TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAQS

Q: Can I use any type of mug to froth?

A: Only the included frothing mug will work to froth milk, but you can use any standard mug to brew coffee.

Q: Can I froth and brew at the same time?

A: You can set the Froth+Brew to immediately brew coffee upon completion of a Hot Froth cycle (see instructions on reverse side).

Q: What should I do if the water tank is overfilled and the brewing cycle has already begun?

A: Let cycle run or press Brew or Froth buttons to cancel. Do not pour out water while the appliance is plugged in or hot.

• If you realize you’ve overfilled the water tank as you’re brewing, let cycle run or press Brew or Froth buttons to cancel. Do not attempt to take appliance and turn upside down to pour water out. Hot water will disperse from drip spout.
• Milk and creamer do not belong in water tank. Only use water in water tank.
• For best results, we recommend using filtered water. If using a K-Cup®, remove the coffee filter first.

CULINARY FROTHING AND BREWING TIPS

• To froth, you must only use the included frothing mug.
• You cannot use the Cold Froth and Brew buttons in one cycle.
• You can froth any type of milk. Just keep in mind milk varies in thickness depending on what type it is. Almond milk froth will not be as thick as oat or cow’s milk. To make a thick froth, use a creamer or whole milk.
• After frothing, don’t let froth sit for too long or else it will settle and separate.
• Ground coffee becomes stale faster than whole beans. Keep in mind when buying ground coffee to look for latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• Water quality varies. For best results, use bottled or filtered water. Do not use distilled water.
