Stop’N Serve Feature, Putting in the Ground Coffee

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.

Stop’N Serve Feature

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.
