Before preparing coffee for the first time

• Make sure that the supply voltage in your household complies with the voltage specified on the type plate on the bottom of the appliance.
•  Install the appliance on a dry, flat and stable surface.
•  Only connect the appliance to a correctly installed earthed mains socket.
• All appliances are tested for proper working order during production. This may leave behind traces of water, for example.
• Rinse the appliance twice with clean water before preparing coffee for the first time. Do not use any filters while doing so and proceed as follows:
• Activate the appliance. Press and hold the BREW button a for more than 1 second. The BREW button starts to flash rapidly.
• Fill the water tank up to the 8-cup mark. The removable tank can be filled straight from the water tap b. Alternatively, you can also fill water directly into the tank in the appliance by using the glass jug c. You can read the quantity of water required on the scale on the tank d.
• Check whether the filter holder is placed correctly in the intended position underneath the outlet and has been pushed into the mount on the appliance correctly e. Then start the appliance by pressing the BREW button briefly (<1 sec.). The BREW button will now flash slowly. After a brief warm-up period, water will flow out of the outlet into the filter holder.
•  A signal tone will indicate that the water has flowed through completely. Empty the jug and switch off the keep-warm plate by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.).
•  Repeat the described steps one more time. After a brief cooling period, you can then use the appliance to prepare coffee for the first time.

Coffee preparation

Preparation

•  Fill the water tank with the required water quantity. The removable tank can be filled straight from the water tap b. Alternatively, you can also fill water directly into the tank in the appliance by using the glass jug c. You can read the required quantity of water required on the scale on the tank d.

• Pull the filter holder vertically from its mounting
  on the appliance e and insert a filter paper f. For good flavour and optimum fitting in the filter holder, we recommend using Melitta® Filter Papers® 1×4®.

• Put ground coffee into the filter paper g according to your taste and the number of cups required. Then smooth the surface of the coffee powder as much as possible. If possible, weigh 7 to 8 g freshly ground coffee per cup.
  Light to medium roasts with a medium grinding fineness are particularly suited to filter coffee preparation. epour® has been checked according to the ECBC standards (www.ecbc.info) and fulfils the demanding conditions of the “Coffee Brewer Certification Programme” in terms of coffee quality.

•  Push the filter holder back into the appliance moun-ting h. Make sure that it engages audibly.

Brewing

• Activate the appliance. Press and hold the BREW button a for more than 1 second. The BREW button starts to flash rapidly.

• We recommend pre-brewing the coffee (“blooming”) for the best results. Briefly pressing (<1 sec.) the PRE-BREW button i before the start of brewing activates this setting for the subsequent coffee preparation. The PRE-BREW button lights up continuously and the water flow is stopped briefly at the start of brewing after initial damping of the coffee. Press again to deactivate pre-brewing. The last setting is stored for the next preparation.

• Start the coffee preparation by pressing the BREW button a briefly (<1 sec.). The BREW button now starts to flash slowly.

•   Note: If you hear a brief signal sound three times during this process, there is no water in the water tank. If you are unable to start brewing and hear three short signal sounds despite the water tank being full, lift the water tank slightly and fit it back into the appliance. This removes any air bubbles which may possibly have formed during filling.

• During brewing, the water is heated and flows via the rotating outlet onto the coffee powder j. Different brewing profiles are stored in the appliance for the different preparation quantities of 2 to 8 cups. Depending on the quantity of water filled, the rotation directions and times are adapted so that the coffee powder is always dampened in an optimum way.
  Note: It is also possible to manually control the direction and time of the rotation during brewing
  (see “3.3 Manual extraction control”).

•  You will hear a brief signal sound at the end of preparation. The BREW button will now light up continuously to indicate the warm-keeping phase.

• The keep-warm plate will keep the coffee hot and then switch off automatically after 40 minutes to avoid unnecessary power consumption. You can, of course, switch off the appliance manually at any time by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.).

• The drip stop on the filter holder prevents coffee continuing to drip when you remove the jug from the appliance.

•  The removable filter holder allows you to dispose of the filter paper easily and trouble-free.

Manual extraction control

• Manual extraction control is possible after the outlet starts to rotate
• A long press (>1 sec.) of the CONTROL button k switches on manual extraction control. The button lights up.
• Pressing the CONTROL button briefly (<1 sec.) allows you to then change the rotation direction of the outlet manually. You can change the direction of rotation as many times as you want.
• The manual extraction control is ended again by pressing the CONTROL button longer (>1 sec.). The extraction control is automatic again.

Using a custom brewing profile  (“Barista Mode”)

The brewing profiles stored for the preparation quantities or number of cups are suitable for preparing numerous different types of coffee. Furthermore, the manual extraction control described in “3.3” allows the rotation direction and time to be also changed.
This change does not affect the stored brewing profiles.
You can, however, create one custom brewing profile for a specific number of cups, store it and call it up again later

•  First fill the appliance with the required quantity of water and coffee.
• Activate the appliance with a long press (>1 sec.) on the BREW button. The BREW button starts to flash rapidly.
• Pressing the BREW and CONTROL buttons simultaneously for longer starts brewing to store a custom brewing profile (“Barista Mode”). The BREW and CONTROL buttons will start flashing rapidly at the same time and the outlet will start to rotate. Important: If a custom brewing profile has previously been stored, it will be deleted by this process.
• You can now control the damping of the coffee powder yourself by pressing the CONTROL button briefly (<1 sec.) to change the direction of rotation.
•  If necessary, you can also program a blooming pause. Briefly pressing (<1 sec.) the PRE-BREW button interrupts the brewing process and pressing the PRE-BREW button again restarts it. You can now continue controlling the brewing process again with the CONTROL button.
• If the water tank is empty, the heater will switch off and the BREW button will light up continuously. At the same time, the CONTROL button will start to flash for 20 seconds. Pressing the CONTROL button for longer (>1 sec.) within the 20 seconds stores the custom brewing profile.
•  If you want to call up the stored custom brewing profile at a later time, first activate the appliance as usual by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.). The BREW button starts to flash rapidly. Pressing the CONTROL button for longer (>1 sec.) calls up the custom brewing profile. The CONTROL button will now also start to flash rapidly.
• Brewing is started with a short press (<1 sec.) of the BREW button. The BREW and the CONTROL button both start to flash slowly.
• Final note: You can cancel the creation of an individual brewing profile in “Barista Mode” by simultaneously pressing the BREW and CONTROL buttons for longer.

Warm-keeping/automatic switch-off

The taste of coffee changes when it is kept warm for longer periods. To prevent this, you should enjoy your coffee as fresh as possible immediately after brewing. Furthermore, unnecessarily keeping the coffee warm costs valuable energy.
If you still want to keep the coffee warm, the appliance will automatically switch off 40 minutes after the brewing process ends.
The BREW button is lit up continuously during warm-keeping. You can also switch off the keep-warm plate manually by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.).
If the appliance is not used, it will switch off automatically after 5 minutes.
You can then activate the appliance again by pressing the BREW button (>1 sec.).

Descaling

Limescale in the appliance increases with each brewing process depending on the hardness of the water that is used. This is indicated by the CALC display l lighting up red. The appliance should be descaled at re-gular intervals or, at the latest, when the CALC display lights up. Please use a commercially available descaling agent to do this.
We recommend using Melitta® “Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee & Aqua Machines“.
Descaling process

• Prepare the descaling fluid as specified by the manufacturer and pour it into the water tank.
• Place the jug on the keep-warm plate and place the filter holder in the intended position underneath the outlet.
• Activate the appliance by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.) as for coffee preparation.
•  A subsequent, brief press (<1 sec.) of the BREW button starts the descaling process.
• Once about half of the liquid has run through the appliance, stop the process by pressing the BREW button again briefly (<1 sec.).
• Wait for 10 minutes to ensure that the remaining descaling fluid removes as much limescale from the appliance as possible.
• Next reactivate the appliance by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.) and then briefly (<1 sec.). Allow the remaining fluid to run through the appliance.
• If you hear a signal sound, switch the appliance off by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.).
• Empty the jug.

Rinsing process after descaling

• The appliance must be rinsed after descaling to remove any remaining descaling agent.
• First rinse out the water tank under running water. Then fill the water tank up to the 8-cup mark and put it back into the appliance.
• Activate the appliance, start it, as in a normal brewing process, and allow all of the water to flow through the appliance.
• If you hear a signal sound, switch the appliance off by pressing the BREW button longer (>1 sec.).
• If the appliance was completely descaled during the descaling process, the CALC lamp will no longer be illuminated during the rinsing process. If this is still the case, the limescale in the appliance was so far advanced that one descaling process was not sufficient to completely descale the heater. In this case, repeat the descaling and rinsing process one more time.
• Empty the glass jug.
•  Then rinse out the glass jug with water.

Cleaning and care

• Switch off the appliance before cleaning and disconnect the mains plug.
• Allow the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning it.
• Clean the parts that come into contact with coffee (jug, filter holder etc.) after each use.
• You can clean the housing with a soft, moist cloth.
• The glass jug with lid, the filter holder and the water tank lid are dishwasher-safe.
• When cold, the keep-warm plate can be cleaned with a soft, moist cloth.
• Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.

Switching off the signal sounds

All signal sounds can be deactivated if necessary.
The appliance needs to have been switched off to do this. Pressing the BREW and CONTROL buttons at the same time longer (>1 sec.) deactivates the signal sounds. Proceed in the same way to switch them on again. You will hear a brief signal sound upon activation and upon deactivation
