before using for the first time
1 Fill the reservoir to the ;: mark, and run the appliance without coffee.
2 Let it cool, discard the water, then use it normally.
ground coffee
3 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you the best
results. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual taste. We suggest
starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee per cup.
storing coffee
4 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge. Exposure to air
oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate.
milk
5 There's a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. Our view is that personal
taste should rule, not convention. If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to
avoid overcooling the coffee. To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool
enough not to scald or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose
and sinuses, not just the taste buds.
bottled water
6 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc., and use
"still" water, not "sparkling". The carbon dioxide which gives the "sparkle" will adversely affect
the flavour of your coffee.
taste
7 Don't be tempted to reheat coffee in the appliance. You'll damage the appliance and the
coffee will be undrinkable.
8 Clean the filter holder and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew will spoil your
coffee.
preparation
9 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
10 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
11 Don't plug it in yet.
filling
12 Remove the carafe from the hotplate.
13 Use the grip to open the lid, and expose the reservoir.
14 Use the carafe to fill the reservoir, to avoid overfilling.
15 Press the lever at the rear of the carafe lid, above the handle, to open the carafe lid.
16 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the ;: mark.
17 Put filter-ground coffee into the filter. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and
individual taste, but we suggest two rounded teaspoons per cup of water.
18 Close the lid
19 Replace the carafe on the hotplate.
switch on
20 Put the plug into the power socket.
21 Move the switch to 1.
22 The light will come on.
23 Shortly afterwards, coffee will start to drip into the carafe.
24 When it's done, the hotplate will keep the carafe warm.
25 If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to affect the
flavour. It's best to pour it away and make a fresh pot.
