You can easily learn how to prepare a good coffee. In this chapter you will find some hints for
this purpose. Generally, coffee is the best and freshest shortly after brewing.
Tip: Choose the taste of your coffee according to your own particular liking. The coffee brand
and the way of grinding the coffee (fine or coarse) are essential for the results. Just give it a
try! Store your coffee (powder or whole beans) in a closely shut container on a cool, dry place.
However, it is better not to place the coffee in the refrigerator or the freezer compartment. You
may buy grinded coffee. In this case, you should consume the coffee within a week, because
the flavour will evaporate gradually. The way of grinding (fine or coarse) will affect the brewing
time, and as a result, the quality of your coffee. However, make sure that the
coffee powder is suitable for drip coffeemakers.
We recommend buying coffee beans and grinding your coffee just before use. Coffee beans
should not be stored for more than 1 month.
Experiment with the amount of coffee in order to adjust the flavour to your taste. Start with the
coffee/water ratio you normally use for preparing coffee. If you prefer strong coffee, we recom-
mend using one level measuring scoop for each cup (ca. 100 – 150 ml) or 10 level measuring
scoops per full pot of coffee, but never use more than 12 level measuring scoops of
coffee powder.
The amount of brewed coffee will be a little less than the water filled in the water reservoir since
some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter bag.
Care anD CLeaning
warning: Cover, filter basket, glass carafe, and warming plate will get very hot
during operation.
Additionally, hot water and steam can pour out during operation. Always unplug the
appliance and allow the machine to cool down before moving or cleaning the appliance.
Additionally, empty the water reservoir before transportation or storage.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher! Do not immerse
the appliance or power cord in any liquids. Do not pour any liquids over the appliance
or the power cord.
Do not use aggressive chemicals (bleach, desinfectant, decalcifier), abrasive cleansers or
hard or sharp objects on any part of your coffeemaker.
Do not use violence to avoid damage. Especially the Pause & Serve mechanism of the
filter basket and the hinges of the covers of water reservoir and glass carafe are sensitive
to careless handling. Do not poke in the water reservoir.
warning:
DO NOT clean the warming plate unless it is completely cool. DO NOT use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads.
An authorized service representative should perform any other servicing.
To clean the inside of the reservoir cover, open the one-piece cover, allowing it to rest in
the open position. Wipe surface with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or
scouring pads.
