Longlife-Filter leaving sediment in the cup or carafe. The resulting coffee will be over ex-
tracted, too dark and bitter. If the grind is too coarse the water will flow through the coffee
too quickly. This will result in an under-extracted coffee lacking in flavour.
• Always use ground coffee suitable for use with a drip filter coffee machine. Never use
espresso grind as the finer grind size may cause the coffee basket to overflow.
General Tips
• Pre-heat the carafe or cup for best results. A pre-heated carafe or cup will help maintain
the coffee’s optimal temperature and keep coffee hotter for longer. Fill with hot water for
about 30 seconds then discard the water.
• Fresh, good-tasting water is essential for a perfect cup. If your water contains excessive
sediment, or has an ‘off’ taste or odor, we recommend using filtered water.
Iced Coffee
• Iced coffee is at its best when the coffee is brewed strong because the coffee is diluted
by the melting ice cubes. We recommend selecting ‘9 CUPS’ and the ‘INTENSE’ strength
setting. This makes approximately 1.3L of brewed coffee, enough for 4-6 servings. Once the
brewing cycle is complete, transfer the coffee to a heatproof jug and let cool to room tempe-
rature. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to overnight. Fill glasses with ice cubes.
Pour the coffee into the glasses, filling them to within 4cm of the rim. Top each glass with
milk, syrups or sweeteners as desired.
• If using granulated sugar as a sweetener, add while the coffee is hot to encourage the
sugar crystals to completely dissolve.
• To avoid a diluted taste, you can also use regular strength coffee and serve it over coffee
ice cubes. Prepare coffee ice cubes by pouring cool coffee into ice-cube trays and freezing.
CARE & CLEANING
Always turn the coffee machine off and remove the plug from the power outlet before clea-
ning.
Cleaning the Coffee Basket and Longlife-Filter
After every use, press the OPEN button to open the swing-out door. Remove the coffee
basket. Discard the ground coffee and paper filter. The coffee basket and Longlife-Filter can
be rinsed under running water. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the chute area of the coffee
basket and ensure the fine holes of the Longlife-Filter are clear. For a deeper clean, wash the
coffee basket and Longlife-Filter in warm, soapy water with a soft bristled brush.
Note: The flap on the side of the coffee basket is the steam baffle which assists with water
overflow if the coffee basket becomes blocked. The flap is hinged from the bottom for easy
cleaning. Pull the flap downwards to clean, however always click it back into the upright
position before use.
