Product Information

• Specifications:
  • Model: GECMA025AK-U
  • Type: 2-in-1 Smart Drip Coffee Machine
  • Components: Grinder, Brewer

Product Usage Instructions

• Before Use:
  • A. It is recommended to use pure water. Do not let other objects enter the water tank, and cover the lid in time after adding water.
  • B. Please fill enough water in the water tank but do not exceed the 10-cup marking. Adding too much water can cause coffee to overflow from the carafe. Avoid adding too little water, as it may result in a loud noise from the water pump when the water runs out and affect the coffee effect.
  • C. Ensure that coffee is made according to the following requirements:
  • Bean Requirements
  • Roast Degree of Coffee Beans
  • Grind Size
  • Suitable Filter
  • Powder Dose
  • a. It is recommended to use 7g or 1 spoon of powder for 1 cup of coffee, but you may adjust according to personal taste.
  • b. The machine can brew up to 10 cups of coffee. Set the powder amount (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 cups) by pressing the POWDER 2 – 10 button according to your need (The default value is 10 cups). Use the supplied Measuring Spoon for this purpose. Refer to the following table for the required amount:

Water Amount:

• a. The cup markings on the carafe are the same as those on the water tank. The amount of water added should be the same as the amount of powder cup you choose. For example, if you added 2 cups of water, you should add 2 cups of powder. Adding more water than the number of cups you choose will result in weak coffee because the machine will brew all the water in the tank.
• b. If you have set a strong flavor but the coffee tastes weak, we suggest you add less amount of water and more powder. For example, select POWDER 2-10 Button for 4 cups but add 2 cups of water to make the flavor stronger.
• c. The coffee you get would be less than the water you pour in as some water had been absorbed by the coffee powder.

Use Carafe:

• Always make sure that the carafe is transported in an upright position.
• If you turn the carafe on its side or upside down with its lid closed, hot coffee may escape.
• When the water capacity of the coffee carafe is large, be sure to press the edge of the lid with your thumb and pour the water at the correct angle.

Enjoy Your Coffee:

• For a better taste, please enjoy the coffee within 1 hour.

FAQs

  • A: It is recommended to use 7g or 1 spoon of powder for 1 cup of coffee. However, you may adjust the amount according to your taste.
• Q: Can I brew less than 10 cups of coffee?
  • A: Yes, the machine allows you to set the powder amount for 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 cups of coffee. Use the POWDER 2-10 button to adjust the amount according to your need.
• Q: How long can I keep the brewed coffee?
  • A: For a better taste, it is recommended to enjoy the coffee within 1 hour.

Before Use

• A. It is recommended to use pure water; Do not let other objects enter the water tank, and cover the lid in time after adding water.
• B. Please fill enough water in the water tank but do not past the 10-cup marking. Doing so can cause coffee to overflow from the carafe. Do not add too little water, otherwise, when the water runs out the water pump will make a loud noise and affect the coffee effect.
• C. Ensure that coffee is made according to the 8 requirements.

1. Bean Requirements

   • a. Add an appropriate amount of coffee beans, no more than 250g each time, because the coffee beans will become wet overnight. After adding the coffee beans, close the lid again and press down hard to prevent water from entering the bean box.
   • b. We recommend quality beans with a ‘Roasted On’ date stamped on the bag, not a ‘Best Before’ or ‘Use By’ date. Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time. Coffee beans are best consumed between 5‒20 days after the ‘Roasted On’ date. Stale coffee may pour too quickly and taste bitter and watery.
   • c. Do not fill the bean container with frozen or coated beans, moisture will seep into the burr and feed through.
   • d. Do not add any liquid flavorings or syrups to the beans.

2. Roast Degree of Coffee Beans

   • We recommend medium-roast coffee beans, this machine is not suitable for deep-roasted beans. Dark, greasy beans can leave some greasy residue in the burrs and feeder channels. The oil residue can cause the ground coffee to stick in the feeder passages and clog.
   • Over time, this slows down the flow of ground coffee. The amount of ground coffee beans is controlled by the selection of coffee cups for grinding time. Therefore, it will not grind all the beans at one time. If it continues to develop, the ground beans will not reach the required fineness, and eventually, the motor will get stuck and cannot rotate, resulting in burnout.

3. Grind Size

   • The built-in grinder comes with 8 grind settings for different needs for powder sizes.  Set the grind size that you need. Turn the regulator anticlockwise to go coarser and clockwise to go finer.  If you want to adjust the grind size setting, there are some notes listed below you need to be aware of:
   • a. When you want to adjust a fine setting to a coarser setting, just rotate the Grind Regulator directly before grinding
   • b. When you want to adjust a coarse setting to a finer setting.
     • Situation 1: If there are no coffee beans inside the grinder, you can rotate the Grind Regulator directly to achieve your setting.
     • Situation 2: If there are coffee beans inside the grinder, you cannot rotate the Grind Regulator forcibly, otherwise, grinder damage may occur. In this case, you can either grind all the coffee beans inside the grinder and then adjust the grind setting, or grind beans and rotate the Grind Regulator simultaneously to achieve your fine setting.

4. Suitable Filter

   • a. Permanent filter is reusable for brewing coffee, you also can use a disposable coffee filter instead of a permanent filter. The permanent filter and filter paper cannot be used at the same time.
   • b. The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 70g of coffee powder. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.
   • c. Be sure the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket, so it does not interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket.
   • d. Pace a basket paper filter in the Filter Insert, making sure the filter is completely open and touching the side walls and bottom of the filter Insert.

5. Powder Dose

   • a. 7g or 1 spoon of powder for 1 cup of coffee is recommended, but you may adjust according to personal taste.
   • b. Can brew up to 10 cups of coffee.Set the powder amount (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 cups) by pressing the POWDER 2 – 10 button according to your need(The default value is 10 cups).Use the supplied Measuring Spoon for this purpose. Refer to the following table for the required amount:
     Number of cups| Number of scoops
     ---|---
     2| 1½ – 2
     4| 3 – 4
     6| 4½ – 6
     8| 6 – 8
     10| 8 – 10

6. Water Amount
   

   • a. The cup markings on the carafe are the same as that on the water tank. The amount of water added should be the same as the amount of powder cup you choose, such as you added 2 cups of water and you should add 2 cups of powder. If you pour more water than the number of cups you choose, it will cause the coffee to become weak(because the machine will brew all the water in the tank).
   • b. If you have set a strong flavor but the coffee tastes weak. We suggest you add less amount of water and more powder. (e.g. select POWDER 2-10 Button for 4 cups but add 2 cups of water, the flavor will be stronger).
   • c. The coffee you get would be less than the water you pour in as some water had been absorbed by the coffee powder.

7. Use Carafe

   • Always make sure that the carafe is transported in an upright position. If you turn the carafe on its side or upside down with its lid closed, hot coffee may escape.
   • When the water capacity of the coffee carafe is large, be sure to press the edge of the lid with your thumb and pour the water at the correct angle.

8. Enjoy Your Coffee

   • For a better taste, please enjoy the coffee within 1 hour.

In Use

• A. Do not place parts of the body under the drip stop while the machine is in operation.
• B. Do not open the Swing-out Filter Basket, otherwise, the steam will wet the powder at the powder outlet and damage the grinding system.
• C. While the coffee is brewing you can remove the carafe to pour a cup or two. The drip stop will close automatically. To avoid any overflow, replace the carafe within 30 seconds.

After Use

• After regular use, water can cause mineral build-up in and on many of the inner functioning components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing temperature, power of the machine, and the taste of the coffee, or even shortening the lifespan of your machine.
• At the same time, the coffee beans can leave some greasy residue on the burrs and in the feeder channels.
• The oil residue can cause the coffee grinds to stick in the feeder channels and lead to a clog. Over time, this slows down the flow of coffee grinds. The amount of coffee grinds is controlled by the selection of cup quantity or grinding time.
• So you will find that fewer and fewer coffee grinds would be produced by grinding with the same cup setting or time setting.
• Therefore please strictly follow the instructions and requirements below to clean the coffee-brewing part and bean-grinding part and its accessories to keep your machine’s best performance and your coffee taste.
