Make sure that the filter
paper does not fold over
when closing the swivel
filter. Otherwise the
water might run be-
tween the filter paper
and the filter holder pro-
ducing a very weak cup
of coffee.
filling The Water Chamber
Open the hinged water
chamber lid (see figure
6). Pour in the desired
quantity of water (see
figure 7).
The amount of freshly
brewed coffee delivered
after the brewing
process will always be
slightly less than the
amount put into the
water chamber. This is
due to the minimal
absorption of the water
by the ground coffee.
Therefore, put in a little
more water to begin
with so that you will
have the number of
cups that you desire.
2. Place the glass carafe
with lid in position on
the warming plate.
3. Turn “on” your “IL
Bistro” using the
button. The indicator
light will illuminate
indicating that the
brewing process has
begun (see figure 8).
