Frequently Asked Questions - Coffee Taste & Style Duo Thermo CASO

How to set the delayed start time?

To set the delayed start, press the Prog button twice until TIMER lights up. Set the desired time using the H and Min buttons. Then press the On/Off button twice. The white LED will light up and the machine will start automatically at the programmed time.

How to adjust the aroma intensity?

Use the Mode button to choose between three levels: mild (●), medium and strong. A longer blooming time before brewing produces a stronger aroma.

What to do if the coffee passes too slowly?

This is often due to limescale. Descale the appliance regularly as described in the Descaling chapter. Also ensure you use a size 1x4 paper filter or the permanent filter, and do not use too much ground coffee.

How to clean the coffee machine?

Before cleaning, turn off the appliance and unplug it. Allow it to cool down. The permanent filter, filter holder and thermos bottle can be washed with clear water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance in water.

How often should I descale the appliance?

It is recommended to descale the machine once a month, depending on water hardness. Use a mixture of one quarter white vinegar and three quarters water. Run the mixture through, then rinse with 1.2 liters of clear water 1 to 2 times.

Can the thermos bottle be used without the hot plate?

The thermos bottle is designed to be placed on the hot plate during brewing. However, it retains heat even without the plate. The plate keeps it warm, but you can remove the thermos bottle for serving.

What to do if the anti-drip system does not work?

The anti-drip system may be clogged with coffee residue. Clean the valve located under the filter holder by gently pressing it to clear it.

How to use the permanent filter?

Insert the permanent filter into the filter holder. Fill it with ground coffee (appropriate amount). Do not tamp too much. Close the lid. The permanent filter is reusable; rinse it after each use.

What do the red and white LEDs mean?

The red LED indicates the appliance is operating (brewing). The white LED indicates that TIMER mode is activated and brewing will start at the programmed time. If no LED is lit, the appliance is off.

What is the maximum water capacity in the reservoir?

Never fill the water reservoir beyond the upper mark indicated. The maximum capacity is 1.2 liters, which corresponds to about 10 cups of coffee.
