General information
¡ Observe the water level indicator on the
water tank. Fill the water tank to at least
the bottom marking line and no more
than the top marking line.
¡ To attain an adequate coffee temperat-
ure and the full aroma, do not brew less
than 3 cups of coffee. A cup is approx.
125 ml.
¡ Add approx. 6 g medium-ground coffee
for each cup.
¡ Store ground coffee in a cool place or
freeze.
¡ Once a pack of coffee has been opened,
always close it tightly to preserve the
aroma.
¡ How coffee beans are roasted affects
their flavour and aroma.
– Darker roast = more flavour
