping maintain stable brewing conditions, especially when preparing multiple batches back-to-back.
Thermal Stability Where It Matters Most
In both manual and automatic brewing, controlling heat throughout the brew cycle is essential. Materials used in specific components are intentionally selected to avoid excessive heat retention or loss, helping maintain stable extraction conditions and repeatable results over time.
Durability and Functionality
Moccamaster components are engineered to be lightweight, durable, and highly functional. They resist damage in everyday use and are designed with practicality in mind. Additionally, these parts are cost-effective and easy to replace if lost or damaged.
Designed for Repair, Not Replacement
We design our brewers and grinders to last for decades, not years. Using modular, replaceable components allows customers to easily service and maintain their machines over time. This reduces waste, extends product lifespan, and supports long-term ownership.
Proper Care for Longevity
To extend the life of these components, we recommend washing them with warm, soapy water and avoiding the dishwasher. This helps preserve their integrity and ensures long-term performance.
Why We Use Virgin Plastics
We use virgin plastics in key components to ensure structural consistency, long-term durability, and full traceability of materials. This allows us to meet strict food safety standards while delivering reliable performance over the life of the product. All plastics used are BPA, BPS, phthalate, and BPF-free.
