FAQs
What type of coffee should I use?
This machine is designed for use with pre-ground filter coffee. Avoid using espresso grind or whole beans unless you have a separate grinder.
How much coffee should I put in for a full pot?

Does it come with a reusable filter?
Info needed: Please refer to your product manual or packaging to confirm if a reusable filter is included or if disposable filter papers are required.
How do I clean the coffee machine?
After each use, wash the filter basket and carafe with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Regular descaling (see 'Care' section) is also important.
How long does the 'keep warm' function last?
Info needed: The duration of the 'keep warm' function varies by model. Please consult your user manual for specific details on the auto shut-off time.
Is the carafe dishwasher safe?
Info needed: Please check your product manual for specific cleaning instructions regarding the carafe, as dishwasher compatibility can vary.
Can I program the machine to start at a specific time?

Troubleshooting
Coffee is not brewing.
Ensure the machine is plugged in and the power button is pressed. Check if the water reservoir is filled and the filter basket is correctly inserted. If the issue persists, check your home's circuit breaker.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Increase the amount of ground coffee used for your desired strength. Ensure you are using the correct water-to-coffee ratio. Check that the filter paper is correctly positioned and not impeding water flow (if applicable).
Coffee is not staying hot.
Verify that the 'keep warm' function is active after brewing. Ensure the machine remains plugged in. If the carafe lid is not properly sealed, heat can escape, so check its placement.
Machine is leaking water.
Ensure the water reservoir lid is securely closed and that the carafe is properly placed on the warming plate. Check for any cracks in the carafe. Do not overfill the water reservoir beyond the 'MAX' line.
