general
32 Don’t keep coffee on the hotplate for more than an hour and don’t reheat it
otherwise it’ll become bitter.
33 Don’t try to reheat coffee by passing it through the coffee maker. The reboiled
coffee won’t taste very nice, and you’ll damage the coffee maker.
34 Grease or sediment on coffee making equipment can impair the taste. Make sure
the filter. filter holder, and carafe are clean before use; clean them thoroughly after
each use.
35 Fill with freshly drawn cold water. Let the tap run for a few moments first,
particularly first thing in the morning.
coffee
For best results use medium-ground filter coffee. The amount will vary with the type of
coffee and your individual taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons of
medium-ground coffee per cup.
milk
Our view is that personal taste should rule, not convention. What we do say is that if
you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. To
extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald or
burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, sinuses and nose, not
just the taste buds.
bottled water
If you use bottled water, make sure it has no added ingredients, flavourings, etc., and
use “still” water, not “sparkling”. The carbon dioxide which gives the “sparkle” will
adversely affect the flavour of your coffee.
care and maintenance
1 Unplug the coffee maker (switch the socket off first, if it’s switchable).
2 Leave it to cool down fully.
3 Wipe the outside of the coffee maker, and the inside and outside of the filter
housing with a clean damp cloth.
4 You can wash the carafe, filter, and filter holder in warm soapy water. Rinse
thoroughly afterwards, to remove all trace of soap, then dry.
5 To remove the filter holder, simply lift it out of the housing. To replace it, align the
tab with the open end of the housing, and drop it into place.
Don’t put any part of the coffee maker in a dishwasher.
Don’t put the coffee maker in water or any other liquid.
Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaners or solvents.
descaling
Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. It may
cause the safety cut-out to operate prematurely, switching the coffee maker off before
the water boils. It will also lengthen the brewing time.
To minimise scale build-up, empty the coffee maker after each use, don’t leave water to
stand in the coffee maker overnight, and descale the coffee maker regularly. Use a
proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products. Follow the
instructions on the packet of descaler.
