The Semi-Manual System
A complete system for upgrading a Moccamaster to eliminate brewing plastics and increase coffee control.
The Moccamaster coffeemaker has been hand made by the company Technivorm in the Netherlands since 1968. In a world of disposable plastic appliances designed to be replaced within a few years—the Moccamaster is designed to last.
It’s widely known for making great coffee—and because of the modular design, parts can be easily swapped, repaired…and modified.
The “Semi-Manual System” is an upgrade for the Moccamaster that allows you to eliminate the stock dripper and carafe and instead create a “semi-manual” coffee system: automatic when you want to be hands off, access to the process when you want to be hands on—with less plastic involved.
The Semi-Manual Bracket can hold many different pour-over drippers, but we are focused on the size 03 Hario v60—which allows you to brew a full 1.2 L pot. The Japanese company Hario has been a coffee industry standard for decades: the performance of the v60 will exceed that of the stock dripper—and without lingering coffee oils or microplastic concerns.
The Semi-Manual system gives you more control your brew to get better coffee bed saturation: you can rotate the dripper on the cork ring and the open top allows for stirring the coffee slurry. The stock Moccamaster lid will fit the v60 as well.
The corked carafe allows you to trap the coffee’s heat when you’re done brewing, and bring some beauty to the breakfast table.
The Semi-Manual System parts:
The Bracket - a powder-coated bent steel bracket that allows you to use a wide array of pour-over drippers.
The Dripper - a size 03 glass Hario v60 and a custom cork adapter
The Carafe - A custom-designed borosilicate glass pitcher with a cork lid that eliminates the stock plastic funnel and handle, while offering a more sophisticated aesthetic. The carafe also works with our accessories for the Slow System.

A complete system for upgrading a Moccamaster to eliminate brewing plastics and increase coffee control.
The “Semi-Manual System” is an upgrade for the Technivorm Moccamaster KBGV/KGBT/KBT that allows you to eliminate the stock plastic brewing parts yet still brew a full 1.2 L batch. The performance matches that of the stock dripper—it will make delicious coffee—but without lingering coffee oils or risk of microplastics. The system also gives you more control over the brewing process by making it easy to rotate the dripper or stir the slurry for more even saturation. The corked carafe allows you to trap the heat when you’re done brewing, and bring some beauty to the breakfast table. Read more about the system here.

Removal of the current Moccamaster dripper requires a Torx screw driver and a few minutes of your time (see video below)
