Melitta Coffeemaker GV09 User Manual

Press-filter  
coffee maker or infuser  
GV09 “Inka”  
This press-filter coffee maker, which can  
also be used as an infuser, was designed  
by Guido Venturini in 2000. He was  
inspired by a method of making coffee  
which is now very common in northern  
Europe and America, and which was  
invented in Italy in the twenties - the  
manual pressure filter.  
Made of 18/10 stainless steel and  
polyamide with an inner heat resistant  
glass, “Inka” was designed for preparing  
coffee with a particular taste. The taste  
differs not only from espresso and  
percolator coffee, but also coffee made  
using the Melitta paper filter system and  
the Neapolitan coffee maker. Its main  
characteristic is that it allows you to obtain  
your desired dosage of coffee by adjusting  
the ratio of the amount of ground coffee  
to the amount of water, and therefore to  
make stronger or weaker coffee according  
to your taste.  
Instructions for use  
BEFORE USE  
In order to remove the slight metallic taste  
of the steel parts, when you use “Inka” for  
the first time we recommend you wash it  
first, following the cleaning instructions,  
and then make a coffee to be thrown away.  
USE  
WARNING  
Remove the cover and its filter.  
Warm the glass container by rinsing it with  
very hot water.  
IN ORDER TO USE AND MAINTAIN  
THIS PRODUCT CORRECTLY, READ  
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
CAREFULLY AND KEEP THEM FOR  
FUTURE REFERENCE.  
Place the ground coffee in the glass con-  
tainer. You can use any type of coffee, but  
remember that the press-filter coffee-  
making technique requires coffee that is  
not too finely ground. The normal dose is  
one rounded tablespoon per cup. (Figure 2)  
Pour the amount of very hot water that  
corresponds to the desired number of cups  
onto the ground coffee - the recommended  
maximum level is shown on the heat  
resistant glass. (Figure 3)  
“Inka” has been made using the most  
suitable materials and production  
techniques for its design. The slight  
variations in size to which the polyamide  
body and the heat resistant glass are  
subject over time will not impair the  
product's functionality if it is used  
correctly, following the instructions for use.  
In particular, polyamide is a material that  
is sensitive to variations in temperature,  
therefore the sensation of release noticed  
after immersing it in hot water or during  
use is normal.  
The “Inka” coffee maker is ideal for making  
coffee, but it may also be used for making  
tea or herb tea. You are advised to wash  
the filter thoroughly in order to remove  
any residual coffee taste, or to use another  
press-filter when using "Inka" as an infuser.  
The cups referred to for the coffee made  
in the press-filter are large American-style  
cups or mugs (10 cl) and not traditional  
Italian espresso coffee cups (5 cl).  
STIR WITH A SPOON.  
Leave the infusion to stand for 3-5 minutes  
after putting the cover back on the coffee  
maker, taking care to keep the filter raised  
so that it is not in contact with the foam  
that forms on the surface. The strength of  
the coffee depends on the infusion time.  
Press on the filter gently but firmly - the  
coffee will be filtered immediately and is  
ready to drink straight away. (Figure 4)  
When pouring the coffee, make sure you  
always hold the cover with your thumb  
and the handle with your hand, as shown  
in figure 5.
