Coffee Maker 35126

bella Single-Serve Coffee Maker 35126

The bella Single-Serve Coffee Maker is a countertop brewing appliance designed to prepare one serving of coffee using standard coffee pods or ground coffee. It features a removable pod adapter, a reusable ground coffee filter, a 14-fluid-ounce water reservoir, and an adjustable-height drip tray for different cup sizes.

The coffee maker uses a single power button to start brewing. Once activated, its indicator light illuminates, and the machine heats the water and dispenses coffee into the cup below. The appliance and indicator light turn off automatically when the brewing cycle finishes.

The reusable coffee filter allows coffee to be prepared using a standard medium grind without disposable pods. For pod brewing, the supplied pod adapter accepts standard-style coffee pods. The machine can also dispense hot water for preparing tea, instant hot chocolate, cider, oatmeal, and soup.

The water reservoir has a maximum capacity of 14 fluid ounces (1¾ cups). Brewing with either coffee pods or ground coffee takes less than five minutes under the operating conditions described in the instructions.

These instructions cover first-time setup, coffee pod brewing, reusable filter operation, hot-water dispensing, cleaning, descaling, troubleshooting, and warranty service.
