BREW MODES

• FAST: This mode is to deliver the fastest 

brewed coff ee. 

• GOLD (recommended): This mode meets the 

criteria for an optimum brew and the gold cup 

standard* requirements of ECBC (European 

Coff ee Brewing Center) using the Cone Filter 

basket and water volumes of 1.0L & 1.2L 

together with a brew ratio of 60g of coff ee to 1.0L 

of water.

• STRONG: This brewing mode delivers a stronger 

tasting coff ee.

• MY BREW: Allows you to customise every 

brew setting.

 

− Bloom Time: Coff ee bloom occurs when 

hot water hits the ground coff ee. This setting 

allows you to adjust how long the bloom time 

lasts. We recommend 30‑60 seconds. 

 

− Bloom Volume: You can adjust the amount 

of water used for blooming by changing this 

setting. Ideally, this will be around 10% of the 

brew volume.

 

− Brewing Temp: You can adjust the 

temperature of the brew water to suit your 

favourite coff ee.

 

− Flow Rate: You can adjust brewing time 

to control contact time by adjusting the 

water delivery speed. 

• POUR OVER: If you are using the Pour Over 

Adapter, use this mode. Adapter sold separately.

• COLD BREW: 
Due to the long duration (typically 4‑14 hours) 

of the brewing process we recommend setting 

the machine up overnight. 
1.  Fill the tank with your desired volume of chilled 

water, ensuring this is below the COLD BREW 

marking.

2.  Remove the basket, and ensure both the cone 

insert and mesh basket fi lter are removed. Add 

a large paper fi lter and then coff ee at 2-3 times 

of regular ratio (approximately 12 scoops for 

4 cups). Reinsert the basket into the machine.

3.  Remove the lid from the carafe and re‑insert 

the carafe.

4.  Navigate to the COLD BREW setting 

and press START / CANCEL. 

NOTE

Always ensure your carafe is empty and clean 

before brewing.

NOTE

For the very best tasting coff ee we recommend 

using a brew ratio of 60g of coff ee per 1.0 litre 

of water.
6.  Rotate the SELECT dial to the desired 

mode. Press the START / CANCEL button to 

commence brewing.

7.  When your coff ee is ready, the machine 

will beep 3 times then commence counting up 

for the TIME SINCE BREW.
