1.  Prepare Your Filter  
Rinse your [filter](/content/us/eng/product/no-4-paper-filters-for-technivorm-moccamaster/index.html) before you begin brewing to clear any paper residue and ensure that all the water you use for brewing goes into your final cup without getting absorbed by the paper filter. After rinsing, gently pour the water out without dumping the filter.

2.  Grind Your Coffee  
For a half pot, grind 59 g of coffee to a medium-coarse grind and pour it into the filter. Shake it gently to settle, then place the cover on top of the filter.  
(For a full pot, use 98 g of coffee and 10 cups of water.)

3.  Add Water  
Add the amount of water for your dose to the tank and put the lid on the tank.

4.  Select Your Batch Size  
For a 6-cup dose, use the half batch selection. For a 10-cup dose, brew using the full batch selection. Ensure the glass carafe is on the hot plate and turn on the power switch.

5.  Enjoy  
After 4–6 minutes, you’ll have a pot of hot coffee to enjoy.
