Frequently Asked Questions - Pour Over BEEM

How to prepare a Pour Over coffee with this appliance?

Fill the water tank (min. 200 ml, max. 1000 ml). Place a size 2 paper filter in the filter holder and preheat the carafe with hot water. Pour the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter. Place the carafe with filter holder on the scale, press the Waage button to tare, then press ⏻ to start brewing. The appliance heats the water, performs a blooming of about 30 seconds, then brews. Once finished, wait for the water to drain completely before serving.

How to adjust the water temperature?

Turn the rotary knob to the Temp (temperature) position. Use the △ and ▽ buttons to select the desired temperature between 80 and 98 °C. The selected temperature is displayed on the screen and activated automatically. In 'Auto' mode, the temperature is set to 93 °C.

How to use the timer preset function?

After setting the time, prepare the coffee maker as for a normal brew (steps 1 to 8). Turn the rotary knob to the Programm position, set the desired start time with the △ and ▽ buttons, confirm with ⏻, then press ⏻ again to activate the preset. The PROG icon is displayed permanently. To deactivate, press ⏻ once more.

What type of ground coffee to use?

For best results, use high-quality coffee beans, light roasted to avoid bitterness. The grind should be medium-fine, comparable to fine salt. It is recommended to grind the beans just before brewing to preserve aromas. Avoid too fine a grind (too slow extraction) or too coarse a grind (too fast extraction).

How to descale the appliance?

Use BEEM premium descaling concentrate diluted in water (1:20 max). Fill the tank with the solution, place the empty carafe in the appliance, turn the rotary knob to the Clean position, then press ⏻. The appliance heats to 100 °C and drains the solution. After the cycle, rinse twice with fresh water (about 750 ml). Descaling is recommended every 50 cycles or when the Clean program LEDs flash.

What to do if the screen displays 'NOC' or '----'?

This message appears if the carafe is not correctly placed on the scale, the filter holder is not filled with ground coffee, or the scale has not been tared. Check that the carafe is in place, fill the filter holder with ground coffee, and tare with the Waage button. If the problem persists, the appliance may be scaled; perform descaling.

How to clean the carafe and filter holder?

Let the appliance cool down completely. Remove the used paper filter and grounds. Wash the filter holder, carafe, and filter rest in hot water with mild dish soap. Do not use abrasive sponges. The appliance body can be wiped with a damp cloth. The feeding duct should be checked regularly.

Can the carafe go in the dishwasher?

The manual does not explicitly mention the dishwasher. It is recommended to wash the carafe by hand in hot water with mild dish soap to avoid damage. The silicone sleeve and fixing strap should also be hand washed.

What is the maximum capacity of the carafe?

The carafe has a maximum usable capacity of 750 ml, about 6 cups. Do not fill beyond that. The water tank can hold up to 1000 ml, but the amount of water used for brewing is determined by the set coffee/water ratio.

Can I use the appliance without coffee to heat water?

Yes, the appliance has a 'Wasser' (water) program that allows heating water without coffee. Set the desired temperature between 32 and 100 °C, place the carafe without the filter holder in the appliance, select the Wasser program with the rotary knob, then press ⏻. The heated water flows into the carafe. This program immobilizes the brewing head in the center.

Filling the Water Tank

I. Take off the water tank lid (15).
2. Pour the quantity of water you want (min. 200 ml, max. 1000 ml) into the water tank (14). When you do this, note the MIN and MAX markings on the fill-level indicator (I) on the water tank!
3. Place the water tank lid on the water tank and press it on.

Please Note: The carafe has a useful volume of no more than 750 ml! It must not be overfilled! When brewing coffee, the device only takes the preset amount of water from the water tank (see the “Handling and Operation” chapter – “Mode” and “Coffee / Water Ratio”).

Preparing the Carafe for Brewing Coffee

I. Place the silicone sleeve (7) around the narrow part of the carafe (8).
2. Fix the silicone sleeve to the carafe using the fixing strap (6). Close the fixing strap just like a conventional belt.
3. Insert the filter cone (12) into the carafe.

Preheating Utensils

I. Insert a paper filter (size 2) into the filter cone (12).
2. Boil water and use it to moisten the paper filter. The hot water causes the paper filter to lose its own taste and the filter cone and the carafe (8) are preheated.

1. Pour hot water into your favourite cup and preheat it.
2. Remove the filter cone with paper filter by the tab of the filter cone and pour away the water from the carafe.
3. Insert the filter cone back into the carafe.

  • Never overfill the filter cone.
• Never start the brewing process without the carafe below the outlet.

The practical quick guide on the device helps you to start the first brewing process quickly and easily. Once you have got accustomed to using it, the quick guide can be removed from the device.

Brewing Coffee

The preparation of pour-over coffee is about more than just a quick coffee from time to time. There's a whole philosophy behind the term. It's all about taking time to enjoy the preparation and the freshly brewed coffee to the full. The way in which the coffee powder is infused in the pour-over method is the special feature and also the secret of this method of preparation. Manual pour-over preparation requires a little care, but don't worry – our coffee machine will do this for you! Pour-over coffee with perfectly balanced ingredients – always just as it should be. And even if you are looking after your guests or focusing on your beauty sleep, you do not have to do without fresh pour-over coffee. Our nimble utensil with preset time takes care of the preparation when you are otherwise engaged.

You will find tips on dosage and preparation in our “Tips for the Perfect Pour-Over Coffee” on the following pages.

I. Fill the water tank (14) with water (see the "Preparation" chapter – "Filling the Water Tank").
2. Turn the rotary knob (3) to the position Brühmodus (brew mode). "0 g" is shown on the display.
3. Place the prepared and preheated carafe (8) with filter cone (12) in the main device (13) onto the scale (10) (see the “Preparation” chapter – “Preparing the Carafe for Brewing Coffee” and “Preheating Utensils”).
4. Press the Waage button (9) to reset the scale to zero.
5. Take the carafe with filter cone out of the main device. The display (2) shows the message “----”.

If the carafe has not been placed on the scale or no coffee powder has been poured into the filter cone, the message “NOC” or “----” appears on the display. This means when the brewing process is started the device heats up the water in the water tank, but prevents the dispensing of water.

1. Fill the paper filter with the desired amount of freshly ground coffee.

Tip: A conventional coffee measuring spoon (not supplied with the device) is equivalent to roughly 7 g of coffee powder.

1. Place the carafe with the filled filter cone on the scale in the main device. The amount of coffee is shown in grams on the display.

2. Repeat steps 5 – 7 if necessary until the desired amount of coffee powder has been reached.

3. Press the button ⏻ (4) to start the brewing process. The operating lamp in the ⏻ button starts to flash and the water in the water tank is heated up. You can read off the current temperature of the water on the display.

Once the set brewing temperature has been reached, the water is conveyed from the water tank into the rotating brew head (17) and from there it is distributed in circular movements on the coffee powder in the filter cone. You can read off the amount of brewed coffee in millilitres on the display.

Please Note: The brewing process is divided into two different phases: the swelling ("blooming") and infusion. This means that, after water starts to be dispensed, the device interrupts this again for approx. 30 seconds before the brewing process is continued. In these 30 seconds, the coffee powder can bloom, which is essential for the development of the flavours.

1. The device stops automatically once the amount of water which is stipulated by the coffee / water ratio has run through. Five beeps sound and the operating lamp goes out. The device switches to standby mode.

Please Note: You can end the brewing process at any time by pressing the ⏻ button.

The brew head keeps rotating until the outlet (16) is back in the middle.

II. Wait until all the water has run through the filter cone and then take the carafe out of the main device.

1. Take the coffee filter out of the carafe by the tab and place it in the filter support (II) to allow it to cool down (Picture C).

2. Pour the water out of your preheated cup.

3. Now you can pour the coffee that has been made directly from the carafe.

Enjoy the perfect cup of coffee!

Brewing Coffee with a Preset Time

You have the option of setting a preset time so that the coffee is freshly prepared at the time you want.

To make coffee with a preset time, the clock needs to be set (see the “Handling and Operation” chapter – “Time”).

1. Press the button again to deactivate the preset time. The PROG display goes out and the preset time is no longer active.

The preset time remains stored until a new desired time is set. To reactivate the desired time which is stored, turn the rotary knob to the Programm position and wait until the hours stop flashing. Then press the ⏻ button to activate the preset time.

Boiling Water

You can individually set the temperature to which the water is heated in the Wasser program. You can choose a temperature of between 32 and 100 °C.

I. Fill the water tank (13) with water (see the “Preparation” chapter – “Filling the Water Tank”).

Please Note: The carafe has a useful volume of no more than 750 ml! It must not be overfilled!

1. Place the carafe (8) without the filter cone (12) in the main device (13) on the scale (10).

2. Turn the rotary knob (3) to the position Wasser. An indication of the temperature appears on the display (2).

3. Use the △ and ▽ buttons (5) to set the temperature you want. The selected temperature is shown on the display and is automatically active.

4. Press the button ⏻ (4) to start the heating process. The operating lamp in the ⏻ button starts to flash and the water in the water tank is heated up. You can read off the current temperature of the water on the display.

Once the set temperature has been reached, the water is conveyed from the water tank into the rotating brew head (17) and from there into the carafe.

Please Note: In this program, the brew head does not dispense the water in circular movements, but remains fixed in the middle.

1. The device stops automatically as soon as all the water has been dispensed from the water tank. Five beeps sound and the operating lamp goes out. The device switches to standby mode.

Please Note: You can end the heating process at any time by pressing the ⏻ button.

1. Wait until no more water drips from the outlet (16) and then take the carafe out of the main device.

Tips for the Perfect Pour-Over Coffee

Not all coffee is the same. The taste depends on many different factors – from the method of preparation via the utensils used to the coffee beans themselves.

The pour-over method is particularly suitable for bringing the best out of the valuable ingredients and taste of the coffee beans. Below we have summarised a few of the most important basics for making coffee.

The Type of Coffee

- Even if many factors play a role in the success of the perfect coffee during pour-over preparation, the most important ingredient is of course the coffee bean itself. The taste differs according to the type of coffee, the soil on which the coffee was grown, the growing region and climate, and the roasting process to which the coffee beans were subjected.

- With pour-over coffee the rule is: quality and not quantity! In particular because the coffee prepared with this technique is best enjoyed pure, without milk or sugar, it is worthwhile spending a little more when choosing your coffee beans. We recommend gently roasted, light varieties, as they contain few bitter substances and their own taste is therefore particularly well preserved.

Grinding

- Coffee loses its aroma quickly after grinding. To get the best out of the coffee beans, we recommend that you grind them just before brewing – preferably by hand. The advantage of manual coffee mills is that the grinding fineness can usually be adjusted infinitely and therefore more precisely. In addition, the coffee mills can be cleaned more conveniently, making it easy to switch between different types of coffee.

- The grinding fineness is one of the decisive factors. If it is too fine, the water takes too long to percolate through, which involves a longer brewing time. If the grind is too coarse, the brewing time is too short because the water passes through too quickly. A medium grinding fineness is therefore recommended for the pour-over method. The grain size of conventional table salt can serve as a model. If you want to be on the safe side, let a barista of your choice grind a small portion of the beans and use this as a comparison when grinding at home.

Dosage

- To obtain a successful result, the ratio of coffee powder to water is crucial. If the water content predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If you use too much coffee powder, the coffee becomes too strong. We recommend that you start off with a ratio of 1:17, which is roughly equivalent to 15g of coffee per 250~ml of water. Of course, tastes vary from person to person, so you need to get to know your own ideal ratio.

Water

- Along with the coffee beans, water is the main component of your coffee. You should therefore make sure that the quality of the water you use for brewing your coffee is good. Since tap water is often too hard, we recommend that you use filtered water. For a particularly fine taste you can also use still mineral water. Here, too, you should experiment, because not every mineral water tastes the same.

- In addition to the water quality, the water temperature is also decisive for the taste of your coffee. For best results, pour water at a temperature between 92 and 96 °C over the freshly ground coffee. Always avoid brewing the coffee with boiling water! If the water is too hot, valuable ingredients in the coffee powder can burn, which makes the coffee bitter.

Paper Filter

• The choice of paper filter should not be underestimated. The paper filter thickness can affect the aroma of the coffee. The thinner the paper filter, the fewer particles of the paper filter get into your coffee and the more permeable it is to the coffee aromas.
• In addition, you should always moisten the paper filter before filling it with freshly ground coffee powder. The hot water causes the paper filter to lose its own taste and the coffee filter and the coffee pot are preheated.

For best results we recommend our BEEM Pour Over Paper Filters 100 pcs – Size 2. The natural paper filters are not bleached and are therefore free from artificial substances, so that the taste of your coffee is not negatively affected. Due to their pointed shape they adapt wonderfully to the filter cone and ensure that everything stays in place. They also have a small tab that makes it easier for you to open the paper filters. The paper filters can be obtained from selected specialist stockists, directly via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.

As you can see, in the preparation of pour-over coffee there are many variables that can influence the final result. Therefore it is important for you to enjoy the process of experimentation until you have found the perfect mixture for you.

Cleaning and Care

PLEASE NOTE!

- Do not use any toxic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring sponges to clean the device. These can damage the surface.

I. Wait until the device has completely cooled down.
2. Take the paper filter with the coffee grounds out of the filter cone (12).
3. Clean the filter cone, the carafe (8) and the filter support (11) with mild detergent and warm water.
4. Wipe down the housing of the main device (13) with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little mild detergent to remove more intense soiling.
5. Check the connection regularly for any damage.

Descaling

Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the coffee, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. The thicker a limescale layer is, the more difficult it is to remove.

After 50 brewing processes, the LED of the Clean program starts to flash, indicating that the device needs to be descaled.

For descaling we recommend the BEEM premium descaler concentrate. The efficient, food-safe and environmentally friendly BEEM premium descaler concentrate is available from selected specialist stockists, via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.

Descaling with the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate

With the Clean program, the high temperature may cause a little water to splash out of the water tank (14) at the end of the boiling process.

I. Fill the water tank with a concentrate/water solution of no more than 1:20 (one part concentrate to 20 parts water) (see the “Preparation” chapter – “Filling the Water Tank”).
Please Note: The carafe has a useful volume of no more than 750 ml! It must not be overfilled!

1. Place the carafe (8) in the main device (13) on the scale (10).

2. Turn the rotary knob (3) to the Clean position. The temperature “100 °C” appears on the display.

3. Press the button ⏻ (4) to start the heating process. The operating lamp in the ⏻ button starts to flash and the water in the water tank is heated up. You can read off the current temperature of the water on the display.

Once the temperature of 100 °C has been reached, the water is conveyed from the water tank into the rotating brew head (17) and from there in circular movements into the carafe.

1. The device stops automatically as soon as all the water has been dispensed from the water tank. Five beeps sound and the operating lamp goes out. The device switches to standby mode.

The brew head keeps rotating until the outlet (16) is back in the middle.

1. To rinse the device, allow two tankfuls (approx. 750 ml each) of clear water to run through it and then clean the carafe (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter). The device is now descaled and ready to be used again.

Storage

Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged period. Clean the device again if necessary (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter) and let it dry completely.

Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost-free place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.

Troubleshooting

If the device does not work properly, check whether you are able to rectify the problem yourself. If the problem cannot be solved with the steps that are listed, contact the customer service department.
