Coffee Machine Step 1
STEP 1

Add water to the reservoir
Always start with fresh, cold water and measure the correct amount using the markers on the coffee machine.

Brewed coffee consists of 98% water so always use fresh, filtered water for the best taste.

STEP 3

Add medium ground coffee
Use 2 tbsp (10 g) of grounds per cup (180 ml, 6 fl oz). For flat-bottom filters, use a medium grind resembling sea salt; for cone filters, use a finer grind resembling granulated sugar.

Store your coffee in an airtight container away from sunlight, heat and moisture.

Pour a cup & enjoy your coffee at home

QUICK TIPS

Each coffee machine has a different size for a “cup”—it can vary between 118–180 ml (4–6 fl oz). Not sure about yours? Measure and pour 350 ml (12 fl oz) of water into the reservoir and see how large a “cup” is.
