To descale the Brandt CTI-915, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Run a brewing cycle without coffee grounds. Follow with two cycles of clean water to rinse.
Ensure the coffee maker is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Check the power switch and inspect the power cord for any damage. If the issue persists, consider contacting customer support.
Ensure you are not overfilling the filter basket and using the correct grind size. Use medium grind coffee for best results and check that the filter is properly seated in the basket.
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the coffee maker. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads to prevent damage to the surface.
Slow brewing can be caused by mineral buildup. Run a descaling cycle to remove any deposits. Also, check that the water reservoir is filled adequately and that the coffee grounds are not packed too tightly.
Press the 'Prog' button until the display flashes. Use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired brewing time. Press 'Prog' again to confirm and activate the timer.
The Brandt CTI-915 is compatible with standard basket-style paper filters. Alternatively, you can use a permanent metal filter for a more sustainable option.
Replace the water filter every 60 days or after brewing approximately 60 cycles, whichever comes first. This will help maintain the quality of your coffee and the longevity of the machine.
Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio by adding more coffee grounds. Ensure you are using the correct grind size and that the water is heated to the optimal temperature for brewing.
Yes, you can brew a stronger coffee by using more grounds and less water, then pour the hot coffee over a glass filled with ice to enjoy iced coffee.
