When it may not be suitable

What to consider before purchase

• Intended coffee style: suitable for ground filter coffee only, not for espresso or pods
• Capacity requirements: 1.25 L carafe holds up to 10 cups—check match with household or office needs

Usage recommendations

Use medium ground coffee suitable for drip machines and follow water-to-coffee ratios to achieve consistent strength. Descale periodically according to local water hardness to maintain performance, and clean the removable filter and carafe after each use to preserve flavour and hygiene.
