Frequently Asked Questions - Livorno 12 TAURUS

How to prepare my first coffee with the Taurus Livorno 12?

Before first use, run the machine twice with only water to rinse the system. Then fill the water tank with cold water (between MIN 4 cups and MAX 12 cups), add ground coffee (6-7 g per cup) into the permanent filter, place the carafe, and turn on the appliance.

Why isn't my coffee dripping?

Check that the tank has enough water (at least 4 cups), the filter is correctly positioned, and the carafe is properly placed on the plate. The anti-drip system blocks flow if the carafe is missing.

Can I use ground coffee other than recommended?

Yes, you can use any type of ground coffee for drip coffee makers. Respect the recommended dose of 6 to 7 grams per cup.

How to clean the Taurus Livorno 12 coffee maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. The permanent filter, carafe, and lid can be washed with soapy water. Never immerse the machine or use abrasive products.

What to do if the indicator light does not turn on?

Make sure the machine is plugged in and the switch is in the on position. If the light remains off, check the electrical outlet. If the problem persists, contact technical service.

How many cups can I prepare at most?

The maximum capacity is 12 cups. The tank has a MAX mark that must not be exceeded.

Can I remove the carafe during brewing?

Yes, the anti-drip system stops the flow of coffee when the carafe is removed. Replace it quickly to avoid overflow from the filter.

Is it necessary to descale the machine?

Regular descaling (every 2-3 months) is recommended to prevent limescale buildup. Use a suitable descaler or diluted white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly with two cycles of clear water.

What to do in case of breakdown or malfunction?

Unplug the appliance and contact an authorized technical service. Do not attempt to repair yourself, as this would void the warranty and could be dangerous.

Does the machine have an automatic shut-off?

No, the Taurus Livorno 12 is not equipped with an automatic shut-off. You must manually turn off the appliance after use via the switch.
