Product usage Tips and tricks + A clean coffee maker is essential for brewing great tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as directed (+ Cleaning and maintenance). + Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker. We recommend using softened or filtered water to prevent limescale deposits from building up. + Store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After opening a bag of coffee powder, reseal it tightly, then store it in the fridge to preserve its freshness. + We do not recommend reheating coffee as the coffee is at its best immediately after being brewed. + Clean the coffee maker whenever over-extraction causes a greasy appearance. The oil droplets found on the surface of brewed black coffee are the result of oil being extracted from the coffee powder. + This greasy appearance may occur more frequently when using dark-roasted coffees.
