Gevi CM4008-V 4-Cup Drip Coffee Machine

Please read all the owner’s instruction booklet before use.

Delicious Coﬀee Made Easily

Drip coﬀee machines are essentially automatic pour-over machines, and with pour-over coﬀee experiencing a resurgence, now might be the perfect time to try a drip coﬀee machine. The Gevi drip coﬀee machine gets going with the ﬂip of the ON/OFF button, heating water to the optimal temperature for full ﬂavor extraction. Coﬀee brews into the improved glass carafe that is engineered for comfortable handling and drip-free pouring. All you need to do is sit back, sip and enjoy! Its compact design makes it small enough to be used for a small household or second home, without sacriﬁcing the features we love. Its Grab-A-Cup auto-pause capability allows you to pour a cup before the brewing cycle is ﬁnished.

Important Safeguards

To reduce the risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical machines, including the following:

Read all instructions.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against ﬁre, electric shock, and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs, base, or kettle in water or other liquid.
Close supervision is necessary when the machine is used by or near any children.
Turn the coﬀee machine OFF and unplug the power cord from the power source when the coﬀee machine is not in use and before cleaning. Allow the coﬀee machine parts to cool down before putting on or taking oﬀ parts and before cleaning the machine.
Do not operate any machine with a damaged cord or plug or after the machine malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the machine to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the machine manufacturer may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Do not use outdoors. For household use only.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Always attach the plug to the machine ﬁrst, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to oﬀ position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Do not use the machine for other than intended use.
Scalding may occur if the lid is removed during brewing cycles. Be careful not to get burned by the steam.
Never use the machine if the carafe shows any signs of cracks or carafe having a loose or weakened handle. The glass carafe is designed for use with this machine only. It must never be used on the range top.
The container is designed for use with this machine. It must never be used on a range top. (Unless speciﬁc instructions for use on a range top are provided and include the precautions to be observed).
Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface.
Do not use a cracked container or a container having a loose or weakened handle.
Do not clean the container with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.

North American models with grounded plugs:

POLARIZED PLUG

This machine has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug ﬁts loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) may be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long detachable power- supply cord or extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the machine;
If the machine is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type cord;
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Do not pull, twist, or otherwise abuse the power cord.

PRODUCT NOTICES

Place the machine on a hard, ﬂat, level surface to avoid interruption of airﬂow underneath the machine.
Do not operate the machine with an empty water tank.

Do not immerse the coffee machine in water or any other liquid.

Step 5 – Install Accessories

Insert the permanent filter into the filter insert.
Install the filter insert by aligning its handle with the groove on the filter basket.

Step 6 – Test

Fill the glass carafe with fresh and clean water. Do not exceed the mark.
Pour the water from the carafe into the water tank.
Close the one-piece cover securely.
Hold the handle and place the glass carafe onto the warming plate.
Insert the power plug into a 120V AC power outlet.
Press the ON/OFF button to the“ I ” position to switch on the coffee machine, and the ON/OFF indicator will illuminate.
After all water has passed through, press the ON/OFF button again to the “ O ” position to turn off the coffee machine.
Take the coffee carafe out from the coffee machine.
Pour away the water to empty the carafe. Repeat 1-9 for 2 times to clean the flow channel.

NOTE

Make sure that the water tank is clean & free of any debris, as any fine particles can block the water flow and damage the machine.
Brew water through the machine without adding powder. This removes any dust or residue that may remain in the system during the manufacturing process.
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 cover closed, water may escape.
Coffee may overflow if the carafe cover is not properly aligned.
As our coffee machine is equipped with a UL plug and can work normally only when connected to a voltage of 100-120V, to prevent burning out, do not connect the coffee machine with any improper power supply. (If the coffee machine is not connected to a voltage of 100-120V, you have to make sure an adapter is being used, otherwise it will not function normally or even could be burnt out).

The Quest For Perfect Coffee

Filling Water

Coﬀee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coﬀee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coﬀee. Every time use water and ensure that water has removed chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, for the purest coﬀee ﬂavor, every time you brew. Do not pour hot water, milk, ground coﬀee, or tea into the water tank.

Do not let foreign objects enter the water tank.
We recommend using pure water.
The numbers(cup quantity) marked on the carafe correspond to that on the water tank. You can add water to the carafe and then ﬁll it in the water tank.
Do not add more than a maximum of 4 cups of water into the water tank, otherwise, the water will leak from the overﬂow hole of the water tank.

Roast Degree of Coﬀee Beans

We recommend using light or medium roasted coﬀee beans or pre-ground coﬀee for making drip coﬀee. There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure the best grinding results, high-quality beans are recommended. The buildup of oils may occur more frequently if dark roasted coﬀee beans are used. Clean the coﬀee machine and ﬁlter more often when using oily beans.
Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time due to the use of freshly roasted coﬀee beans with a roasted on’ date to maximize ﬂavor, not a use-by or best-before date.
Store coﬀee beans in a dark, cool, and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.

Grind Size
We recommend medium size coﬀee grinds. If the coﬀee grinds are too ﬁne, over-extraction and bitterness will result. Too ﬁne coﬀee grinds may also clog the ﬁlter and even ﬂow into the carafe to aﬀect the taste. If the coﬀee grinds are too coarse, under-extraction will occur and the ﬂavor will be weak.

Grind Dose

We recommend 10g of coﬀee grinds for one cup, but do not add more than 40g of grinds to the ﬁlter.
Use the supplied measuring spoon for measuring coﬀee amounts. Refer to the following table for your required amounts:
Recommended Amounts Of Coﬀee

2 CUPS| 20g (4 Tablespoons)
3 CUPS| 30g (6 Tablespoons)
4 CUPS| 40g (8 Tablespoons)

TIPS
We recommend 10g or 2 ﬂat spoons of coﬀee grinds for 1 cup of coﬀee, but you may adjust according to your taste.

Choosing Filter

You can use either the permanent ﬁlter we provided or a disposable paper ﬁlter for making coﬀee but do not use them together to avoid blockage.
After choosing the ﬁlter, assemble it closely with the ﬁlter insert, and ensure they are installed into the ﬁlter basket properly.

Water Volume
The amount of water added to the water tank should correspond to the cup quantity of coﬀee grinds, for example, if you add 20g of coﬀee grinds you should add 2 cups of water, otherwise, the machine will ﬁnish boiling all the water in the water tank, which will make the coﬀee weak. If you want a bold coﬀee, you can add 1.5 cups of water.

Closing the Cover
Firmly close the one-piece cover to prevent steam from escaping out to avoid scalding.

Placing Carafe

Close the lid of the carafe and make sure the lid is upping against the ﬁlter insert’s drip stop.

TIPS
Do not make coﬀee with used coﬀee grinds as this will greatly reduce the ﬂavor. Reheating coﬀee is not recommended as coﬀee is at its peak ﬂavor immediately after brewing.

Operation Guide

Hold the handle and take the coﬀee carafe out from the coﬀee machine.
Fill the glass carafe with fresh and clean water. Do not exceed the mar-king.
Hold the coffee machine and open the one-piece cover.
Pour the water from the carafe into the water tank.
Check whether the machine has a filter insert together with the permanent filter or disposable filter paper (do not use the permanent filter & filter paper together).
Add your desired amount of coffee powder into the filter but do not exceed 40g.
Close the one-piece cover securely.
Hold the handle and place the glass carafe onto the warming plate.
Insert the power plug into a 120V AC power outlet.
Press the ON/OFF button to the“ I ” position to switch on the c coffee machine, and the ON/OFF indicator will illuminate.
The coffee machine will begin the brewing cycle.
In a few minutes, your coffee machine will finish brewing fresh coffee, and the water in the water tank will run out.
The coffee machine will automatically keep your coffee warm after it finishes brewing. Shut it down by pressing the ON/OFF button. For a better taste, enjoy the coffee within 1 hour.
Remove the coffee carafe.
Open the one-piece cover to take out the filter and filter insert with drip stop.
Take out the filter and discard the used coffee grinds.
Clean the filter with water and dry it.
Note
Keep your body away from the steam outlet of the coﬀee machine cover to avoid scalding.
Do not open the one-piece cover to prevent steam from escaping out to avoid scalding.
Do not place parts of the body under the drip stop while the machine is in operation.
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.
Clean the filter insert with drip stop with water and dry it. If the drip stop is detached from the filter insert, reinstall it properly.
Put the permanent ﬁlter back into the ﬁlter insert with drip stop.
Wipe the ﬁlter basket and showerhead with a clean dry cloth.
Put the filter insert with drip stop and permanent filter back onto the machine correctly.
Wipe the outside of the machine with a semidry cloth.
Wait for 10 minutes to let the machine cool down, and wipe the warming plate.
Rinse the coffee carafe with clean water.
Put the coffee carafe back on the machine.

TIPS
To achieve a better taste, we suggest completing the above cleaning steps 14-21 before each brewing.

Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause Feature

Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause is a lifesaver when you need a cup before the brew cycle is finished. It stops brewing so you can pour a rich-tasting cup and then finishes the brewing cycle after you place the carafe back in position.
Replace the carafe within 30 seconds to avoid any overflow without making a mess. If coffee drips onto the warming plate, the drip stop might be not completely closed. In this case, immediately place the carafe back into the machine and let all the coffee flow into the carafe.
Be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle differs from coffee made at the end.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Before Use

Do not let foreign objects enter the water tank.
We recommend using pure water.
The numbers(cup quantity) marked on the carafe correspond to that on the water tank. You can add water to the carafe and then ﬁll it in the water tank.
Do not add more than a maximum of 4 cups of water into the water tank, otherwise, the water will leak from the overﬂow hole of the water tank.
Ensure your coﬀee is made by fulfilling the following 8 requirements, For a detailed guide, refer to 5.1-5.8 in section “5. The Quest for Perfect Coﬀee”, page 13. 6 – Do not make coﬀee with used coﬀee grinds as this will greatly reduce the ﬂavor. Reheating coﬀee is not recommended as coﬀee is at its peak ﬂavor immediately after brewing.

In Use

Keep your body away from the steam outlet of the coﬀee machine cover to avoid scalding.
Do not open the one-piece cover to prevent steam from escaping out to avoid scalding.
Do not place parts of the body under the drip stop while the machine is in operation. 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

If you add 4 cups of water in the carafe to the water tank, it is normal that the amount of coﬀee produced is less than the “4” cup marking on the carafe, because some water evaporated and some has been absorbed by the coﬀee grinds.
Enjoy your coﬀee at its peak ﬂavor after it’s freshly brewed. Brew your coﬀee separately several times if you want a big amount but cannot drink up once.
After brewing the machine will automatically switch to warm keeping, and you can ﬂip the ON/OFF button to the “O” position to turn the machine oﬀ. The machine will continuously keep your coﬀee warm until it is turned oﬀ.
To pour coﬀee from the carafe, you need to press its lid close with your ﬁngers, and slowly tilt its bottom to a 45-degree angle to let the coﬀee ﬂow out.
Please strictly follow the instructions and requirements below to clean the machine and its accessories, otherwise, the ﬂavors of your coﬀee will be aﬀec-ted or the lifespan of the machine will be shortened.

After Each Brew
Make sure to clean the coﬀee grinds from the ﬁlter after each use, as some older coﬀee grinds may be sitting inside your machine and will affect the quality of your next batch. For an operation guide, refer to page 16, steps 14-25 in section“ 6. Operation Guide ”.
