For a more intense flavor extraction, press the AROMA button before starting the brew cycle. This function slows down the brewing process, allowing for a richer coffee taste.
The coffee maker is equipped with a pause and serve feature, allowing you to temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The flow of coffee will stop automatically. Replace the carafe within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your coffee maker.

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descale your appliance regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-3 months).
The KRUPS KT611 features a Duofilter water filtration system. Replace the water filter cartridge regularly (e.g., every 2 months or 60 cycles) to ensure optimal water quality and reduce mineral deposits.
