Description
The Aarke Coffee Maker Matte Black combines precision filter coffee brewing with distinctive Scandinavian design and a sophisticated matte black finish. Its intelligent brewing system maintains an optimal 92–96°C brewing temperature, while a water level sensor automatically adjusts the brewing process according to the amount of coffee being prepared.
With a generous 1.25 litre capacity, the Aarke Coffee Maker can prepare between 2 and 10 cups and brew a full pot in under six minutes. Its specially designed round shower head distributes water across the ground coffee for even extraction, while optional Blooming Mode pre-soaks the coffee at the start of the brewing cycle to help enhance extraction and flavour.
Once brewing is complete, the Smart Hot Plate automatically adjusts its power according to the volume brewed and gradually reduces heat over 40 minutes. This helps keep your coffee warm while avoiding unwanted burnt notes. Automatic Drip-Stop prevents coffee from flowing when the carafe is removed, while carafe detection switches off the hot plate to help save energy.
Simple one-button operation keeps everyday brewing straightforward, while the illuminated water tank makes the water level easier to see. The interchangeable brewing container also allows you to brew into either the supplied glass carafe or Aarke's separately available Thermal Jug.
For straightforward maintenance, the removable filter basket, lid and glass carafe components are dishwasher safe at up to 60°C. A built-in descaling programme provides an LED reminder after every 60 brewing cycles. The Coffee Maker is also independently ECBC certified according to the European Coffee Brewing Centre's Golden Cup Brewing Standard.
