3. Set water hardness

Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up in the appliance. This increases the appliance’s energy consumption as lime scale on the heating element can prevent the water heating eectively.

Keeping coee warm on the hotplate aects the taste of your coee. To avoid this you should enjoy your coee fresh, by drinking it as soon after brewing as possible.
