FAQs

A filter coffee machine typically consists of a water reservoir, a heating element to heat the water, and a drip mechanism that drips the hot water over a basket containing a paper or reusable filter filled with ground coffee. The brewed coffee then drips into a carafe or pot below. These machines are known for their simplicity and ease of use, making them popular for brewing larger quantities of coffee for groups or households. They offer a convenient way to make coffee without the need for manual control or supervision during the brewing process.

  • Regularly wash the removable parts, such as the filter basket and carafe, with warm, soapy water after each use.
  • Clean the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth to remove any spills or stains.
  • Regularly descale the machine using a descaling solution to remove mineral deposits and scale buildup.
  • Run a brewing cycle with a mixture of water and white vinegar to help remove any lingering residue.
