- Select your desired grind setting (3-step adjustment) using the control panel.
- Press the power button to start the brewing process. The machine will automatically grind the beans and brew the coffee.
- For small quantities (2-4 cups), the machine automatically extends the brewing time to ensure maximum aroma extraction.
5.2 Brewing Coffee with Pre-Ground Coffee
- Ensure the permanent filter is correctly placed in the filter holder.
- Add the desired amount of pre-ground coffee directly into the permanent filter.
- Place either the glass carafe or the insulated thermal carafe on the heating plate.
- Select the pre-ground coffee mode (refer to control panel icons).
- Press the power button to start brewing.
5.3 Using the 24-Hour Timer
The 24-hour timer allows you to program the machine to start brewing at a desired time.
- Prepare the machine with water and coffee (beans or ground) as usual.
- Press the "TIMER" button.

- Confirm the setting by pressing the "TIMER" button again or waiting a few seconds. The machine will start brewing automatically at the set time.
5.4 Carafe Usage and Heating Plate
- Glass Carafe: When the glass carafe is used, the heating plate automatically activates to keep the coffee warm for a period after brewing.
- Insulated Thermal Carafe: When the insulated thermal carafe is used, the heating plate does not activate, as the carafe itself is designed to keep coffee warm.
