Note: The WMF COUP AromaOne filter coffee machine has an intelligent

water capacity display. Depending on the fill level in the water tank (3), the

relevant start buttons (6–9) light up white.

If the relevant start button (6–9) does not light up white, there is too little

water in the water tank (3) and you cannot start the desired brewing process.

Fill the water tank (3) up to the MAX marker.

2. Open the filter lid by pressing the opening button

(1). Fold the stamped

edge on a size 2 paper filter and then insert it into the filter insert (5). The

paper filter should not protrude over the edge of the filter, therefore you must

push it down slightly with your hand.

Note: Instead of using a paper filter (size 2) you can use the permanent filter

that is available as an accessory.

3. Fill with the required amount of ground coffee. Depending on your personal

taste, use approx. 5–7 g of medium-fine ground coffee per cup. If it is ground

too finely, the filter can overflow.

4. Close the filter lid. It will audibly click into place.

Note: When preparing coffee directly into a cup, we recommend that you

warm the cup first. Briefly rinse the cup in hot water before starting the

brewing process. This keeps the brewed coffee hot for longer.

With the WMF AromaOne filter coffee machine you can brew coffee directly into

your cup or in the Aroma glass jug (4).

stop valve effectively prevents coffee from dripping.

Note: You can cancel the brewing cycle at any time by pressing the On/Off (5)

In this case, leave the cup or the Aroma glass jug (4) in the appliance until the

remaining coffee in the filter has flowed through.

WMF Aroma Perfection

aroma function WMF Aroma Perfection for the respective brewing cycle.

To activate the function, press the appropriate start button for the brewing cycle

(6–9) a second time. The start button (6–9) flashes briefly three times to confirm

your selection and the preparation begins.

Note: If you wait longer than approximately 2 seconds before pressing the start

button for a second time, a normal brewing cycle starts.

Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.

Scale deposits result in an extended brewing time and lower quality coffee.

Limescale deposits also lead to energy losses and impair the service life of the

The automatic scaling indicator determines the time for the next descaling cycle.

Depending on the coffee consumption, the On/Off button (5) will flash blue/

white to prompt you to descale the appliance after 4 to 6 weeks.

Descaling - Anti-limescale program

We recommend using Cromargol®. This product is highly effective, food safe and

is neutral in taste and smell. Thanks to its special care formula with six high-

quality and protective additives, Cromargol® is also very gentle on materials.

You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you purchased your

appliance or from your chosen dealer.

You can also use a commercially available descaling agent that is suitable for

filter coffee machines.

Do not use vinegar or vinegar concentrate, as this can damage materials in

When using descalers based on citric acids, precipitates could form during

descaling that seal the limescale layer or clog the lines in the appliance. Descaling

with citric acids also takes too long, and therefore complete descaling cannot be

Damage caused by the use of an unsuitable descaling agent or through non-

compliance with the descaling instructions is not covered by our warranty claim.

Handle the descaling agent carefully to ensure that no furniture or clothing

Your coffee machine has an automatic descaling programme.

Note: Once the descaling programme has started you must not interrupt

it. This is for the safety of all users. It prevents coffee from being brewed

accidentally while the descaling solution has not yet

been fully rinsed away. In case of emergency, you can interrupt

the descaling programme by pressing the On/Off button (5). In this case you

rinse out the water tank (3) and then perform a rinse cycle (see “Rinse cycle”

▪ Connect the mains plug to an earthed wall socket and press the On/Off button

(5) to switch the appliance on.

▪ Insert the paper filter and place the Aroma glass jug (4) in the machine. Any

more substantial amounts of limescale residue collect on the filter paper and

thus prevent the outlet valve from clogging.

▪ Fill the water tank (3) with one portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® and fill with

tap water up to the MAX marker.

Note: The descaling programme can only be started if there is enough water

in the water tank (3) for 4 cups; the start buttons (6–9) must light up.

▪ Dose other descaling agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions.22

▪ To start the descaling programme, press buttons (8) and (9) at the same

time; the On/Off button (5) lights up blue during the descaling programme.

the appliance switches off automatically.

Note: The appliance will switch on and off several times during the descaling

▪ Empty the water tank (3) and the Aroma glass jug (4). Rinse the filter insert

(2), water tank (3) and Aroma glass jug (4) thoroughly with fresh tap water.

▪ Important: Now perform another rinse cycle (see the “Rinse cycle” section)

with fresh tap water.
