Don’t Make These 2 Major Moccamaster Mistakes 👇

Tips from the CoffeeNose 👃 – WB.coffee / Amsterdam Coffee Lab

If you own a Moccamaster, you’re already halfway to great coffee.

It’s one of the best filter brewers ever designed — handmade in the Netherlands, built to last a lifetime, and beautifully consistent.

But here’s the catch: even the best coffee machine can’t save you from bad filters and stale supermarket coffee.

Let’s fix that.

⚠️ Mistake #1: Using cheap brown coffee filters

If you’ve been buying those cheap brown filters from your local supermarket, it’s time for a reality check.

They might look natural, but they impart a nasty wet newspaper flavor into your coffee and slow down extraction due to uneven thickness.

🧠 Why the pros use white filters

White filters (like our WB.coffee #4 oxygen-bleached filters) are:

  • Taste-neutral – no nasty papery aftertaste
  • Consistent in flow – steady, predictable extraction
  • Clean & sustainable – oxygen-bleaching is an eco-friendly process that leaves no residues

➡️ The result? A cleaner, more balanced cup where the coffee flavors shine through.

Curious to try them?

You can find our WB.coffee #4 filters white and oxygen-bleached  — perfectly sized for all Moccamaster KBG and KBGT models.

(They even fit through your mailbox, so no need to wait at home for delivery.)

⚠️ Mistake #2: Brewing with pre-ground supermarket coffee

The other big one.

Those pre-ground blends in tins or vacuum packs? They’re usually roasted dark, stored too long, and already lost their flavor and aroma before they reach your kitchen.

Coffee starts going stale within minutes after grinding — and once that happens, the result is flat, bitter, or dull.

👃 CoffeeNose advice:

Always use freshly roasted beans and grind them right before brewing.

A good burr grinder and a WB.coffee filter blend make an incredible difference in taste and aroma.

Here are some of my personal recommendations:

You’ll instantly notice a fuller aroma, cleaner sweetness, and far more satisfying flavor than anything from a supermarket shelf.

🌡️ Bonus Tip: KBGT upgrade

The Moccamaster KBG may win on color options, but if you care about flavor, go for the KBGT model.

It’s identical in performance but comes with a stainless-steel thermos instead of a glass carafe — which keeps your coffee hot without burning it on the plate.

That means better flavor, longer.

​Moccamaster KM5 Coffee Grinder​

handmade in the Netherlands
5 year guarantee

When Technivorm founder Gerard Clement Smit introduced his coffee grinder in 1965, it was revolutionary - one of the first electric coffee grinders for home use.

The Moccamaster KM5 Coffee Grinder continues this reputation of leading quality. Its precision technique allows you to grind your favorite coffee beans to an exact, uniform size.

In combination with your favorite Moccamaster coffee maker, you can now experience the real taste of coffee even better.

For the first time since its inception in 1965, the Moccamaster coffee grinder has been completely renewed. Strong, durable and iconic. These three pillars were central to the completely new design of the Moccamaster KM5. The new design is in the style of the iconic Moccamaster coffee makers and comes in three colors, matching every Moccamaster and every kitchen.

  • 50mm steel grinding discs. Durable steel grinding discs
    ensure a very accurate and uniform grinding. Built to last for years.


  • Direct drive motor. The powerful motor works quietly and efficiently, grinding 60 grams of coffee in less than 30 seconds.


  • A real jack-of-all-trades. With the rotary knob you can adjust the grinding discs steplessly, so that the grinder can also be used for other brewing methods.


  • No messing. The specially designed spout reduces the static charge of the ground coffee and thus ensures a cleaner grinding experience.

​


✔ Without doubt
As with our coffee makers, the coffee grinder has a 5-year warranty and is repairable for life.

✔ By the expert
Meets the strict requirements for grinding coffee of the CoffeeNose 👃.

✔ Green, as always
Made from sustainable materials from Europe to last a lifetime.

✔ Extremely strong
