Watch the video above for a step-by-step demonstration of how to use your BREW 1.
1. Choose 3-Cup or 6-Cup Brewing
The KITfanz BREW 1 can brew up to 6 cups, or approximately 300 ml of moka coffee.
For a 6-cup brew, fill the lower boiler to the 6-Cup mark.
For a 3-cup brew, place the Reducer Sieve inside the filter basket, fill the lower boiler to the 3-Cup mark, and select the 3-Cup setting.
Always keep the water level below the safety valve.
2. Add Your Coffee Grounds
For the best results, use a medium-fine coffee grind.
As a starting point:
- 3 cups: approximately 14 g of coffee
- 6 cups: approximately 25 g of coffee
Level the coffee grounds gently and evenly.
Do not tamp or compress the coffee grounds.
3. Choose Your Brew Temperature
BREW 1 gives you four temperature presets to match different roast levels and brewing preferences:
- 88°C / 190°F — Dark Roast
- 92°C / 197°F — Medium Roast
- 96°C / 204°F — Light Roast
- 100°C / 212°F — Fast Mode
Simply rotate the control knob to select your preferred temperature and cup size.
Then press the knob to start brewing.
4. Switch Between Celsius and Fahrenheit
Want to use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius?
When the appliance is powered off, press and hold the control knob for 5 seconds to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
5. Let BREW 1 Do the Work
Once brewing starts, the BREW 1 manages the heating process according to the selected brew program.
The built-in temperature control is designed to help create a more consistent brewing process without requiring you to manually control the heat.
When brewing is complete, the appliance automatically shuts off.
A Few Tips for Better Moka Coffee
The Temperature Setting Is Not the Final Coffee Temperature
The selected temperature does not represent the final temperature of the coffee in your cup.
The brew program controls the water chamber temperature and heating rate to estimate the average temperature of the water passing through the coffee grounds.
Actual results may vary depending on factors such as coffee dose, water volume, ambient temperature, and power supply voltage.
Great Moka Coffee Is All About Balance
A well-balanced moka coffee brings sweetness, acidity, and bitterness into harmony.
Your final flavor can also be influenced by:
- Coffee bean origin
- Roast level
- Coffee freshness
- Grind size
- Coffee dose
- Tamping pressure
For the best results, adjust one variable at a time until you find the flavor you enjoy most.
