FAQs

How much coffee grounds should I use per cup?

A general guideline is one tablespoon of medium-ground coffee per standard 5 oz cup. Adjust to your personal taste for stronger or weaker coffee.

Can I use paper filters with this machine?

While the machine comes with a reusable permanent filter, you can typically use standard cone-shaped paper filters (size #4 for most 10-cup machines) if you prefer, but always use it *within* the filter holder, not as a replacement for the reusable filter holder itself.

How long does the 'Keep Hot' function last?

The 'Keep Hot' function maintains the coffee temperature for approximately 30 minutes after brewing is complete.

What type of coffee grind is best?

For optimal results with a filter coffee machine, a medium grind is recommended. Grinds that are too fine can cause overflowing or bitter coffee, while grinds that are too coarse can result in weak coffee.

How often should I descale the machine?

Descaling is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water or use the machine daily. Regular descaling prevents mineral buildup and maintains brewing efficiency.

Can I brew just a single cup?

Yes, you can brew a single cup by adding the appropriate amount of water to the reservoir for one cup and the correct amount of coffee to the filter.

Troubleshooting

Coffee is not brewing or machine is not turning on.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and a working electrical outlet. Ensure the water reservoir has sufficient water. Check if the 'On' button has been pressed and the indicator light is on.

Coffee tastes weak or watery.

Ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio. The general recommendation is one tablespoon of ground coffee per cup of water. Also, check that the reusable filter is properly seated and not clogged, which could hinder proper water flow through the grounds. Use medium-fine ground coffee for optimal extraction.

Coffee overflows from the filter basket.

This usually indicates too much ground coffee or too fine a grind, which restricts water flow. Reduce the amount of coffee or use a slightly coarser grind. Also, ensure the filter basket and carafe are correctly positioned and that the anti-drip valve (if present) isn't blocked.

Machine is making unusual noises or brewing slowly.

Mineral buildup (scale) can affect performance. Perform a descaling cycle as outlined in the 'Care' section to clean the internal components. Ensure the water reservoir is filled correctly and there are no obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Consistently rich coffee flavor due to Aroma Blender
  • Environmentally friendly and cost-saving with reusable filter
  • Keeps coffee warm for a significant period (30 minutes)
  • Flexible brewing capacity for single servings or groups

Cons

  • Requires manual cleaning of reusable filter after each use
  • Coffee taste may degrade if left on Keep Hot function for too long
  • Brewing process is slower than single-serve capsule machines

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all protective materials are removed.
  2. Wash: Before first use, wash the reusable filter, filter holder, and glass carafe in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
  3. Position: Place the coffee machine on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface near a power outlet.
  4. Initial Run: Fill the water reservoir with cold water to the maximum level (without coffee) and run a full brewing cycle. Discard this water to clean the internal system.

Compatibility

This coffee machine is designed for standard household electrical outlets. It is compatible with ground coffee. Do not use whole beans (unless you grind them first) or instant coffee in the filter.

Care

  • Daily Cleaning: After each use, empty the coffee grounds from the reusable filter and rinse it under running water. Wash the carafe and filter holder with warm, soapy water.
  • Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
  • Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits can build up. Descape your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you live in a hard water area. Follow the descaling instructions provided in your full user manual, typically using a descaling solution or a vinegar-water mixture (check manual for ratios).
  • Storage: Ensure the machine is clean and dry before storing. Store in a cool, dry place.
