Ordering Parts & Accessories

Please go to our website www.capresso.com to register  your product and to order any  additional parts and accessories.

Before First Use

After unpacking your coffee maker clean all the loose parts with warm water and make yourself familiar with the different functions. After reading these instructions, clean the internal parts of the machine by making two carafes using only water, without any ground coffee inside the filter.

Setting the Clock

1. When you plug the coffee maker into the outlet the display will flash 12:00. All indicator lights will be off.
2. Press the HOUR or MIN button to advance the time. (Fig. 2).
3. Push and hold the HOUR button. The hours will advance. The display will show AM and PM. When the correct hour is displayed release the button and push and hold the MIN button to set the minutes.

Attention: You must change the clock when the time changes (Standard Time, Daylight Savings Time).

Automatic Start Function

If you want the coffee maker to start brewing at a preset time automatically, set the automatic start function as follows

1. Press PROG button; the display and ON/OFF indicator light will start to blink green. (Fig. 2).
2. Set the delayed starting time by pressing HOUR and MIN button repetitively until the desired time is displayed. Once you have reached the desired start time press the PROG button again. The delayed start time is now set.
3. Press AUTO button so the green indicator light illuminates. Note: You may cancel the automatic start function by pressing the AUTO button again until the indicator light turns off. If you want to change the automatic start time, follow the steps above to reset. When the time is due the green AUTO indicator light will change from green to red to show that the machine has started brewing.

Using Your Coffee Maker

Coffee makers produce very hot water. If you follow the sequence as described below you will avoid possible accidents which might cause severe injuries and burns.

1. Remove carafe from machine and fill carafe with desired amount of water. Note: Water will be absorbed during brewing process. The brewed coffee will be slightly less than markings on carafe.

2. Open the water tank lid and fill the water tank with water.
   Caution: The water level should not exceed MAX level marked on the water level indicator on the side of the machine. If you fill too much water into the water tank the carafe may overflow with hot coffee.

3. Make sure the removable filter holder sits with the handle placed correctly in the open slot. Then place the GoldTone filter into the filter holder and ensure it fits correctly.
   Note: A size #4 paper filter can also be used instead of the GoldTone filter. Do not use a filter paper inside a GoldTone filter. If the removable filter holder is not placed correctly, the lid will not close securely.
   Caution if the filter holder is not engaged correctly into the housing, the drip stop in the filter holder might not open during brewing. Hot water and grinds could overflow and leak from the machine.

4. Add medium coarse ground coffee into the GoldTone filter. Use approximately 1 level tablespoon of ground coffee per cup of coffee according to personal taste. Then close the top lid. DO NOT exceed 14 level tablespoons of coffee in the filter.

5. Make sure the carafe lid sits properly on the glass carafe. Insert the carafe into the machine. The inner part of the lid will push the drip stop up to let coffee brew through.

6. Press ON/OFF button, the corresponding indicator light will illuminate red. The appliance will begin brewing.
   Caution: Never open the water tank lid as long as coffee is brewing. Hot water could spill out causing burns. Wait until the brewing noise stops before lifting lid.

7. The brewing process can be interrupted by pressing the ON/OFF button at any time during operation, and the red indicator light will turn off.
   Note: You can remove the carafe from the platform during the brewing process for approximately 30 seconds to pour a cup before brewing is finished.

8. Immediately after brewing is finished there could still be hot water in the filter passing through the ground coffee. This can take 1 to 3 minutes to pass through depending on how much coffee you used and how fine the coffee was ground. Wait until all brewed coffee is in the carafe before serving.

9. When brewing is complete, the heating platform will remain hot for 2 hours before automatically shutting off. The red ON/OFF indicator light will remain on during this time. To turn machine off after brewing press the ON/OFF button again until the indicator light turns off. For optimum coffee taste, serve coffee just after brewing.

10. If you want to make another carafe of coffee immediately after the first pot, make sure the machine is off and allow it to cool down for three minutes before refilling the water tank.
    Important: Make sure the carafe is empty before brewing.

11. Always turn the coffee maker off and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet when the coffee maker is not in use.

Important: Always use caution when opening the lid directly after brewing, or when the heating platform is on. Hot steam can rise from inside the machine and cause injury.

Strength Setting

When brewing small amounts of coffee (2 to 4 cups) or when wanting a more flavorful cup, push the STRENGTH button so the corresponding indicator light illuminates. Next press the ON button until it illuminates in red and the brewing process begins. The brewing process will be slowed down to allow the coffee to reach its full aroma. If you pushed the STRENGTH button by mistake, just push it again until the indicator light is off.

Note
You may program the STRENGTH setting for a delayed brewing cycle by  following the previous instructions for “Automatic Start Function” and then push the STRENGTH button so the corresponding indicator light becomes illuminated.

Memory

If the power supply has been disrupted or machine was unplugged from the outlet unintentionally during operation, the appliance will continue operation automatically from the point when the disconnection occurred provided that the pause does not exceed 15 seconds. In the event the paused time exceeds 15 seconds, the display shows the default setting, the appliance must be reset and restarted.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Caution: Be sure to unplug the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or liquid.

• Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot, soapy water. Make sure the drip stop in the filter holder is free of any coffee particles; otherwise it might not close properly when removing the carafe. Clean the GoldTone filter and carafe after each use to ensure best tasting coffee every time.
• Wipe the product’s exterior surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove stains. Never use scouring agents or harsh abrasive cleaners.
• Water droplets may buildup in the area above the filter and drip onto the heating platform during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with a clean, dry cloth after each use of the product.
• Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the heating platform. Never use abrasive cleaner to clean the heating platform.
• Dry all parts fully before placing back into the machine.

Decalcifying

To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, it is important to decalcify at least every 2-4 months depending on local water hardness or when brewing 12 cups takes more than 15 minutes.

• Before decalcifying, remove the GoldTone filter from the machine.
• Dissolve 1-oz (28 g) of Capresso Cleaning Solution (or other descaling agent) with 32-oz (1 L) of water and pour mixture into water tank.
• Place the empty carafe with the lid closed underneath the filter holder.
• Turn the machine on for 2 minutes.
• Turn the machine off and let sit for 15 minutes.
• Turn machine on again and let the remaining descaling solution pass through.
• Turn the coffee maker off, remove the carafe, empty and rinse a few times with fresh cold water.
• Rinse the filter holder thoroughly with fresh water and replace.
• Let the coffee maker cool down for a few minutes.
• Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and brew through machine to fully rinse.
• Turn off coffee maker and empty carafe.
• Rinse by operating the appliance with fresh water 2-3 times after descaling.

Hints for Great Tasting Coffee

• A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee maker as specified in the “Cleaning & Maintenance” section. Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
• Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of ground coffee, reseal it tightly or place into an airtight container. DO NOT store ground coffee in the refrigerator or freezer.
• For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and grind them just before brewing. Keep unused whole beans in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
• DO NOT reuse ground coffee since this will greatly reduce the coffee’s flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
• Buildup of oils may occur more frequently if dark roasted coffees are used. Clean coffee maker and filter more often when using oily beans.

Troubleshooting

1. If coffee drips from the filter, when the carafe is removed
   • Ground coffee sits in the drip stop and does not allow the drip stop to close properly. Immediately replace the carafe and wait until all the coffee has been filtered in the carafe. Now remove carafe and remove the filter holder. Clean filter holder under running water. Push the drip stop several times to remove coffee particles. Over the sink, fill some water into the filter holder and check if the drip stop closes properly.
2. If ground coffee is flowing over the GoldTone Filter
   • Coffee is ground too finely. Use a coarser ground.
   • Too much ground coffee was placed in filter. Use less ground coffee next time.
   • Use a size #4 paper filter instead of the GoldTone Filter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which paper filter model number should I use?

It advises against use a paper filter. The permanent filter, I’ve discovered, works perfectly.

Can you use it with a typical basket-sized filter?

Yes, I employ a standard-size filter.

How hot is the water being brewed?

Although I’m unsure of the actual temperature at which it brews, this drip coffee is the hottest I’ve ever tasted! Since I don’t like very strong coffee, I had to reduce the quantity I was using. However, because the Capresso brews so hot, it was much stronger than my previous drip maker.

Will the upper cabinet’s lid completely open?

The lid may be fully open and fit beneath a standard top cabinet. Under a conventional top cabinet, the complete device can be hidden.

Can this (brewed cacao) be used to make choffy?

Water would filter through the cacao once it was placed in the brew basket. Consider giving it a try with a small number of cups. You would have an overflow issue if the water did not filter through the cacao powder.

How is a Capresso coffee machine unclogged?

brewers of coffee Pour 32 ounces (1 L) of water and 1 oz (28 g) of descaler into the water tank. To start the brewing cycle, turn on the machine. Rinse all parts when the machine has finished brewing and been thoroughly cleaned (water tank, carafe, filter, filter holder).

Why won’t my Capresso work?

The first is that the dial may not be able to ignite the device because there may be a loose wire inside the mechanism. The second is that your Capresso Infinity’s hardware dial could have come loose.

How does a Capresso device function?

A steam/boiler is used by the 4-Cup Espresso & Cappuccino Machine to swiftly heat water until steam is created. In order to brew the espresso straight into the glass carafe, the steam generates pressure that forces the water through the coffee grinds and into the filter holder.

How durable is a Capresso espresso maker?

With regular usage, inexpensive home espresso machines last three to five years. This longevity can be extended even further with infrequent use.

What country produces Capresso coffee makers?

Like Miele coffee makers, Capresso devices are predominantly produced in Europe.
