FAQs
What type of coffee should I use with this machine?
This machine is designed for use with ground coffee. Do not use whole coffee beans as it does not have a built-in grinder.
What is the capacity of the coffee machine?
The machine has a 1.2-liter capacity, which typically brews up to 10-12 cups of coffee depending on cup size.
Does it come with a timer or programmable start function?
Info needed: [Please check product manual for specific timer/programmable start function details.] This product description does not explicitly state a programmable timer function.
How do I clean the coffee machine?
After each use, clean the removable filter basket and glass carafe with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For descaling, use a commercial descaling solution or a vinegar-water mix every 3-6 months.
What does the 'aroma blender' feature do?
The aroma blender is an internal mechanism that circulates the brewed coffee within the carafe. This ensures that the coffee is consistently mixed, resulting in a richer, more uniform flavor in every cup poured.
Are paper filters required?
Yes, standard paper coffee filters are required for this machine. Info needed: [Specific filter size/type if applicable, e.g., 'size 4' paper filters].
Does the machine have an automatic shut-off?
While it has a 'keep warm function' to maintain coffee temperature, Info needed: [Please refer to the product manual for exact details on automatic shut-off duration and function to prevent coffee from burning or for safety reasons.].
Troubleshooting
Coffee is not brewing or machine won't turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the water reservoir has been filled above the minimum line. Verify that the filter basket and carafe are correctly positioned.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio; you may need to add more ground coffee for the amount of water used. Ensure you are using a medium-ground coffee suitable for filter machines. Check that the filter paper is correctly seated and not collapsed.
Coffee tastes too strong or bitter.
Reduce the amount of ground coffee used. Ensure the coffee grounds are not too fine, which can lead to over-extraction. Clean the machine to remove any old coffee residue or mineral buildup that might affect taste.
Coffee is not hot enough.
Confirm the keep warm function is active. Pre-heating the carafe with hot water before brewing can help maintain temperature. If the issue persists, the machine may require descaling as mineral buildup can reduce heating efficiency.
Water is leaking from the machine.
Check that the carafe is properly placed on the warming plate and is not chipped or cracked. Ensure the water reservoir is not overfilled beyond the maximum fill line. Inspect the filter basket for correct seating and ensure no coffee grounds are obstructing the flow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the box.
- First Clean: Before first use, wash the removable filter basket and glass carafe in warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Run one cycle with just water (no coffee or filter paper) to rinse the internal components.
- Placement: Place the coffee machine on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface, away from edges and heat sources.
Compatibility
- Coffee: This machine is designed for use with ground coffee. Do not use whole coffee beans as there is no grinder. The coarseness of the grind can affect flavor; a medium grind is generally recommended for filter coffee machines.
- Filters: Compatible with standard cone or basket-style paper coffee filters. Info needed: [Specific filter size/type if applicable, e.g., 'size 4' paper filters].
Care and Maintenance
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty the coffee grounds and rinse the removable filter basket and glass carafe with warm water. These parts are typically dishwasher-safe (top rack) but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
- Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits can build up, affecting performance. Descale your coffee machine every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you live in a hard water area. Use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for coffee machines, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be run through the machine, followed by several cycles of plain water to rinse thoroughly.
