Advice for the best coffee taste
1.
It is important to use a clean coffee machine to ensure the very best taste. Clean out the
coffee machine regularly as indicated in the "Cleaning and maintenance" section. Always
use fresh, cold water in the coffee machine.
2.
Store any unopened packets of coffee in a cool, dry place. After having opened a packet
of ground coffee, seal it and store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
3.
For the best taste, buy whole coffee beans and grind them finely just before use.
4.
Never reuse ground coffee, this will reduce the coffee flavour considerably. We advise
you not to reheat coffee, it tastes the best straight after brewing.
5.
Clean out the coffee machine when over-extraction causes fatty deposits. The presence
of small fatty deposits on the surface of black coffee can be caused by the leaching of
oil from the coffee grounds.
6.
There may be more fatty deposits present if you use dark roasted coffee grounds.

Cleaning
Unplug the coffee machine from the mains outlet
•
and allow to cool before cleaning.
Never immerse the appliance, power cord or plug
•
in water or any other liquid.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads for cleaning to avoid damaging the coating.
•
Open the lid and remove the filter holder. Dispose of the paper filter and coffee grounds
or just the coffee grounds if you are using the permanent filter.
•
Clean the detachable parts of the coffee machine (jug, fixed filter, filter holder, measuring
spoon) using hot soapy water. Be gentle with the permanent filter. Rinse with clean water
and dry carefully.
•
You can wipe down the outer and inner surfaces (including the hotplate) with a lightly
moistened sponge or soft cloth.
Descaling
•
If the coffee machine switches off before the end of the cycle, it probably has scale.
•
We recommend that you descale your appliance regularly to keep it in good condition.
•
How often descaling is required depends on how hard the water is and how often the
appliance is used. If used daily, we recommend descaling your coffee machine once
every two months.
•
You can use a special 'coffee machine' descaling liquid or powder sold in shops. When
you do so, make sure you follow the descaler manufacturer's instructions.
•
You can also use white vinegar to descale your coffee machine. Fill up the coffee machine
container with a half-and-half mixture of white vinegar and water, then switch it on.
•
Afterwards, run the coffee machine 2 or 3 times without coffee to thoroughly rinse it
through. Pour away the hot water collected into a sink.
