Morphy Richards Equip Filter Coffee Machine - Black

A general guideline is one tablespoon of medium-ground coffee per standard 5 oz cup. Adjust to your personal taste for stronger or weaker coffee.

While the machine comes with a reusable permanent filter, you can typically use standard cone-shaped paper filters (size #4 for most 10-cup machines) if you prefer, but always use it *within* the filter holder, not as a replacement for the reusable filter holder itself.

The 'Keep Hot' function maintains the coffee temperature for approximately 30 minutes after brewing is complete.

For optimal results with a filter coffee machine, a medium grind is recommended. Grinds that are too fine can cause overflowing or bitter coffee, while grinds that are too coarse can result in weak coffee.

Descaling is recommended every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water or use the machine daily. Regular descaling prevents mineral buildup and maintains brewing efficiency.

Yes, you can brew a single cup by adding the appropriate amount of water to the reservoir for one cup and the correct amount of coffee to the filter.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and a working electrical outlet. Ensure the water reservoir has sufficient water. Check if the 'On' button has been pressed and the indicator light is on.

Ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio. The general recommendation is one tablespoon of ground coffee per cup of water. Also, check that the reusable filter is properly seated and not clogged, which could hinder proper water flow through the grounds. Use medium-fine ground coffee for optimal extraction.

This usually indicates too much ground coffee or too fine a grind, which restricts water flow. Reduce the amount of coffee or use a slightly coarser grind. Also, ensure the filter basket and carafe are correctly positioned and that the anti-drip valve (if present) isn't blocked.

Mineral buildup (scale) can affect performance. Perform a descaling cycle as outlined in the 'Care' section to clean the internal components. Ensure the water reservoir is filled correctly and there are no obstructions.
