For optimal results, use a medium grind size. Too fine of a grind can clog the filter, while too coarse may result in weak coffee.
Descale your coffee maker every 1-2 months, depending on the hardness of your water and frequency of use. Use a descaling solution or a mixture of water and vinegar.
Ensure the coffee maker is plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check the power switch and make sure it is in the 'on' position. If the problem persists, inspect the power cord for any visible damage.
Remove the filter basket and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and let it dry completely before placing it back into the coffee maker.
Yes, you can use this coffee maker to brew tea by placing tea bags or loose leaf tea in the filter basket. Use the same brewing method as you would for coffee.
Bitter coffee can result from over-extraction. Try using a coarser grind, reducing the amount of coffee, or shortening the brewing time. Ensure your coffee maker is clean to avoid residue that can affect taste.
Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum water level in the reservoir. Check that the carafe is properly positioned under the filter basket to allow coffee to drip correctly.
If your coffee is not hot enough, ensure that the warming plate is functioning and not obstructed. Pre-heating the carafe with hot water before brewing can also help maintain temperature.
Clean all removable parts and ensure they are dry. Store the coffee maker in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the power cord neatly wrapped.
