Since a few days I'm cooking with this machine coffee, and so slowly I strike an appropriate balance. I suppose Brita-filtered water, six to seven grams of coffee powder per cup large scale at the water tank and the intensive care setting on the filter to one. The pot I rinse beforehand with hot water. The boiled coffee tasted my best as well and is hot. The cover art is simple. Easy to open and to operate with one hand if you ausschenkt coffee, where nothing drips. The filter I would put the dishwasher, not Thermonskanne. But can be easily cleaned through the large opening. Coffee residues in cans can soak with salt and water, then rinse with normal hand.
