Putting in the Ground Coffee
1.
Swing out the swivel filter (see figure 20)
and insert a paper filter. We recommend
using KRUPS size 2. When inserting a
paper filter make sure the seam is pointing
towards the base of the filter holder
(see figure 21).
Use your hands to conform the filter to
the contours of the filter holder. This will
enable you to achieve better results.
2. Put ground coffee into the filter holder
(see figure 22). We suggest using one
level KRUPS measuring spoon of ground
coffee for each cup of robust brewed
coffee. After using your KRUPS coffee
maker several times, you can adjust the
quantity to suit your own taste.
We do not recommend using coffee that
is ground to a powder-like consistency, as
this will prevent water from passing
through the coffee.
3. Close the swivel filter and make sure that
it is completely closed (see figure 23).
ATTENTION:
Make sure that the filter paper does not fold
over when closing the swivel filter, otherwise
the water might run between the filter paper
and the filter holder producing a very weak
cup of coffee.
Filling the Water Chamber
1.
Open the hinged water chamber lid
(see figure 24). Pour in the desired
quantity of water (see figure 25).
The amount of freshly brewed coffee
delivered after the brewing process will
always be slightly less than the amount
put into the water chamber. This is due to
the minimal absorption of the water by the
ground coffee. Therefore, put in a little
more water to begin with so that you will
have the number of cups that you desire.
2. Place the glass carafe with lid in position
on the warming plate.
3. Turn “on” your “Il Caffè Duomo” using
the coffee “on/off” button (m). The
indicator light will illuminate indicating
that the brewing process has begun
(see figure 26).
4. As long as the red indicator light is
illuminated the coffee will be kept warm.
The Stop ‘N Serve feature is KRUPS’ answer
to the impatient coffee drinker’s clamour for
a quick cup of coffee! This device
automatically stops the flow of brewed
coffee through the filter cone if the glass
carafe is removed from the warming plate
during the brewing cycle. You have about
20 seconds between the removal of the
carafe and it being reinserted back onto the
warming plate.
The Stop ‘N Serve device closes off the filter
cone so effectively that there is virtually no
coffee dripping onto the warming plate.
Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing
process and the flow of coffee into the
carafe will resume.
CAUTION
Should significant amounts of coffee drip
onto the warming plate after the removal of
the carafe, it is usually an indication that the
seal in the filter holder is missing or
defective, in this case call the
KRUPS Consumer Service Department at
1-800-526-5377 and they can assist you.
It is also possible that too much ground
coffee has been placed in the filter paper.
This causes the water that jets into the filter
cone to overflow between the filter and the
sides of the filter cone.
If this blockage and subsequent dripping
does occur, put the glass carafe
immediately back onto the warming plate,
and allow the full brewing cycle to run its
course. Do not swing out the swivel filter
until the brewing process is completed.
