TIPS
The Water ~ Your coffee is around 98-99% water so it's impor-
tant to ensure you use fresh filtered water. We recom-
mend using filtered water as it will reduce limescale and
prolong the use of your coffee maker.
The Coffee ~ This machine will optimize the flavor of medium
ground coffee, to deliver full body, aroma and taste. Be
sure before you buy that the coffee is suitable for a filter
machine. Or if you grind your own beans set the grinder
to medium coarseness. If the particles are too small,
water will pass through the filter too slowly resulting in
'over-extraction'; your coffee will taste bitter. If particles
are too large, water will pass through too quickly resul-
ting in ' under-extraction'; your coffee will taste weak and
watery.
The Measurements ~ To brew a perfectly balanced cup we re-
commend to use 1 measuring spoon of ground coffee per
cup. Use the measuring spoon provided to do this accu-
rately. Coffee will taste better when fresh so we recom-
mend drinking within 30 minutes of brewing, any longer
and taste begins to deteriorate.
The Maintenance ~ Use paper filters or a permanent filter ei-
ther type is suitable to produce great coffee. We recom-
mend that you rinse your permanent filter with water
after every use as any residual detergent could taint your
