Descaling the Machine
Capresso recommends descaling your coffee maker
every 1-3 months depending on local water hardness
or when brewing a full pot takes more than 15 minutes.
• Remove GoldTone filter from filter basket and
charcoal filter from water tank.
• Dissolve 1 oz. (28 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution*
(or other descaling agent) with 32 oz. (1 L) of water and
pour mixture into water tank.
• Place the empty carafe with the lid closed into the
machine.
• Press GROUND COFFEE button to turn grinder
off. Turn the machine on for 2 minutes by pressing
BREW.
• Turn the machine off by pressing BREW again and let
sit for 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, turn the machine on by pressing
BREW and let the remaining descaling solution pass
through.
• Turn the coffee maker off, remove the carafe, empty
and rinse a few times with fresh cold water.
• Rinse the filter insert thoroughly with fresh water and
place back into the machine.
• Rinse water tank and fill with fresh cold water and
brew through the machine to rinse out any remaining
descaling solution.

Grinding with Extremely
Oily Roasts:
• There are some popular French Roasts that have
excess oils added during the roasting process.
These added oils stick to the inside of the grinder
and chute and must be cleaned out more frequently
when using these extremely oily beans.
• Even if severe clogging has occurred, the clog is
easily expelled using the angled brush to clean the
burrs and ground coffee chute. Once the clog is
removed, the machine performs normally.
• Simple steps can be taken to avoid severe clogging,
even when using French Roast or other extremely
oily beans.
1. Use the
Grind & Clean Cycle
more frequently when
dark, oily roasts are being used. Even if the machine
is not "clogged", this cycle will help keep any
leftover ground coffee or oily residues from building
up in the burrs and the ground coffee chute.
2. Always use the “oily” setting when using beans
that have an oily shine, as this will extend the
grind time for these slower feeding beans.
3. If oily beans are having trouble feeding, make sure
to wipe down the inside of the bean container with a
dry paper towel.
4. Let dark, oily beans air out on a plate or paper
towel. If possible, let beans air out overnight but
even just 1-2 hours in open air will help reduce
sticky oils dramatically.
5. If airing out beans is not possible, spread beans
out on a paper towel, and use another paper towel
to pat down the beans to remove the added oils.
6. It is also helpful to mix a smaller amount of less
oily beans in with the oily beans. This will not only
help the beans feed more freely, but the drier
beans will actually absorb some of the oils from
dark, shiny roasts.
Note:
Grinder/Brewer combination machines require
some maintenance and upkeep in order to maintain
the best performance.
While using dark oily roasts is most certainly permitted,
it may require the user to adjust the frequency of
maintenance routines accordingly.
