coffee fill
8 Use the grip to open the main lid, to expose the filter holder and filter.

and individual taste, but we suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons per cup
of water.
10 Use the grip to close the main lid.
power up

a quick cup
14 You may remove the carafe to pour coffee at any time. The non-drip valve will stop
coffee dripping on to the hotplate.
15 To avoid overflowing, replace the carafe within 20 seconds. This may not sound
much, but its more than enough time to pour a couple of cups.
stopping
16 If you need to stop the coffee maker, press and release the button.
pouring
17 To pour, remove the carafe from the hotplate, and pour from the spout.
18 Replace the carafe on the hotplate to keep your coffee warm.
19 You may notice some resistance when you replace the carafe – this is caused by the
top of the carafe pushing against the non-drip valve.
20 When it's done, the hotplate will keep the carafe warm.
, If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to
affect the flavour. It's best to pour it away and make a fresh pot.
finished?
21 Press and release the button to switch the coffee maker off – the light will go out.
22 Unplug the coffee maker and let it cool down fully before cleaning, or for 10 minutes
before refilling.
caution
Raising the lid before the coffee maker has cooled down may release steam,
creating a scald hazard.
milk
23 There's a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. Our view is that
personal taste should rule, not convention.
24 If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee.
25 To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald
or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose and
sinuses, not just the taste buds.

26 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you
the best results.
