The Pause-And-Pour Function:
The appliance is designed with a pause-and-pour feature letting you temporarily
remove the glass carafe at any time during the brewing cycle without interrupting
it or causing coffee to drip from the appliance. To restart the brewing cycle after
making use of this feature, simply replace the glass carafe onto the warming plate.
Note: The pause-and-pour feature is applicable for a maximum of 30 seconds.
Removing the carafe for longer than 30 seconds will cause the coffee to overflow
the filter, leading to spillages.
CAUTION! Never return the empty glass carafe onto the warming plate when it is
still warm.
Serving Your Coffee:
When the unit has finished brewing, remove the glass carafe to serve. For great-
tasting coffee, pour directly after brewing.
Note: The volume of coffee brewed will be less than the amount of water first
added as some water will be absorbed during the brewing process.
CAUTION! When pouring, do not angle the carafe beyond a safe angle. We
recommend no more than 45 degrees from the vertical position. Pour the coffee
slowly until the glass carafe is empty, to prevent the coffee from rushing into the
lid and flowing out from both edges of the lid. This will help avoid spillages and
minimise the risk of scalding.
Always turn the coffee maker off and unplug it from the mains when not in use.
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee:
1. A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly
clean the coffee maker as specified in the “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE”
section. Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
2. Store unused coffee powder in a cool, dry place. After opening a packet of
coffee powder reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its
freshness.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them
just before brewing.
4. Do not reuse coffee powder since this will greatly reduce the coffee flavour.
5. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour
immediately after brewing.
6. Over-extraction will eventually cause your coffee maker to become oily, and
small oil droplets to appear on the surface of brewed, black coffee as a result.
When this occurs, clean your coffee maker as detailed in the ‘Cleaning and
Care’ section below.
7. The use of heavily roasted coffees increases the likelihood of the coffee maker
becoming oily.
