How often should I descale my coffee maker?

How often a coffee machine needs to be descaled depends on how often it is used and the hardness of the water. If hard water is used it is recommended to descale once a month, if soft water is used once a quarter is sufficient.

What is the best way to descale my coffee maker?

To descale the coffee maker, it is recommended to use a liquid descaling agent which is labelled as suitable for coffee machines.

What is espresso?

Espresso is a small amount of concentrated coffee.

How long can I keep coffee beans?

The best-before date can be found on the packaging of the coffee beans. This best-before date applies as long as the bag is closed.

What is the best way to store coffee?

It is recommended to store coffee in an airtight and clean container.

What does the grind say about the taste of the coffee?

How can I properly store the cord of the Krups FME4 coffee maker?

To properly store the cord of the Krups FME4 coffee maker, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the coffee maker is turned off and unplugged before storing the cord. 2. Instead of pulling on the cord, grasp the plug and gently pull to disconnect it from the power source. 3. Avoid using an extension cord with the coffee maker. If you must use one, ensure that its electrical capacity is equal to or greater than that of the coffee maker. 4. If you need to use an extension cord, position it in a way that it doesn't hang along the countertop or table where it can be pulled by a child or cause someone to trip. 5. The coffee maker is equipped with a polarized plug, where one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug should only be inserted into a polarized outlet in one way. If the plug doesn't fit properly, flip it over. If it still doesn't fit, contact an electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug. By following these steps, you can ensure the proper storage of the cord for your Krups FME4 coffee maker.

Why is my Krups FME4 coffee maker not turning on?

If your Krups FME4 coffee maker is not turning on, you can try the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Check the power source: Ensure that the coffee maker is plugged into a working outlet. Also, make sure that the appliance is in the "ON" position. 2. Verify the water tank: Check if the water tank has been filled beyond the maximum fill level. If it is overfilled, it may cause the coffee maker to malfunction. 3. Pre-heat the thermal carafe: To ensure the coffee stays hot for a longer time, pre-heat the thermal carafe with hot water just before brewing. This will help maintain the temperature of the coffee. 4. Descaling: If the coffee maker still doesn't turn on, it may be time to descale the machine. On timer models, you may see the word "CALC" in the display. On non-timer models, descaling is recommended every 40 to 80 uses, depending on the hardness of your water. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact your respective country's consumer service department for further assistance.

Why is my Krups FME4 coffee maker leaking?

If your Krups FME4 coffee maker is leaking, there could be a few possible reasons. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you address the issue: 1. Check the water tank: Ensure that the water tank has not been filled beyond the maximum fill level. Overfilling the tank can cause leakage during the brewing process. 2. Verify the lid: Make sure that the lid is securely closed during the brewing cycles. Removing the lid while the coffee maker is in operation can lead to scalding and potential leakage. 3. Pre-heat the thermal carafe: To ensure that the thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot for a longer time, pre-heat it with hot water just before brewing. This helps maintain the temperature of the coffee and reduces the chances of leakage. 4. Descaling: If the leakage persists, it may be time to descale your coffee maker. On timer models, you may see the word "CALC" in the display. On non-timer models, descaling is recommended every 40 to 80 uses, depending on the hardness of your water. Descaling helps remove mineral deposits that can affect the performance of the coffee maker. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, please contact your respective country's consumer service department for further assistance.

How can I ensure that the thermal carafe of my Krups FME4 coffee maker keeps the coffee hot for a longer time?

To ensure that the thermal carafe of your Krups FME4 coffee maker keeps the coffee hot for a longer time, follow these steps: 1. Pre-heat the carafe: Before brewing, fill the thermal carafe with hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. This helps to warm up the carafe and maintain the temperature of the brewed coffee. 2. Use freshly boiled water: Fill the water tank with freshly boiled water. Using hot water ensures that the brewing process starts at a higher temperature, resulting in hotter coffee. 3. Brew a full pot: It is recommended to brew a full pot of coffee rather than a smaller quantity. A full pot helps to retain heat better in the thermal carafe. 4. Avoid opening the carafe frequently: Once the coffee is brewed, avoid opening the carafe frequently as it can cause heat loss. Only open the carafe when you are ready to pour a cup of coffee. 5. Clean and maintain the carafe: Regularly clean the thermal carafe to remove any residue or oils that can affect the heat retention. Follow the cleaning instructions provided in the manual. By following these steps, you can ensure that the thermal carafe of your Krups FME4 coffee maker keeps the coffee hot for a longer time.

How often should I descale my Krups FME4 coffee maker?

To determine how often you should descale your Krups FME4 coffee maker, consider the hardness of your water and the frequency of use. Here are the general guidelines: 1. Hard water: If you have hard water, it is recommended to descale your coffee maker approximately every 40 uses without the Duo Filter or every 80 uses with the Duo Filter. 2. Soft water: If you have soft water, you can descale your coffee maker approximately every 80 uses without the Duo Filter or every 160 uses with the Duo Filter. To descale your coffee maker, follow these steps: 1. Remove the filter holder (k) before descaling. 2. Dilute the Krups descaling solution in 8 ounces of water or use 8 ounces of white vinegar. 3. Pour the solution or vinegar into the water reservoir (b) and start the coffee maker without coffee. 4. Allow half of the liquid to run into the carafe, then switch off the coffee maker and let it stand for 1 hour. 5. Restart the coffee maker to complete the descaling cycle. 6. Rinse the coffee maker by running it through 2 full cycles with water only. If the display continues to show "CALC" on timer models, repeat the descaling process. Please note that these are general recommendations, and the actual frequency of descaling may vary depending on your specific usage and water conditions.
