Korona 12304 Coffee Maker F.A.Q.

How do I clean the Korona 12304 Coffee Maker?

To clean the Korona 12304 Coffee Maker, first unplug the machine and allow it to cool. Remove the filter basket and wash it with warm soapy water. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For descaling, run a mixture of equal parts water and vinegar through a brew cycle, followed by two cycles of clean water.

What should I do if the coffee maker doesn't turn on?

If the coffee maker doesn't turn on, check if it's plugged in properly. Ensure the outlet is functional by testing it with another device. If the problem persists, inspect the power cord for damage or consider checking the internal fuse if you are comfortable with minor repairs.

How can I prevent my coffee from tasting bitter?

Bitter coffee can result from over-extraction or using too much coffee. Adjust the grind size to be coarser, ensure you're using the right coffee-to-water ratio, and regularly clean your coffee maker to prevent build-up that can affect taste.

How often should I replace the water filter in the coffee maker?

Replace the water filter every two months or after brewing approximately 60 pots of coffee. This can vary based on water hardness and usage. Always refer to the user manual for specific recommendations.

What grind size is best for the Korona 12304 Coffee Maker?

For optimal results, use a medium grind size. This allows for proper extraction without clogging the filter, ensuring a balanced and flavorful cup of coffee.

Why is my coffee maker leaking water?

Leaking can be caused by overfilling the water reservoir or a faulty gasket. Ensure the reservoir is not filled above the max line. If the problem persists, inspect the gasket for wear or damage and replace it if necessary.

Can I use pre-ground coffee or should I grind my own beans?

You can use both pre-ground coffee and freshly ground beans with the Korona 12304 Coffee Maker. Grinding your own beans just before brewing generally results in a fresher and more aromatic cup of coffee.

How do I program the Korona 12304 Coffee Maker for delayed brewing?

The optimal brewing temperature is between 195°F and 205°F (90°C - 96°C). The Korona 12304 is designed to brew within this range to ensure the best flavor extraction.

How do I troubleshoot if the coffee maker brews too slowly?

If the coffee maker brews too slowly, it may need descaling. Build-up of minerals can affect the flow of water. Run a descaling solution or a mix of vinegar and water through the machine. Clean and rinse thoroughly afterward.
