Making Coffee

Perfect Coffee Tips

Tips: Water
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste good in your coffee. Every time to use water and ensure that water had removed chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.

Tips 2: Bean
While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, buy only a two-week supply of fresh coffee beans at a time. Once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly. That's why Gevi grinds your beans just prior to brewing.

Tips: Grind
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. Gevi machine is preset for medium, the optimal grind for this type of brewing process.

Tips 4: Proportion
Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of whole beans or ground coffee in the instructions under MAKING COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to your taste.

NOTE
Do not overfill or the grinder could malfunction and/or overflow.

Operation Tips

Grinding Beans

NOTE
We suggest not placing too much coffee bean in bean container to avoid the moist of coffee beans. If add more than 200g of coffee beans, this could cause the grinder to malfunction and/or the machine to overflow.

• For first time use, use the coarsest setting ‒ the largest dot.
  • For dark oily beans use the coarsest setting. For light, dry beans use the finer settings.
  • The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, over extraction and bitterness will result.
    Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. Your coffeemaker is preset for medium, the optimal grind for this type of brewing process.
• If you buy large portions of beans, separate them into one or two week portions and store them in airtight containers in the freezer.
  • Preserve freshness by minimizing exposure to air, light, and moisture. Once beans are removed from the freezer, keep them in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation can occur when beans move from cold to warmer temperatures.
  • Do not store beans in the freezer directly.

If you fill beans from freezer directly into the grinder, moisture will seep into the burrs and the feeder channel. The moisture makes the ground coffee stick in the feeder channel and will clog it up over time,

• Some experts feel freezing dark- roast beans can cause oils to coagulate; others disagree. You'll have to decide that one for yourself!
  • Your coffee machine burr grinder is calibrated to work with all different kinds of roasts. Dark, oily beans will leave some oil residue in the feeder channel. Over time this can slow down the flow of ground coffee. Deep roasted beans are not suitable for this coffee machine, and it is easy to damage the grinder.
• Do not use sugar or powder coated beans in the grinder (e.g. cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla etc). Coated beans can pit the bean container. The coating might stick to the burrs and, over time, will reduce the perfor- mance of the grinding mechanism.
  • Do not add any liquid flavorings or syrups to the beans.

TIP
Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee's flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

As long as the grinder is in operation, do not open the bean container lid and do not insert your finger or any other object into the grinder. After brewing is finished the ON/OFF red indicator light will turn off. For the next 1 to 2 minutes hot coffee will still pass from the filter into the carafe.

• To serve coffee, remove the carafe from the platform. Push and hold the pouring lever to serve coffee.

Brewing

To avoid damaging the machine only fill the water tank with cold tap water.

• Do not place parts of the body under the drip stop while the machine is in operation.
  Use the supplied measuring Spoon for purpose. Refer to the following table for the required amount:

TIPS

• 7g or 1 spoon of powder for 1-cup coffee recommended, but you may adjust according to personal taste.
• The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 70g coffee powder, using either a disposable coffee filter or permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.
• You can also use a permanent filter instead of a disposable coffee filter. The filter and filter paper cannot be used at the same time.

• Paper Filter - place a basket paper filter in the Filter Insert, making sure the filter is completely open and touching the side walls and bottom of Filter Insert.
• Commercial-Style Permanent Filter - Be sure the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket, so it does not interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket.

NOTE
Some ground coffee may flow into the carafe.

The amount of water added should be the same as the amount of powder cup you choose, such as you choose 2 cups of powder and you should add 2 cups of water, otherwise the machine will finish boiling all the water in water tank would cause weak of coffee.

TIPS
When you had set the strong strenght, but still tasted not strong enough. We suggest you to add less amount of water, and select for more powder. (e.g. select POWDER 2-10 Button for 4 cups, but add 2 cup of water, the flavor will be stronger).
The coffee you get would less than the water you pour in as some water had been absorbed by coffee powder.

Brew Pause Feature
Our Brew Pause feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid- brew. Be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot, because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle differs from coffee made at the end.

NOTE
Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow.

Drip Stop / Stop And Serve

• While the coffee is brewing you can remove the carafe to pour a cup or two. The drip stop will close automatically.
• To avoid any overflow, replace the carafe within 20 seconds.

The drip stop might not close completely allowing coffee to drip on to the platform. In this case immediately place carafe back into the machine and let all the coffee flow into the carafe.

After brewing is finished, check the Permanent Filter for any clogging and rinse the filter insert to remove any coffee particles from the drip stop.

Operation-Make Coffee With Coffee Beans

1. Fill the Water Tank
   
   Puting your desired cup according to the Coffee Carafe mark, then open the water tank lid and pour in water.
   1. Never pour hot water, milk, coffee powder or tea into water tank.
   2. For best coffee results, use filtered water & freshly roasted coffee beans.
      
      
      NOTE
      The coffee amount is referred to the Mark on the machine's water tank. The makr on the carafe in the same with the mark on the water tank. You can fill water according to the Mark to get the same cups of coffee. For example, if you want 8 cups of coffee, fill water to Mark 8 of the water tank.
      
      
      NOTE
      Please do not fill the water mark exceed 10 cup mark on water level indicator. Doing so could cause carafe to overflow.
2. Put Coffee Beans
   
   Open the lid of the bean container and wipe it with dry cloth to make sure it is dry inside.
   
   Do not use unroasted, caramelised or sugar-coated coffee beans.
   
   Add no more than 200 g of coffee beans to the bean container.
   
   NOTE
   • The bean container will hold approximately 200 grams of beans, good for two full pots of coffee in grinder setting 10.
   • Never fill the bean container with frozen or coated beans.
   • The amount of beans to be ground is controled by the grinding time through selecting the cups of coffee. So it will not grind all of the beans at one time. So it is suggested to add the proper amount of coffee beans as the coffee amount you want to prevent getting damp overnight.
   • This machine is not suitable for deep roasted beans.
     
     Replace and firmly press down the lid. Make sure that the water container lid is closed to prevent beans from spilling into the water container.

   NOTE
   The amount of powder cup you choose should be the same as the amount of water you added, such as you added 2 cups of water and you should add 2 cups of powder. If you pour more water than the number of cups you choose, it will cause the coffee to become weak (because the machine will brew all the water in the tank).
6. Grind Setting
   
   Set the grind regulator to the required grind.
   • Turn the regulator anticlockwise towards to grind the coffee finer.
   • Turn the regulator clockwise towards to grind the coffee coarser.
     
     NOTE
     • Adjust the grind only while the machine is grinding the coffee beans otherwise the grinder may be damaged.
     • A fine grind is recommended for a light roast and a coarse grind for a dark roast. The roast is normally printed on the coffee packaging.
     • We recommend you turn the knob to the middle position (4 or 5 grade) as if the beans are ground too fine, it will affect the coffee flow speed.

Descaling The Machine

• Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of your machine. The mineral content of the tap water in your area and the frequency of use affects the rate of the calcium buildup, which can affect the functioning of your machine and the flavor of your coffee. To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should clean away the mineral deposits left by the water regularly according to the water quality in your area and the frequency of use.
• If the drinking water is very hard, you will need to descale the machine earlier. If the brewing time increases or the machine becomes noisier, this is a sure sign that the coffee machine needs to be descaled.
• All hot water machine need descaling depending on the water hardness and how often the machine is used. Warranty claims cannot be made for a machine that is not functioning due to a failure to descale it properly.

Descaling Solution
You have 3 options:

1. One machine descaling tablet. or
2. Liquid descaler. or
3. White vinegar & warm water.

You also can use powder descalers or others to clean your machine as you like. For specific cleaning methods, please refer to the instructions provided by your descaler provider.

Health risks by use of incorrect descaler! Only use food-safe descaler to clean the parts that come in contact with water and coffee.

Preparing for Descaling
Step 1 - Make sure there is no filter with coffee grounds in the machine and the Coffee Carafe is clean.

Step 2 - Remove the Coffee Carafe. Step3 - Fill the Coffee Carafe up to the "10"mark with cold tap water.

Step 4 - Fill the water tank with water and descaler to the 10 cup level (The rate of descaler and water is 1:100).

In-Depth Descaling

• When you find that the cup of your choice and the amount of coffee brewed are much not enough, and the machine will automatically stop but there is still a lot of water left in the water tank, and if this phenomenon occurs repeatedly, it may be because the water quality is not good or the machine is not cleaned in time.
• The cause of this problem is that there is a build-up of limescale inside the heating tubes, which will result in a machine premature shut-down without brewing enough coffee. Actually for all kinds of coffee machines, accumulation of limescale is a common problem, it needs customers to remove limescale regularly because this will not only keep the machine clean, but also deliver better coffee tastes.
