What coffee should you choose?
• For an aromatic coffee
Choose pure Arabica coffees or those composed mostly of Arabica coffee.
Artisan roasted coffees are preferred as they lend a better complexity and delicateness to
the flavour. For a variety of flavours, try pure origin coffees.
• For an intense coffee
Choose coffees blended with Robusta – not specifically 100% Arabica – or Italian-roasted
coffees or specific Italian-flavoured coffees.
• Keep the ground coffee in the fridge as this will lock in the flavour for longer.
• Do not fill your filter holder to the brim; use the measuring spoon (1 spoon for a 50 ml cup,
2 spoons for 2 x 50 ml cups). Clean off any excess coffee from around the filter holder.
• If you have not used the appliance for more than 5 days, empty and rinse the water tank.
• Always make sure the appliance is switched off before removing the tank to fill it or
empty it.
• Always ensure the appliance is positioned on a flat and stable surface.
