The Russell Hobbs Apollo 1.8L Digital Filter Coffee Maker, Model No. 18593, is designed for domestic use, offering a convenient way to brew ground coffee. This appliance features a 1.8L capacity, capable of making up to 12 cups of coffee, making it suitable for households. Its primary function is to brew coffee using ground coffee powder and keep it warm for a limited period.
The coffee maker operates by heating water in its reservoir, which then drips through ground coffee held in a removable permanent filter, extracting the coffee flavor into a glass carafe. The brewing process is initiated by pressing the AUTO button once, which illuminates in blue to indicate operation. A notable feature is the automatic pause and anti-drip system, which allows users to remove the glass carafe for serving even while the machine is still brewing, preventing drips onto the warming hot plate. The drip-stop mechanism closes when the carafe is removed, and reopens when the carafe is placed back, provided its lid is properly attached.
The appliance includes a convenient 24-hour preset delay function, allowing users to program the coffee maker to start brewing at a desired time within a 24-hour window. To activate this, the MODE button is pressed twice, followed by adjusting the HOUR and MIN buttons to set the preferred start time. Once set, pressing the AUTO button twice will engage the preset delay, indicated by a green light. The machine will then automatically begin brewing at the programmed time, with the light turning blue during the brewing process. If the user wishes to start brewing sooner than the preset time, pressing the AUTO button twice will override the delay and initiate immediate brewing.
After brewing, a hot plate keeps the coffee warm for a maximum of 40 minutes. This keep-warm period is an integrated safety and energy-saving feature, after which the appliance automatically turns off. Users can manually turn off the appliance before the auto shutoff by pressing the AUTO button three times, or twice if the preset delay function is active.
The coffee maker is designed for ease of use with several user-friendly features. It has a visible water level indicator on the water tank, allowing users to easily monitor and fill the reservoir to the desired level, up to the MAX mark. The glass carafe itself can be used as a 'jug' for filling the water reservoir. The filter holder is removable, and it includes a permanent filter, eliminating the need for disposable paper filters. This permanent filter can be filled with ground coffee powder, with a general guideline of one level spoon per cup, adjustable to individual preferences. The filter holder and permanent filter are designed to be easily inserted and seated back into the machine.
The digital display shows the current time, which can be set using the MODE, HOUR, and MIN buttons. The "CLOCK" indicator appears during time setting and disappears once the time is saved. Similarly, when setting a delayed start time, "TIMER" appears on the display. The appliance is intended for brewing only ground coffee.
For safety, the lid of the water reservoir should not be opened during the brewing process, as hot water flowback could cause damage. The glass carafe lid should be kept closed when pouring to maintain coffee warmth and for safety. It is recommended not to remove the glass carafe from the warming hot plate for more than 30 seconds to prevent the filter from overflowing, especially if there is still water in the reservoir.
Maintaining the Russell Hobbs Apollo coffee maker involves regular cleaning and occasional descaling to ensure optimal performance and longevity. All parts that come into contact with coffee, such as the glass carafe, filter holder, and permanent filter, should be cleaned by rinsing them in warm, soapy water after each use. A soft brush can be used for thorough cleaning. It is crucial to ensure all parts are dry before storing the appliance. The exterior of the appliance can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth, without any additives, and care should be taken not to let water enter the appliance or its stand. Spilled coffee grounds should be removed from the inner casing with a paper towel and then wiped with a damp cloth.
The appliance should never be immersed in water or any other liquid for cleaning. Abrasive items, wire brushes, bleach, acidic or abrasive detergents, or solvents should not be used, as they can damage the finish.
Descaling is an important maintenance task to address mineral and limescale deposits that build up over time, which can affect brewing time and cause excessive steaming. The frequency of descaling depends on the hardness of the water used. For soft (filtered) water, descaling is suggested every 80 brew cycles, while for hard (tap) water, it's recommended every 40 brew cycles. Only commercially available appliance descalers should be used, following their specific instructions. After descaling, it is advised to run the machine two or three times with plain cold water (without coffee grounds) to rinse out any descaling agent residues. The water used during the descaling process should not be consumed.
Before cleaning or when not in use, the appliance should always be unplugged from the electrical outlet and allowed to cool down. The unit is not user-serviceable, and any technical problems or repairs should be handled by an authorized service facility, insisting on original spare parts.
