coffee
Use medium-ground filter coffee. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and
individual taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons per cup.
bottled water
If you use bottled water, check it has no added ingredients or flavourings. Use flat
water, not sparkling. The carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will adversely affect
the flavour of your coffee.
milk
If you take milk, use warm milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. For maximum flavour,
coffee should be cool enough not to scald or burn, but hot enough for the flavour to fill
the mouth, sinuses and nose.
taste
Don’t be tempted to pass old coffee through the machine. You’ll damage the machine
and the coffee will be undrinkable.
Clean the filter holder, basket and carafe, after each use, any taint from a previous
brewing will spoil your coffee.
position
1 Sit the coffee maker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a wall socket and
out of reach of children.
2 Don’t plug it in yet.
before using for the first time
Fill the water tank to the max mark with water, then run the machine without coffee.
Discard the hot water and clean the machine.

3 Use the grip to open the lid.
4 Use the carafe to fill the water tank with as much water as you need, but don’t fill
past the max mark. The scale on the water level window is marked in coffee cups,
e.g. 2 = 2 coffee cups.
5 Don’t fill the water tank with less then 2 cups of water.
6 Don’t fill past the max mark. If you overfill the coffee maker, water will drip out of
the overflow and on to the work surface – not a good idea.
nb The amount of brewed coffee will be less then the amount of water placed in the
water tank, as about 10% of the water is absorbed by the coffee grounds.
7 Put the carafe on the hotplate.

11 Push the lid down to close it.
