Frequently Asked Questions - DN487 BUFFALO

How to descale the Buffalo DN487 coffee machine?

Pour a suitable descaling solution into the water tank. Turn on the machine and let it run for 4 minutes, then turn it off and wait 10 minutes. Turn it on again to empty the tank. Discard the solution and rinse the system with fresh water by running a full cycle. Repeat if necessary. Descale every 3 months or more often if the water is hard.

Why is my coffee not flowing?

Check that the water tank is not empty. If the coffee is too compacted in the filter, turn off the machine, aerate the ground coffee with a spoon, then turn it back on. Also ensure the filter holder is correctly in place.

What to do if the machine does not turn on?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working outlet and the switch is in the On position. If the cord or plug is damaged, contact a qualified technician or a Buffalo agent. If there is an internal issue, call a professional.

What is the tank capacity?

The tank can hold up to 2.2 litres of cold water. Use the carafe to fill it so as not to exceed this capacity.

How to clean the machine?

Turn off and unplug the appliance before cleaning. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth soaked in soapy water, then wipe dry. Never immerse the machine in water.

Can I use standard ground coffee?

Yes, use filter ground coffee. The amount depends on your taste. Place a paper filter in the filter holder, add the coffee, and tamp lightly. Avoid over-tamping so as not to block the flow.

Is the carafe glass or stainless steel?

The supplied carafe is stainless steel. It heats up during operation; always hold it by the handle to avoid burns.

Should I turn off the machine after use?

Yes, after each use, turn off the switch and unplug the appliance. Never leave the machine running unattended.

How many cups can be brewed with a full tank?

With 2.2 litres of water, you can brew approximately 12 cups of coffee (standard 150 ml per cup). The exact number depends on the size of your cups.

What do the indicator lights mean?

The green light indicates that the brewing cycle is in progress. The red light serves as a warning (e.g., if the carafe is removed or the machine is overheating). Consult the manual for more details.
