OPERATION
• Place the Wilfa Zense Alux Thermo on a flat surface. Plug the power cord into the socket.
• Fill the water tank with fresh water to the desired amount. Place a filter paper (1x4) in the filter holder. Place the recommended amount of coffee into the filter.
• We recommend that you use filter ground coffee, 60 g per litre of water.
Experiment with the coffee quantities for the first few brewing’s to find the amount which you think is optimal.
• We also recommend that you use a Wilfa scale for best results.
• Attach the filter holder to the bracket. Set the flow control in relation to your desired brew preference.
• We recommend the following ratios of water and coffee (please note that different grinds and coffee types will influence these ratios somewhat):
1,25 l - 75 g
1 l - 60 g
0,75 l - 45 g
0,5 l - 30 g
• Press the start button to start the brewing process. Wilfa Zense Alux Thermo has Wilfa’s unique pump system which transports water through the system at an optimal temperature from the first to the last drop.
• By setting the flow control to the right, it will act as a drip stop.
THERMO JUG
Insert the lid with the arrow pointing on UNLOCK.
POUR
Twist the lid clockwise until the arrow is on LOCK. Twist it anti-clockwise so the arrow aligns with the spout and the dot. (1,2,3)
CLOSE
After pouring, close the lid by twisting it clockwise until the arrow is on LOCK. (2)
TIPS
• Rinse the coffee filter in water to remove any unwanted taste prior to brewing.
• Always use fresh coffee. You will obtain the best results if the coffee you use is freshly ground. Grounded coffee loose many of its aromas just after a few minutes and by grinding the coffee yourself just before you brew, you keep all the good aromas for the best coffee taste.
• You can use one of Wilfa’s coffee grinders suitable for grinding filter coffee.
Using different degrees of grinding will affect the coffee’s strength and taste.
• The enclosed filter holder has a manual drip stop. Wilfa does not recommend serving coffee before the filter process is completed, since this will diminish the final coffee result.
• If even hotter coffee is desired, the thermo jug should be rinsed with hot water prior to brewing. This is especially recommended if you are making 0.5 litres of coffee or less.
• If the coffee maker has not been used for a while it is recommended to run clean water through the unit prior to use.
• Coffee residue will always stay on parts in contact with the coffee. For optimal coffee taste, you should clean the filter holder, thermo jug and jug lid regularly.
• Do not use the thermo jug to fill the water tank with fresh water as coffee residues will influence on the quality of the brewed coffee.
• Use the brewing lid when brewing, and the pouring lid when serving to achieve the optimal temperature and minimize heat loss during brewing and serving.
