of fresh cold water but without using
ground coffee.
How to make fi lter coffee
∙ When making smaller quantities of coffee,
it is better to place the glass jug on the
hotplate and then switch it on. In that way,
the freshly brewed coffee will be delivered
into the pre-heated jug.
∙ Open the pivoted fi lter holder (6) and take
off the fi lter holder lid (5) (illustration I).
∙ Place a paper fi lter (size 1 x 4) into the

of water needed for the number of cups of
coffee you wish to prepare:
∙ water level marks on the left-hand side:
medium-sized coffee cups (approx.
125 ml)
∙ water level marks on the right-hand
side: smaller sized coffee cups.
∙ Be careful not to exceed the maximum
water level of 8 medium-sized cups as
otherwise boiling water may be ejected
and cause burns.
∙ Close the water reservoir lid (3). This is
important as the "Vapotronic"-system can
only operate while the lid is closed.
