Before Use; Making Coffee - Krups T8 Instructions For Use Manual

Before use

Before preparing coffee in the machine for
the very first time it is advisable to operate
the machine 2 or 3 times with clear water,
without coffee grounds.

Making coffee

Plug the machine into the mains.
Fill the machine with the required amount
of water (1).
The glass jug is marked in cups to help you
to measure the amount of water required.
Place the filter paper in the filter (2).
(Round filter papers, size No. 1,
diameter 94 mm)
If you moisten the filter paper slightly after
placing it in the filter, you will avoid getting
coffee meal between the filter paper and the
filter itself at the beginning of the filtering
process.
Put the required amount of coffee in the
filter (3).
You can measure the required quantity of
coffee powder with a coffee measure. For
medium-strong coffee we recommend one
measure (approx. 6-7 g) per cup.
Spread the ground coffee evenly over the
filter paper and press down lightly. If you
are making only 2 or 3 cups we recommend
laying a second filter paper on top of the
coffee. The coffee will then be as strong and
aromatic, as when making the maximum
number of cups.
Place the cover plate on the water
container with the handle pointing
towards the rear (4).
Make sure the cover plate is properly
seated. The rubber sealing ring of the water
container must be completely enclosed.
Locating the glass jug and filter:
The handles of the filter lid, the filter itself
and the jug must all interlock (5).
Push the jug into the appliance from the
front, until the handle of the cover
touches the framework above. Only so
can one be sure that the brewing jet is
8
located directly above the opening in the
filter cover. Then press the sealing lever
right down (6).
Switch on the appliance (7).
If the appliance should be accidentally used
without water, the heater may become
permanently discoloured. This has no effect
on the function of the appliance.
The sealing lever must not be opened
whilst coffee is running through, as the
appliance is then under pressure.
The coffee runs out spasmodically, because
the pressure must be built up again and
again.
The flow of coffee is only then finished
when no further drops have run out of the
filter for several seconds. Remove the glass
jug.
Press the safety button and SLOWLY
open the sealing lever, so that any
residual pressure in the system can be
released (8).
The occasional cloudy appearance of the
coffee can be caused by the quality of the
water, the type of coffee used or by the
degree of coarseness of the ground coffee.
It is a good idea to stir the coffee in the
glass jug.
If the filter process takes noticeably longer
than usual, look to see whether the
appliance needs to have limescale removed.
(see "Removal of Limescale").
Keeping the coffee hot
The machine's heating element continues to
work until the machine is switched off.
To keep the jug hot, just replace it in the
machine and close the sealing lever. The
coffee is kept hot at drinking temperature.
Flex storage
This appliance is furnished with a
convenient flex storage arrangement on
the under side of the appliance (9).
