HINTS FOR GREAT-TASTING COFFEE
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting
coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as specified in
the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section. Always
use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After
opening a package of coffee powder, reseal it tightly and
store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and
finely grind them just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce
the coffee’ flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as
coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
5. Clean the coffee maker when over-extraction causes
oiliness. Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black
coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee
powder.
6. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted
coffees are used.
1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot sudsy
water.
2. Wipe the exterior surface of unit with a soft, damp cloth to
remove stains.
3. Water droplets may buildup in the above area of the funnel
and drip onto the product base during brewing. To control the
dripping, wipe off the area with a clean, dry cloth after each
use.
4. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never
use abrasive cleaner to clean it.
5. Replace all parts and keep for next use.
