Frequently Asked Questions - PURISTA MELITTA

How to adjust water hardness on the Melitta PURISTA?

To adjust water hardness, press and hold the Service button for more than 2 seconds to access setting mode 1. Press Service repeatedly until you see the water hardness function symbol (water droplet). Use the Coffee strength button to select the level corresponding to your hardness (soft, medium, hard, very hard). Confirm by pressing and holding Service for more than 2 seconds. If you use a filter cartridge, this setting is not necessary.

How often should the machine be descaled?

Melitta recommends running the descaling program every 3 months, or when the decalc symbol lights up. Use exclusively Melitta ANTI CALC liquid descaler. Remove the filter cartridge before descaling. The program lasts about 25 minutes and must not be interrupted.

How to clean the brew unit?

Turn off the appliance. Open the right side cover. Press and hold the red lever of the brew unit, turn the handle clockwise to the stop, then remove the unit. Rinse it thoroughly under running water, focusing on the filter. Let it drain, then replace it by turning the handle counterclockwise. Close the cover. This cleaning is recommended once a week.

How to use the cleaning program?

Turn on the appliance and wait until it is ready. Press and hold Service for more than 2 seconds to enter setting mode 1. Press Service repeatedly until you see the clean symbol. Press and hold Service for more than 2 seconds to start the program. Follow the on-screen instructions: empty the drip tray, remove the brew unit, place a cleaning tablet Melitta PERFECT CLEAN into the unit, then put it back. The program lasts about 15 minutes.

What to do if the coffee does not flow or drips slowly?

If the coffee drips, the grind may be too fine: adjust the grind lever to a coarser position (to the right) while the grinder is running. If that does not help, clean the brew unit or run the descaling program. Also check that the water tank is properly positioned and filled.

How to program my favorite drink?

Press and hold the Favorite coffee button for more than 2 seconds until the ready and bean symbols flash quickly. Adjust the strength with the Coffee strength button, then press Favorite coffee to start grinding. During dispensing, when the desired quantity is reached, press Favorite coffee again to memorize. The settings are then saved.

How to adjust the grind fineness?

Open the right side cover. Start preparing a coffee. While the grinder is running, move the Grind setting lever to the left for a finer grind, to the right for coarser. It is recommended to wait until you have prepared at least 100 cups before adjusting.

How to replace the water filter cartridge?

Soak the new cartridge in fresh water for a few minutes. Access setting mode 1, select the filter cartridge symbol, then start the filtration program. Empty the drip tray, remove the water tank, screw the new cartridge onto the bottom of the tank, fill with water, and replace the tank. The program rinses the cartridge automatically. The symbol turns off at the end. Replace the cartridge every 2 months.

Why does the drip tray symbol light up?

The Drip tray symbol lights up to remind you to empty the drip tray and the coffee grounds container. This usually occurs after about 8 drinks. Empty both containers, replace the grounds container, and push the drip tray until it stops. If the symbol stays on after emptying, check that the containers are properly inserted.

How to purge the appliance before transport or long inactivity?

Turn on the appliance and wait until it is ready. Simultaneously press and hold Service and Coffee for more than 2 seconds to access setting mode 2. Press Service until you see the Purge symbol. Press and hold Service for more than 2 seconds to start the purge. Empty the water tank when the Water symbol lights up. The appliance turns off automatically after the purge.

7.5 Using a water filter

The use of a water filter extends the service life of the appliance and the appliance has to be descaled less frequently. The water filter filters calcium and other pollutants out of the water.

Only use Melitta® Pro Aqua filter cartridges for fully automatic coffee machines. Observe the processing instructions on the packaging of the water filter.

i Information

When using and regularly replacing the Melitta® Pro Aqua filter cartridge, the appliance only needs to be descaled once a year.

This information is based on an average of 6 coffee beverages with 120 ml per day and 6 filter changes per year.
