CLEANING WITH VINEGAR
Mineral deposits left by hard water can clog your coeemaker. Cleaning is recommended once a
month. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle is a sign that a cleaning is needed.
1. Fill the water tank to about 1/3 full with white vinegar and then to the “Max” line with cold
water.
2. Place the travel mug on the mug rest.
3. Press the Power Button switch and let the cleaning solution brew through until the unit shuts
o automatically. Discard the solution.
4. Repeat the process using a new solution; do not reuse the first solution.
5. Use the mug to fill the reservoir with cold water and brew the plain water through to flush out
any remaining solution. You may have to repeat the plain water cycle to remove any remaining
vinegar taste
6. Wash and dry the permanent filter, filter holder and lid and mug as instructed in CLEANING
AND MAINTENANCE.
HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
1. Make sure to clean the coee maker as specified in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”
section. Always use fresh, cold water in the coee maker.
2. Store unused ground coee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of ground coee,
reseal it tightly and store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
3. For a better tasting coee, buy whole coee beans and finely grind them at home before
brewing.
4. Do not re-use coee grounds, this will greatly hinder the coee’s flavor. Reheating coee is
not recommended as coee is best consumed immediately after brewing.
5. Clean the coee maker when over-extraction causes oiliness. Small oil droplets on the surface
of brewed, black coee are due to the extraction of oil from the coee grounds.
6. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coees are used.
7. Coee that is poured during brewing cycle may vary in strength from the finished brew.
8. For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of hazelnut, chocolate
or almond liqueur. Use to top o each cup of coee.
9. Keep your coee maker scrupulously clean; you will be pleased with the flavor.
