   • The warming plate will keep the brewed coffee warm for approximately 40 minutes. The display will count upwards from 0 to show how long the coffee has been on the warming plate.

Concentrate (shot)
The concentrate selection makes an extra-strength ‘shot’ of coffee that can be used like an espresso to drink on its own or used to make barista-style drinks (latte, cappuccino, etc.) You can make it in small or large cup sizes. A small cup gives approximately 118 ml of concentrate. A large cup gives approximately 148 ml.

1. Prepare your coffee maker.
2. Add the coffee to the filter. For a small cup, use 2-level scoops; for a travel mug, use 2-3 level scoops.
3. Tap the concentrate strength icon.
4. Use the select/confirm knob to select a single cup or a travel mug .
5. Place a small cup onto the cup platform.
6. When ready, press the select/confirm knob to start the brewing cycle.
7. To cancel the brewing cycle at any time, touch and hold the cancel B icon for 1 second.

Making ECBC Coffee
Your coffee maker is capable of making coffee to the exacting standards of the European Coffee Brewing Centre (ECBC) and carries their prestigious gold seal of approval. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Fill the reservoir to the 1.25l marking.
2. Add 75 grams of coffee into the filter. For 1.0l of water add 60g of coffee.
3. Place the carafe onto the warming plate.
4. Tap the regular strength icon.
5. Use the select/confirm knob to select Full Carafe.
6. Press the select/confirm knob to start the brewing cycle.

COLD BREWING

Cold brewing is a method of brewing coffee using cold water to slowly extract the flavor from the ground coffee. This gives a smoother, sweeter flavor that can last in the fridge for up to a week without becoming bitter. Cold brewed coffee can be enjoyed as a cold drink, or you can use it as a concentrate adding hot water to create a traditional but smooth hot coffee. You can add milk, frothed milk, sugar – even soda water for a fizzy cold coffee! It can also be used as an ingredient in cooking and cocktails.
Use the cold brew filter to make cold brew coffee.

1. Open the cold brew filter lid and add coffee (Fig H). Close the lid when finished.
   Icon| Scoops of coffee (level)

2. Remove the carafe lid and fit the cold brew filter into the carafe (Fig. J).
3. Place the carafe onto the warming plate.
4. Tap the cold brew icon.
5. Use the select/confirm knob to select full or half carafe as required.
6. When ready, press the select/confirm knob to start the brewing cycle.
7. To cancel the brewing cycle at any time, touch and hold the cancel icon for 1 second.

Notes

• IMPORTANT: During cold brewing, cold water is pumped intermittently with pauses of up to 30 seconds between pumping cycles. This is to wet the ground coffee slowly to ensure the best extraction of flavor and aroma.
• Once brewed, you can leave the carafe on the warming plate (which will be switched off), or you can place the carafe in the fridge. However, placing the brew in the fridge can slow down the extraction process.
• We recommend leaving the brew for approximately 8-12 hours for it to develop its full flavor. Longer periods than this are permissible.
• If you are making a cold brew that you want to keep and use over a period of time, then put the carafe into the fridge. You can also transfer the brew to another container if you want to use the carafe for normal brewing.
• The coffee quantities listed are for guidance only. We recommend that you experiment to find the amount that suits you.

MILK FROTHER
Frothed milk is used in many barista-style coffee drinks like latte, cappuccino, etc. The built-in milk frother aerates the milk to produce a thick foam making it lighter in texture and increasing its volume.

1. Press the top of the milk frother to release it (Fig. K) then swing the milk frother out.
2. Put the milk into a small jug or something similar and hold it under the milk frother until it is immersed in the milk.
3. Press and hold the button on the top of the milk frother to activate it (Fig. L). Use long presses and make circular motions with the jug until the desired result is achieved.

Cleaning the milk frother after use

1. Clean the milk frother after every use.
2. Immerse the milk frother in a cup of clean water.
3. Press the button several times to activate it.
4. Repeat several times if necessary.
5. Swivel the milk frother into its compartment and press it until it clicks into place.
   • You can also remove the lower section of the milk frother for cleaning. Twist the shaft to the left and pull it away from the button section (Fig. M). To replace, fit the shaft over the button section and twist it to the right to lock it.

USING THE TIMER
The timer can be used to make coffee at a predetermined time. The clock needs to be set to the correct time before you can use the timer function.

1. Prepare your coffee maker as required.
2. Tap the setting icon.
3. Tap the timer icon. The display will slowly flash.
4. Turn the select/confirm knob until the time you want your coffee maker to start is displayed. Turning the knob slowly will increase or decrease the time in 1-minute steps. Turning it quickly will change the time in 15-minute steps.
5. Press the select/confirm knob to accept the time.
6. The display will stop flashing and return to show the current time.
7. The Timer icon will be lit to show that you have set the timer.
8. To cancel the timer at any time, tap the cancel B icon.

ANTI-DRIP
The anti-drip lever closes a valve to prevent any drips from splashing onto the warming plate when you remove the carafe.

• Moving the lever to the left will close the valve and the anti-drip icon will be displayed.
• Moving the lever to the right will open the valve and the icon will go out.
• If you attempt to brew coffee when the lever is in the closed position, your coffee maker will sound an alert tone and the icon will flash until you open the valve.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

1. Unplug the appliance and let it completely cool down.
2. Clean the exterior surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and then dry them thoroughly.
3. Remove the filter and filter holder and empty out the coffee grounds. Wash under running water and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe the filter holder compartment with kitchen paper.
5. The bottom cap of the cold brew filter can be removed to assist in cleaning. Twist it clockwise to unlock and remove. Twist it counterclockwise to lock.

Descaling
After approximately 60 cycles, the cleaning icon will pulse on and off indicating that the unit should be cleaned/descaled. This is a warning and will not affect coffee making. You can temporarily cancel the warning by tapping the cancel icon, but to reset the cycle count, you need to run the cleaning function. We recommend descaling your coffee maker regularly to maintain performance.
Never use a descaling product based on mineral acids such as sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphamic acid, and acetic acid (e.g. vinegar). These descalers may damage the machine. Use a descaling product recommended for appliances with plastic parts.
Products returned under guarantee with faults due to scale will be subject to a repair charge.

• Descale your product regularly depending on your water’s lime content and frequency of use.
• Use a proprietary descaling product and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and prepare the descaling solution. Add it to the water tank (not exceeding the 10-15 markings), and place the carafe onto the warming plate.
2. Tap the settings icon.
3. Tap the cleaning icon. The icon will light up.
4. Press the select/confirm knob to start the cleaning cycle.
5. Your coffee maker will stop and start during the cleaning process. This is normal. When the water tank is empty, the cycle will stop.
6. Discard the water in the carafe.
7. After descaling, rinse your coffee maker several times by brewing water with no coffee. This will remove any descaler residue.
   • To cancel the cleaning cycle before it has ended normally, touch and hold the cancel B icon for 1 second.
