Frequently Asked Questions - Macchina de caffé Americano B412 BORETTI

How many cups can the BORETTI B412 make at once?

The BORETTI B412 has a 1.5-liter reservoir, allowing it to prepare up to 12 cups of filter coffee in one go. The glass carafe is graduated to help you measure the amount of water.

How do I adjust the coffee strength on the BORETTI B412?

The B412 features a coffee strength adjustment function (aroma control). Use this function for small quantities or if you prefer a stronger coffee. Adjust the selector on the control panel before starting the preparation.

How do I program the timer on the BORETTI B412 to prepare coffee in advance?

The machine is equipped with a programmable timer via the LED control panel. Fill the reservoir and the filter the night before, set the desired time, and the B412 will automatically start brewing at the programmed time.

Does the BORETTI B412 turn off automatically after brewing?

Yes, the B412 is equipped with an automatic shut-off that activates after about 40 minutes. The warming plate keeps the coffee hot during this time, then the machine cuts power to save energy.

What if the carafe drips when I remove it during brewing?

The B412 includes an anti-drip system that stops the coffee flow as soon as you remove the carafe. If drips persist, ensure the carafe is properly seated on the base when replacing it. A clogged filter can also increase pressure and bypass this system: clean the permanent filter.

How do I clean the permanent filter of the BORETTI B412?

Remove the filter holder after each use. Rinse the permanent filter under running water to remove coffee grounds. For a more thorough cleaning, soak the filter in hot water with a little white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly before replacing.

How do I descale the BORETTI B412?

Fill the reservoir with a mixture of water and white vinegar (50/50) or a commercial liquid descaler. Run a full brewing cycle without coffee, then perform two additional cycles with clear water to rinse the system. Repeat the operation every 2 to 3 months depending on your water hardness.

Can paper filters be used with the BORETTI B412?

The B412 comes with a reusable permanent filter, eliminating the need to buy paper filters. If you still wish to use paper filters (size no. 4), they are compatible with the filter holder. The paper filter yields a slightly clearer coffee without sediment.

What should I do if the BORETTI B412 does not turn on?

First, check that the cable is properly plugged in and the socket is powered. Ensure the reservoir has water and the carafe is correctly positioned on its base. If the problem persists, a thermal safety shutdown may have triggered: unplug the device for 15 minutes to let it cool before trying again.

Is the glass carafe of the BORETTI B412 dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe is generally dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to consult the manual provided with your device to confirm this compatibility. The filter holder and lid can be hand-cleaned under hot water.

What is the power of the BORETTI B412 and does it affect the quality of the coffee?

The B412 operates at 1,000 watts, allowing it to quickly reach the optimal brewing temperature. Properly calibrated power for a filter machine ensures even aroma extraction. The integrated warming plate then keeps the coffee at the right temperature.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

• Check if all accessories are included and if the appliance is not damaged.
• Rinse the appliance twice by allowing only water to run through it. Follow the instructions

for 'setting coffee', but do not add any ground coffee. Pour the water out once done.

• Wipe the casing and the hot plate a soft, moist cloth.

★ USE
