• During a single brewing cycle, you may fill several cups or mugs directly. Hold
a sufficiently large number of suited containers at hand, before starting the appli-
ance. You can realize a different taste of coffee for each cup/mug by observing
the order of filling and setting a different drip speed for each cup or mug. Always
close the drip stop valve by sliding the drip speed control completely to the right
stop (position “Drip stop”), before exchanging the used container. With the next
container positioned correctly below the filter basket, slide the drip speed con-
trol to the desired drip speed. When performing this method, select a somewhat
higher dripping speed to ensure that the water accumulated in the filter basket
will run out before closing the drip stop valve again.
• Via the drip speed control you can influence the dripping speed and, therefore,
the extraction time. The maximum dripping speed depends on the grind size and
amount of coffee powder in the filter bag and the type of filter bag used.
• The grind size (coarse or fine) will affect the rate at which the water can flow
through the ground coffee in the filter basket. The taste of your coffee may differ
severely, when changing the grind size. If the grind is too fine, the water can
only flow very slowly, even when setting a high dripping speed. The result could
be dark and bitter. If the grind size is too coarse the coffee may be lacking in
taste, flavour and colour.
• Please keep in mind, that the DESIGN BREW ADVANCED will distribute the hot
water very quickly onto the coffee powder. To avoid overflow of the filter bag
leading to coffee powder in your coffee, you should check whether the selected
dripping speed is sufficiently high. For this, you may remove the filter cover shortly
to monitor the filling level within the filter basket. It is best to keep the filling level
in the filter bag 1 cm below the rim of the filter bag at the maximum. Adjust the
drip speed control accordingly and replace the filter cover.
• To keep the flavour of your coffee, you should not operate the appliance without
the filter cover. Additionally, with the filter cover inserted correctly, hot water can-
not splash from the filter basket during operation.
• It is best to grind coffee beans directly before brewing to maximise flavour. Buy
coffee beans (whole beans or pre-ground) in small batches to reduce the storage
time. You should prefer a medium to coarse grind size for the DESIGN BREW
ADVANCED, sufficient for drip coffee makers. Coffee beans are best consumed
between 5 - 20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date. Do not store pre-ground coffee
for more than 1 week.
• Store coffee beans or pre-ground coffee in a cool, dark, and dry container.
Vacuum seal, if possible.
