Low water indicator K
This coffee machine senses if the water
volume in the water tank is low (less than
approx. 4 cups). If the water level is low,
Klights up and the machine automatically
increases the brewing time. This ensures
that the coffee retains its ideal flavour.
Coffee-making tips
Store ground coffee in a cool place; you can
also freeze it. Once a package of coffee has
been opened, close it tightly to maintain its
aroma.
How the coffee beans are roasted affects
their taste and aroma.
Darker roast = more flavour
Lighter roast = more acidity
