before using for the first time

Fill the water tank and run the machine without coffee. Discard the water and clean the
machine. See "* button", next page.
bottled water
Check it has no added ingredients or flavourings. Use flat water, not sparkling. The
carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will adversely affect the flavour of your coffee.
taste
Don't be tempted to pass old coffee through the machine. You'll damage the machine
and the coffee will be undrinkable.
Clean the filter, spacer, and filter holder, after each use, any taint from a previous
brewing will spoil your coffee.
milk
If you take milk, use warm milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. For maximum flavour,
coffee should be cool enough not to scald or burn, but hot enough for the flavour to fill
the mouth, sinuses and nose.
