Question 1

How to change the water filter of the MELITTA CAFFEO BARISTA TS coffee machine?

Accepted Answer

To change the water filter of your MELITTA CAFFEO BARISTA TS, the machine will notify you when replacement is necessary. Here’s how to proceed:

Replacement steps:

Gently remove the water reservoir from the machine
Empty and rinse the reservoir with clear water
Locate the screw thread at the bottom of the water reservoir
Use the screw key integrated into the provided coffee spoon to unscrew the old filter (the key is located at the end of the spoon)
Soak the new water filter for a few minutes in fresh water before installing it - this step is important to ensure its proper functioning
Screw the new water filter into the thread at the bottom of the reservoir using the screw key
Fill the reservoir with fresh water and place it back in the machine

Automatic setup: Once the reservoir is reinstalled, press the “menu/ok” button for 2 seconds to access the menu. Select the water filter update option and confirm with the “menu/ok” button. The machine will automatically adjust the water hardness based on the installed filter.

Important tips: The water filter provided with your machine filters out limescale and other impurities, extending the lifespan of the device and reducing the descaling frequency to once a year instead of every 3 months. Do not leave the water filter dry for long; if you do not use it for an extended period, store it in a container filled with tap water in the refrigerator. Caution: when descaling, always remove the water filter and place it in water - a filter left screwed in during descaling may be damaged.

Installing the filter: Place an empty coffee filter in the filter holder to prevent the solution from contaminating the filter holder.
Starting the cycle: Start a brewing cycle as you would for a normal coffee so that the solution circulates throughout the system.

Resuming the cycle: Turn the coffee maker back on and let the descaling cycle finish.
Rinsing: Empty the pot, rinse the reservoir with clear water, then fill it with clean water. Run one or two cycles of clear water to remove any residue of the descaler.
Final cleaning: Clean the filter holder and the pot with soapy hot water to remove any traces of the product.
