FAQs
What type of coffee grind should I use?
For best results, use a medium-fine to fine coffee grind, similar to table salt. Avoid using espresso-fine grinds, as they can clog the filter and affect brewing.
Can I put this coffee maker in the dishwasher?
It is not recommended to put the IBILI Bahia coffee maker in the dishwasher. Handwashing with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth is the best way to maintain its finish and longevity.
How do I know when the coffee is ready?
You will hear a gurgling sound as the coffee brews. Once the gurgling stops and the upper chamber is mostly filled with coffee, remove the coffee maker from the heat source immediately to prevent burning.
How often should I replace the gasket?
The rubber gasket should be inspected periodically. If it appears cracked, hardened, or deformed, it should be replaced to ensure a proper seal and safe operation. Typically, this might be needed every 1-2 years depending on usage.
What is the warranty for this product?
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Can I use this on an induction cooktop?
No, this IBILI Bahia coffee maker is not suitable for induction cooktops. It is designed for vitro, electric, and gas stoves only.
Troubleshooting
Coffee maker is not producing coffee.
Ensure the coffee maker is on a compatible stovetop and receiving adequate heat. Check that the top chamber is screwed on tightly to create a proper seal. Make sure the water level is above the safety valve and the filter basket is not overfilled or tamped too tightly.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Use a finer coffee grind. Ensure you are not overfilling the water chamber or underfilling the coffee grounds. Check that the gasket and filter are clean and creating a tight seal.
Coffee maker is leaking from the seal.
Ensure the top chamber is screwed on very tightly. Inspect the rubber gasket for any damage or debris and clean it. If the gasket is worn, it may need to be replaced.
Coffee has a metallic taste.
Ensure the coffee maker has been thoroughly washed before its first use. Avoid using harsh detergents for cleaning. Rinse thoroughly after washing.
