Frequently Asked Questions - Look V Perfection MELITTA

How many cups can be prepared with the Melitta Look V Perfection?

The coffee maker can prepare up to 10 cups at once. The removable reservoir has a capacity of 1.25 liters, with readable graduations in the number of cups for precise dosing.

How to adjust the coffee intensity with the AromaSelector?

Simply turn the patented AromaSelector before starting the preparation. It allows you to choose between a mild and a strong intensity by adjusting the water flow over the coffee grounds.

How to program the warming duration?

Before starting the preparation, select the desired duration: 20, 40, or 60 minutes. Once this time has elapsed, the machine automatically turns off to save energy.

What paper filters should be used with this drip coffee maker?

Use filters of size 1x4, the standard size for drip coffee makers. The swing filter holder makes it easy to insert and remove the used filter.

How does the automatic shut-off work?

The Look V Perfection automatically turns off at the end of the warming duration you have programmed (20, 40, or 60 minutes). This safety feature is active with every use.

Can the carafe be removed during preparation?

Yes. The filter holder features a drip-stop system that stops the flow as soon as you remove the carafe, preventing stains or overflow on the warming plate.

How to descale the Look V Perfection?

The machine is equipped with a 3-in-1 limescale protection: a calcification level indicator, a programmable water hardness setting, and an automatic descaling program. When the indicator lights up, follow the guided program steps described in the manual.

How to set the water hardness to adjust descaling?

The water hardness is programmable directly on the machine. This setting allows you to adjust the maintenance frequency to your region. The more calcareous the water, the more frequent the descaling cycles will be.

Which parts are dishwasher safe?

The glass carafe, its lid, the reservoir lid, and the filter insert are dishwasher safe. The main body of the machine should never be immersed in water.

Why does the coffee flow slowly or overflow from the filter?

This issue is often caused by too fine a grind or too much coffee in the filter. Use a grind suitable for drip coffee makers (medium granularity). If the flow remains slow, run a descaling cycle.

How to easily fill the water reservoir?

The reservoir is fully removable: remove it, fill it at the tap to the graduation corresponding to the desired number of cups, and then replace it on the machine.

What is the power of the coffee maker and is it noisy?

The Look V Perfection operates with a power of 1,080 watts. Like all drip coffee makers with a resistance, the heating noise is moderate and limited to the preparation duration (a few minutes).

The markings on the water tank correspond with the number of cups that you prepare during a brewing process.

Approx. 85 ml coffee per cup

Approx. 125 ml coffee per cup

The brewing process will always use up all of the water in the water tank. Therefore, fill only the quantity of water that you require for the subsequent brewing process. The filled quantity of water may not exceed the 10/15 cup marking as the jug will otherwise overflow.

Fill fresh, clean tap or drinking water into the water tank. Do not use carbonated water or any other liquids.

Contact your local water provider to find out the water hardness.

Or check the water hardness with a water hardness test strip available from retailers. Follow the instructions on the water hardness test strip and the information in the table Water hardness.
