Extended Product Information
FAQs
What type of coffee grounds should I use?
For the best results, use very finely ground Turkish coffee, often referred to as powder grind. Standard espresso or filter coffee grounds will not produce the desired texture or flavour.
How long does it take to brew a cup of coffee?
A single or double cup brews in less than 1.5 minutes. The 'Slow Brew' option extends this to approximately 5 minutes for a richer flavour.
Does the machine require a special water filter?
No, the Arzum OK002B does not use or require a water filter. It brews directly with the water you add to the reservoir.
How often should I use the self-cleaning function?
It is recommended to use the self-cleaning function after every use to maintain optimal performance and hygiene.
Can I adjust the sweetness or strength of the coffee?
You can adjust the sweetness and strength by adding your desired amount of sugar and coffee grounds directly to the brewing chamber before starting the brewing process.
What is the warranty period?
The Arzum OK002B comes with a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase.
Can I brew coffee with milk instead of water?
The machine is designed to brew with water. Using milk may affect brewing performance, cleaning, and potentially damage the appliance. It is recommended to use water only.
Troubleshooting
Machine not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and that the machine is switched on.
Coffee not brewing or brewing slowly
Ensure there is sufficient water in the reservoir and that the coffee grounds are not blocking the brewing mechanism. Check that the correct cup size is selected.
Foam is not rich enough
Verify that you are using very finely ground Turkish coffee. Ensure the water temperature and ingredient ratios are correct. Experiment with the Slow Brew function for potentially richer results.
Self-cleaning cycle not completing
Make sure the water reservoir is filled. If the issue persists, unplug the machine, wait a few minutes, and try the cleaning cycle again. Refer to the manual for advanced troubleshooting.
Error messages or unusual noises
Consult the user manual for specific error codes or sounds. Unplug the machine and allow it to cool down before attempting to use it again. If problems persist, contact customer support.
