7.3.2Water tank
The fully-automatic coffee machine has an integrated water tank which holds approximately 1.7 litres of water. The tank should be filled with fresh water at least once a day, since germs may developed in water which has been left standing. The water tank can easily be removed from the front when the flap panel has been opened up and it can then be filled through an opening which is covered with a spring lid.

7.3.3Coffee bean box
The fully-automatic coffee machine has an integrated bean box. The flavour-protecting lid keeps the supply of beans fresh for 1 – 2 days and the coffee aroma is not dissolved in the air. Only fresh beans are a guarantee for really fresh enjoyment. This is why beans are only ground shortly before coffee is brewed.
HINT: Whole beans or ground coffee?
You will be able to enjoy your coffee most if your coffee beans are freshly-ground shortly before you make coffee. The reason: the aroma of coffee beans is protected as long as the beans have not been ground, i.e. are whole. Grinding the beans releases the flavours and the aromas. If the beans are only ground just before the coffee is to be made, no aroma will go lost! Coffee is also most aromatic when made this way, since it is only immediately after coffee beans have been ground that they develop their flavour best.
