Question 1

Hi. Can I just check whether this machine has a permanent filter basket or do you have to use filter papers? Thanks

Accepted Answer

Makes great coffee. Not a single overflow. You will need 1x4 filter papers as the others have said

Question 2

Does the thermos come with a serving lid, if you want to remove it from the machine?

Accepted Answer

The thermos comes with a lid, which is not simply used as a "serving" lid. You also need to have it on while the coffee is being made. The central part of the lid is activated by a spring.Once you've placed your paper filter with coffee powder and you've poured the appropriate amount of water in the upper part of the machine, you then push the thermos underneath, with lid on (in central position). When you do that, the spring loaded lid on the thermos goes 'down' allowing the thermos to be in perfect position under the upper part of the machine. The drops of coffee run through the central part of the lid into the thermos.When the coffee is made, you pull the thermos out of the machine. The lid is still in central position. You turn the lid slightly to the right to pour the coffee.Once you've poured the coffee, turn immediately the lid back in central position.The lid acts as a seal for the thermos as long as it is in central position.In other words, while there is still coffee in the thermos, you must keep the lid in central position otherwise the coffee would quickly get cold.When the thermos is empty, you can remove the lid by turning it to the left.I rinse thermos and lid under the tap and let them dry till next time I want to use the coffee machine again.As you can see, the thermos comes with a lid which is more than a simple "serving" lid.Brilliant system. Excellent coffee machine used every day... and we are very happy!

Question 3

Is the inside of the jug stainless steel, plastic, or a mixture like the outside?

Accepted Answer

The whole jug is stainless steel, with such a good insulation between the two layers that the outside of the jug stays cool and can be put down safely anywhere while the coffee remains hot for several hours.

Question 4

Hi, is there anyway of controlling how many cups you make, just by the amount of water you put in I assume?

Accepted Answer

Adjust amount of water and amount of coffee according to number of cups and strength required.  If in doubt fill one cup with water and put in measuring jug, then multiply up amount of water by how many cups required.  Keeps hot for a good time for top-ups.
