LCD display will be used also for displaying and setting the starting time for the timer,
while “TIMER” is flashing on the LCD display.
Additionally, the descaling icon flashing on the LCD display could remind you that the
appliance needs descaling. At least at this point, you should perform the descaling
cycle as soon as possible (see: “Descaling”), because deposits of lime (scale) within
the water system of the appliance will disadvantageously influence the performance
and lifetime of the appliance as well as the taste of your coffee.
DRIP SPEED CONTROL
The drip speed control is a special highlight of the DESIGN BREW ADVANCED desi-
gned for controlling the taste of your coffee.
The maximum intake volume of the filter basket is 500 ml (0.5 litres, including water
and coffee powder). When filling only up to 400 - 450 ml of fresh water into the
water tank for operation (approx. 4 cups) getting a filling level somewhat below the
0.5 marking, you can freely select the dripping speed or even completely close the
drip stop valve without any concern. This way, you may get an even stronger coffee
with increasing bitterness.
With the drip speed control set to high dripping speed, the hot water will run through
the coffee powder even faster leading to a mild, more digestible low-acid coffee.
The special combination of drip speed control, manually operated drip stop valve,
and freely selectable type of coffee container enables you to get several cups of
coffee with differing taste by only one single brewing cycle. You can fill various jugs
and cups or mugs one after the other with a different dripping speed set for each one.
This way, it is possible to meet the individual taste of each member of your family or
guests. Just give it a try.
USING VARIOUS COFFEE CONTAINERS
When using the provided carafe, you will benefit from the specially designed cara-
fe lid. Even with the carafe filled up to the maximum, pouring is done easy without
dripping and splashing. If inserted correctly, the carafe lid will be engaged securely
on the carafe and will not fall during pouring. Additionally, the flavours and aroma
will be kept within the carafe as far as possible.
As the drip stop valve is operated manually, the appliance can be used in combinati-
on with any heat-resistant, suited container. Select a container (e.g. china jug, coffee
mug) of appropriate size to take the complete amount of water, you have filled into
the water tank and set up the appliance as usual. However, the opening on top of
the container must be sufficiently large to avoid splashing and overflow of the coffee
