Features and accessories

Technical features and accessories depend
on the coffee maker model. Please follow
the descriptions and illustrations on the
packaging of your appliance.

Before using for the first time

Before making coffee for the first time, let
the appliance go through two or three
filtration cycles using the indicated
maximum amount of cold water, but without
using ground coffee. This should also be
done if the appliance has not been used for
an extended period of time, and after
descaling.

General information

-

- The markings on the water reservoir
and/or on the jug help you to measure
the amount of water needed to prepare
the required number of cups of coffee. If
your appliance comes with a double
graduation scale, the one on the left-hand
side corresponds to medium-sized cups
with a capacity of approx. 125 ml, the one
on the right-hand side to smaller-sized
coffee cups. Take care not to exceed the
indicated maximum number of cups.

● Caution: the hot water outlet is

integrated in the water reservoir lid. Do
not attempt to open the lid while brewing
is in progress, as the hot water outlet will
be exposed: there is a danger of scalding.

● Always switch off and allow the coffee

maker to cool down for about 5 minutes
before it is switched don again.

● Warning! Be careful not to fill water into

the reservoir immediately after a brewing
cycle is complete as hot steam may
escape from the water nozzle.

To prepare filter coffee

-

Filling the water reservoir

Open the water reservoir lid and fill the
reservoir with the required amount of fresh
cold water.

-

Inserting the paper filter

Insert a size-4 paper filter, first folding down
the perforated sides of the filter.

-

Adding ground coffee

We recommend using fine ground filter
coffee, approximately 6 g = 1

1

/2- 2 tsp. per
medium-sized cup (125 ml). Close the
reservoir lid afterwards.

-

Preparing the jug

Place the jug lid or the drip-through lid onto
the jug. Fitted correctly, the lid will disable
the drip-stop mechanism in the filter during
the brewing cycle.

-

Starting the filtering process

Plug in the appliance and switch on. The
filtering process begins.

-

Removing the jug

When the filtering process is complete, i.e.

all water has run through the filter holder
into the jug, remove the jug to serve the
coffee.

-

Switching off the appliance

Once the filtering process is complete, switch
off the appliance and unplug from the mains
supply socket.

Coffee maker with hotplate:

The hotplate will keep remaining coffee
warm as long as you leave it switched on.
Switch the appliance off after use.

Coffee maker with drip-through lid

During the filtering process and while
pouring the coffee out, the drip-through lid
does not need to be removed and should
remain on the jug. To pour the coffee, press
the lever on the lid down to open it, when
the coffee may now pass out through the
spout.

Coffee maker with vacuum jug

-

For technical reasons the screw cap does
not close hermetically. Therefore always
hold the jug in an upright position.

-

A vacuum jug accumulates heat energy.
Therefore the jug should preferably be
filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only

partly filled, the temperature will not be
held as efficiently. If you rinse out the jug

with hot water before use, the coffee will
be kept warm for a longer time.

Vacuum jug with glass flask

The glass flask of the jug is made of high
quality double-walled glass with a vacuum
in-between for better insulation. Any marks
inside the jug looking like bubbles or
scratches do not affect its use nor its ability
to keep the temperature.

In case the glass is damaged for one or the
other reason as mentioned below, there is a
risk that the glass flask implodes. This might

happen quite some time after the glass flask
has actually been damaged.

● Therefore do not drink out of the jug and

do not put your hand into it. Always
close the jug with its screw cap. The
