The CDT Grand’s 60-ounce capacity makes it perfect for small offices, cafés, and home entertaining. We use a flat-bottom brew basket to achieve this volume, and we recommend always brewing the full amount to achieve the best results. Our double-walled, stainless steel thermal carafe will keep coffee hot for up to an hour – or even longer with the included Travel Lid. How it works: Brewing on your CDT Grand 1. Fast Brewing Time Simple to use with a quiet brew process, the CDT Grand makes a full carafe of coffee in 6-7 minutes. 2. Consistent Temperature The copper boiling element rapidly heats water to a brewing temperature of 196°F - 205°F and automatically shuts off when the water reservoir is empty. 3. Precise Engineering The boiling action moves the water up the glass tube, where it flows into the outlet arm and pulses over the brew basket, blooming the coffee grounds in a manual pour-over coffee style. 4. OPTIMIZED COFFEE EXTRACTION The flat-bottom brew basket steeps the coffee grounds, extracting the coffee's full flavor and maximizing its complexity, taste, and aroma. 5. THERMAL CARAFE The stainless steel carafe maintains coffee quality, integrity, and taste for up to an hour. Every thermal carafe comes with a Brew-Thru Lid and Travel Lid. Golden Cup Standard: The Four T’s What makes good coffee so good? It comes down to the coffee solubles extracted into your water. The coffee industry has defined scientific benchmarks for perfectly brewed coffee, called the Four T's. Temperature A consistent brewing temperature between 196°F - 205°F is essential for the extraction of coffee solubles. Time A saturation time of 4 - 6 minutes releases the full flavor of the coffee without over- or under-extracting it. Turbulence Agitation of the coffee grounds generated as the water flows through the grounds creates even saturation. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) This is the ratio of coffee solubles to water that the brewer extracts. The ECBC defines ideal TDS yield as between 18% - 22%, and the SCA refers to this as “the Golden Cup.” Moccamaster coffee brewers hit this mark every brew cycle.
