OPERATING MODES

Your coffee maker has two operating modes.

GRIND & BREW MODE

This mode uses fresh coffee beans to make the coffee.

PRE-GROUND COFFEE MODE

This mode uses pre-ground coffee added directly to the filter to make the coffee.

USING GRIND & BREW MODE

The quality and flavour of your coffee is determined by the type of beans, the grind size and the brewing time. We recommend experimenting with the grind size and coffee strength button until you find the settings that work best for you.

1. To select Grind & Brew mode, press the button until the icon shows on the display.
2. Fill the reservoir with the required amount of water. Note that during the brewing cycle, ALL of water you put in the reservoir will be used.
3. Open the filter compartment and place a #4 paper filter into the filter holder. Close the compartment.
4. Open the coffee bean hopper lid and fill it with fresh coffee beans. Don't overfill the hopper so that you can't refit the lid. The lid seal will help to keep the coffee beans fresh between uses.
5. Turn the grind control to the required setting (● fine, ● medium and ● coarse).
6. Press the 📄 button to select the number of cups you are brewing. The setting you choose will depend on how much water you have added to the reservoir. For example, if you have filled the reservoir to the 6 cups mark, set the number of cups to 6 as well. The default setting is 8.
7. Select the desired coffee strength using the 🔗 button. The default setting is 🔗.
8. Press the ▶ button to start brewing. After a short time, the grinder will operate and the light around the button will flash while the coffee is brewing.
9. Once the coffee is brewed, the light will stop flashing.

USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE MODE

1. To select pre-ground coffee mode, press the button until the icon shows on the display.
2. Fill the reservoir with the required amount of water. Note that during the brewing cycle, ALL of water you put in the reservoir will be used.
3. Open the filter compartment and place a #4 paper filter into the filter holder.
4. For each large cup, add 6g of ground filter coffee to the filter. The amount of ground coffee you add will depend on how much water you have added to the reservoir. For example, if you have filled the reservoir to the 6 cups mark, add 6 measures of ground coffee.
5. Close the filter compartment.
6. Select the desired coffee strength using the 🔗 button. The default setting is OFF. Setting coffee strength to ON will give a stronger brew by slowing down the rate that water passes through the pre-ground coffee.
7. Press the ▶ button to start brewing. After a short time, the light around the button will flash while the coffee is brewing.
8. Once the coffee is brewed, the light will stop flashing.

CARAFE
