I bought a Haden Coffee Machine recently but didn’t know how to use it properly. Then I looked for the user instructions or user manual, but I couldn’t find the instructions. So, after some research finally I found out how to use a Haden coffee machine.

Then again it wasn’t quite easy for me to understand. So, today I will give you the ultimate guide to using a Haden coffee machine in simple words.

This blog is for you if you own a Haden Coffee Machine and wants to learn how to use it effectively.

Getting Started

Fill the Water Tank:

• First, you have to open the top lid and fill the water tank with fresh, cold drinking water.
• Do not exceed the MAX level indicated on the water gauge.
• You can use filtered water for better tasting coffee (optional)

Prepare the Filter:

• Place the permanent filter in the funnel.
• Make sure the funnel is assembled correctly in its holder before placing it in the machine. Otherwise, the lid won’t close.

How to Use Your Coffee Machine

Add Coffee Grounds:

• Add coffee grounds to the permanent filter. You can start with 1-2 tablespoons of coffee grounds per cup of water. (use the correct grind size for optimal brewing)
• Close the top lid securely.

Positioning the Carafe:

• Place the carafe with its handle closed onto the warming plate horizontally.

Selecting Coffee Strength (Optional):

• If your machine has a strength setting, you can adjust it now.
• Press the STRENGTH button once for a stronger coffee (the indicator light turns orange).
• Skip this step for regular coffee.

Setting the Clock:

• Press the ON/OFF button. The indicator light will turn red, and the LCD display might show “12:00.” Brewing will begin.

Note: During brewing, the PROGRAM, DELAY BREW, HOUR, and MINUTE buttons are disabled.

Pausing and Serving:

• Briefly interrupt brewing by pressing the ON/OFF button (light extinguishes). Press again to resume.
• You can remove the carafe, pour a cup, and return it during brewing. Dripping will automatically stop but limit this to 30 seconds to avoid restarting.

Enjoying Your Coffee:

• Once brewing finishes (about a minute after dripping stops), remove the carafe to serve.
• The amount of coffee will be less than the water used due to absorption by grounds.

Keeping Warm (Optional):

• If not served immediately, leave the coffee maker on. The warming plate will keep the coffee warm for up to 40 minutes after brewing or until you turn it off manually.
• For the best taste, enjoy your coffee fresh.

Power Off and Safety:

• Always turn off and unplug the coffee maker when not in use.
• Be careful when pouring, as the coffee is hot.

Cleaning & Maintenance

How to  Clean Your Haden Coffee Machine

How to Descale Your Coffee Maker

You need to descale your coffee maker regularly. Why? Descaling will remove mineral buildup that can affect taste and performance.

Before You Begin:

• Consult your descaling solution instructions for the appropriate water-to-descaler ratio (usually 4:1).
• You can also use a citric acid solution (100 parts water to 3 parts citric acid) instead of a commercial descaler.

Descaling Process:

1. Unplug the coffee maker for safety.
2. Fill the water tank to the MAX level with the descaling solution (water and descaler or citric acid solution).
3. Place a carafe under the brew basket.
4. Ensure the funnel is properly assembled.
5. Turn on the coffee maker and run a brew cycle.
6. After brewing about one cup of solution, turn off the coffee maker and let the solution sit for 15 minutes.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 (turn on, brew a cup, turn off, wait 15 minutes).
8. Empty the carafe and rinse the water tank.
9. Run several cycles with fresh water only to remove any remaining descaling solution. Discard the rinse water.

Notice: 

• Never use vinegar to descale your coffee maker. Consult the manufacturer’s manual for specific recommendations.
• Do not drink the descaling solution.
