BLOOMING
• When coffee is roasted, CO
the bean. Coffee grounds release this CO
when hot water hits them, and this is called
"blooming". Your Brewer can automatically
adjust bloom time by controlling the water
flow. Blooming can have an impact on the
aromas and flavours of the brewed cup. If the
coffee is overly bitter shorten bloom time,
and if it's sour make it a little longer.
PRE-HEATING
• 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.
WATER QUALITY
• Fresh, good-tasting water is essential for a
perfect cup. If the 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. To achieve great
Iced coffee we recommend brewing in OVER
ICE mode. Fill the tank ensuring the water
level does not exceed the 600ml level.
• Fill the brew basket with twice the amount
of coffee you'd normally use for regular
brewed coffee.
• Brew into the carafe.
• Once the brewing cycle is complete, transfer
the coffee to a heatproof pitcher and let cool
to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold,
at least 2 hours or overnight. Fill glasses
with ice cubes. Pour the coffee into the
glasses, filling them to within 4cm of the rim.
Top each glass with cream, milk, syrups or
sweeteners as desired.
NOTE
If using granulated sugar as a sweetener, add
while the coffee is hot to encourage the sugar
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.
COLD BREW
Your Brewer will produce a maximum of
600ml of Cold Brew. Due to the long duration
(typically 4-14 hours) of the brewing process we
recommend setting the machine up overnight
so the Cold Brew will be ready in the morning.
1. Fill the tank with your desired volume of
water ensuring this is below the
COLD BREW line.
2. Remove the basket, and ensure both the
cone insert and mesh basket filter are
removed. Add a large paper filter and
then coffee at 2-3 times of regular ratio
(approximately 12 scoops for 600ml).
Reinsert the basket into the machine.
3. Remove the lid from the carafe and re-insert
– the lid must not be on the carafe during
the brewing process, alternatively, use
another vessel.
4. Navigate to the COLD BREW setting and
press START|CANCEL. The machine will
then begin brewing the water without the
heating element. Once this is complete a
countdown timer will display on the LCD
indicating when the Cold Brew is finished.
At this point the machine will automatically
dispense the Cold Brew into the waiting
carafe.
NOTE
Brew Time for Cold Brew can easily be
adjusted to your preference, anywhere between
5min – 24hrs.
NOTE
Do not add ice to the tank. Cold, chilled water
should be added.
NOTE
Ensure the carafe lid is removed for Cold Brew
mode.
