Frequently Asked Questions

How do you use the BELLA Pro MultiBrew Coffee Maker?

For carafe brewing, fill the drip water reservoir, add ground coffee to the reusable filter basket, place the glass carafe on the warming plate, and press BREW CARAFE/OFF. 

For single-serve brewing, fill the separate water tank, install a compatible capsule or the reusable ground coffee basket, choose a cup size, and press BREW SINGLE. The OVER ICE button prepares coffee directly over ice.

What are the single-serve cup sizes on the BELLA Pro MultiBrew?

The single-serve system offers five sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 ounces. The default setting is 8 ounces. Press SIZE repeatedly to select a different volume. The appliance remembers the last selected size while it remains plugged in.

How do you program Brew Later on the BELLA Pro MultiBrew Coffee Maker?

Prepare the drip water reservoir, ground coffee, and glass carafe. Press and hold PROGRAM for approximately 1.5 seconds, then use HOUR and MINUTE to select the future brewing time. Check AM/PM and press PROGRAM to confirm, or wait five seconds. The machine can be programmed to begin brewing up to 24 hours in advance.

How do you make iced coffee with the BELLA Pro MultiBrew?

Place ice in the receiving cup, prepare a compatible capsule or the reusable ground coffee basket, and select a cup size. Press OVER ICE to begin brewing. The machine dispenses approximately half the selected volume. For example, an 8-ounce selection produces approximately 4 ounces of coffee over ice.

Why are BREW SINGLE, OVER ICE, and SIZE flashing?

These three buttons flash when the single-serve water tank runs out during brewing. Add fresh water within three minutes and press any button to continue the remaining cycle. If more than three minutes pass, the coffee maker returns to standby.

How do you clean the BELLA Pro MultiBrew Coffee Maker?

After use, discard coffee grounds, wash the reusable filters and glass carafe, and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. The drip coffee system should be descaled using 6 cups of white vinegar and 4 cups of cold water. The single-serve system uses 4 ounces of vinegar and 10 ounces of cold water. Both systems require separate rinsing.

What does CLEAN mean on the BELLA Pro MultiBrew Coffee Maker?

The CLEAN indicator flashes when the machine reaches approximately 150 brewing cycles. It indicates that descaling is required. The drip coffee CLEAN program takes approximately 30–40 minutes. The two water systems should be descaled separately.

What is the warranty on the BELLA Pro MultiBrew Coffee Maker?

The coffee maker includes a limited two-year warranty covering mechanical defects in materials and workmanship and 90 days of coverage for non-mechanical parts. Coverage begins on the original delivery date and requires proof of purchase. For assistance, contact Customer Service at 1-866-832-4843 or help@bellahousewares.com.
