Caution:The Café 3 in 1 coffee
maker becomes very hot during the
Drip filter brewing cycle. Please
handle with extreme care.
•
The hot plate will keep the Drip Filter
coffee in the large carafe hot whilst
the Drip Filter function of the coffee
maker is switched on.
•
Always switch the Drip Filter function
of coffee maker off by pressing the
Filtered Coffee button to ‘STANDBY’
when the carafe is empty or when you
no longer want to keep the coffee hot,
switch off at the power outlet and
remove the power plug.
Note: If you wish to brew another carafe of coffee
immediately, press the Filtered Coffee button to
‘STANDBY’, switch off at the power outlet and unplug,
clean the carafe and the mesh filter basket, then
follow the steps under ‘How to make Drip Filter Coffee’.
BREWING TEA
The Filtered Coffee function of the coffee
maker can be used for brewing tea if desired.
It is advisable to thoroughly clean any
coffee residue from the mesh filter basket
and Drip filter basket holder before
brewing tea and vice versa.
Simply place 4-6 teabags or teaspoons of tea
in the mesh filter basket and follow the same
procedure as for making Drip filter coffee.
COFFEE MAKING TIPS
Coffee strength and flavour is an individual
preference. It is suggested to experiment
with different brands, flavours and
amounts of coffee for all functions of the
Café 3 in 1 coffee maker.
The Coffee
•
Pre-ground coffee will only retain its
flavour for 1 week, provided it is
stored in an air tight container, in a
cool, dark area.
•
Whole coffee beans are recommended
and should be ground just before use.
•
Coffee beans stored in an airtight
container will keep up to 1 month
before they begin to lose their flavour.
•
Do not store in a refrigerator or
freezer.
The Grind
•
For making espresso the coffee grind
must be very fine, but not too fine
(slightly finer than table salt).
•
For making drip filter coffee the coffee
grind must be fine (individual grains
visible).
•
Suitable grinds of coffee can be
purchased in vacuum packs for both
espresso and drip filter brewing.
•
If the coffee grind is too coarse the
water will pass rapidly through the
coffee maker resulting in poor
extraction of coffee flavour.
•
If the grind is too fine, the water will
not flow though the coffee even under
pressure (this grind looks like powder
and feels like flour when rubbed
between fingers).

CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the Espresso and Steam
function of the machine:
•
It is essential to clean the Espresso
steam system after each use.
•
Ensure the Espresso/Steam Selector
Control is in the ‘STANDBY’ position
and the steam pressure has been
released. Follow instructions on Page 6.
•
Remove the froth enhancer from the
steam tube and nozzle for cleaning and
wipe the steam tube and nozzle with a
damp cloth.
•
Remove the steam nozzle from the
steam tube by unscrewing in an
anticlockwise direction using the
spanner in the coffee spoon. Clean
the steam nozzle by allowing water
run through it for about 10 seconds in
the direction opposite to the normal
steam flow. If it remains blocked, use a
fine needle or pin to unblock.
•
Turn the Espresso/Steam Selector
Control to ‘STEAM’ and allow the
appliance to produce steam for 4-5
seconds to clear the steam tube.The
Espresso filter holder does not have to
be locked into position.
•
Turn the Espresso/Steam Selector
Control to ‘STANDBY’, switch off at
the power outlet, remove the plug and
allow the appliance to cool.
•
Remove all steam pressure by
following the instructions on Page 6.
•
After the steam pressure has been
released and the coffee machine has
cooled, remove the Espresso water
tank cap and discard the remaining
water (always empty the Espresso
water tank between uses). Ensure the
Drip Filter Water Tank and Drip Filter
Holder are empty and have been
removed before tipping the appliance.
•
The steam nozzle must be screwed
back onto the steam tube in a clockwise
direction by using the spanner in the
coffee spoon, tighten the steam nozzle
using reasonable force.
•
The Espresso filter holder, stainless
steel filter and drip tray can be washed
with soapy water.The drip tray
consists of 2 parts and can be
separated for easier cleaning.
NOTE: Do not place any of the components in the
dishwasher.
