filter may overflow, which in turn will result in grounds in the coffee.
Put the lid on the filter holder and replace the filter holder by pushing it into the
notches on the coffee maker (a magnet keeps the filter holder in place). Check
that the filter holder’s drip stop is open (see “Anti-drip function”).
Plug the appliance in and start the coffee maker by pressing the ON/OFF
button (4). The indicator light will come on to show that the coffee brewing
process has started.
Blooming function
If you want to give your coffee extra fullness and character, you can use the
coffee maker’s blooming function to get the maximum flavour out of the coffee.
Fill the coffee maker with water and ground coffee as per the instructions
above. Then press the blooming button (6) to activate the feature. Then press
the ON/OFF button (4). Brewing is now underway and lasts for about 1
minute. The brewing process then pauses for about 35 seconds. During this
time, the water releases carbon dioxide from the ground coffee, which brings
out the natural sweetness and aroma of the coffee. The brewing process then
continues until all the water has flowed through.
The hotplate underneath the glass jug will get very hot. Always switch off the
coffee maker once the glass jug is empty or when the coffee no longer needs
to be kept hot. Press on/off to re-activate the keep warm function. Note that
the coffee taste will be affected if kept in keep warm mode for a longer time.
For reasons of hygiene, we always recommend removing the used coffee filter
from the filter holder once the brewing process is complete.
Anti-drip function
You can briefly remove the jug from the coffee
maker during the brewing process. To activate the
drip stop, push the lever on the filter holder to the
right towards the symbol (see picture). Reopen by
pushing the lever to the left. However, it is important
that the jug is replaced on the hotplate and the drip
stop is opened within 30 seconds, otherwise the
coffee will run over.
Automatic shut-off function
The coffee maker is equipped with an automatic shut-off function that ensures
that the coffee maker switches off automatically after 40 minutes.
Cleaning and maintenance
Switch off the coffee maker. Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down
before cleaning.
Remove any used coffee filter and clean the coffee maker’s casing with a
damp cloth. Wipe dry with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use corrosive cleaning
