The benefits of our coffee machine
Energy-saving eco brewing process
The filter coffee machine is highly energy-efficient. The coffee machine automatically switches to 0 watt standby mode after the brewing process.
Optimum brewing temperature
The machine's water tank and brewing system are located above the filter. An optimum brewing temperature of the coffee is achieved due to the short distance between the water tank and the filter.
Long-lasting coffee enjoyment
The thermal jug with break-proof vacuum cylinder made of stainless steel ensures a long-lasting, hot coffee enjoyment. At the same time, the heat-insulated outer housing prevents the risk of unpleasant burns.

Coffee machine – energy-saving and elegant
Capsule coffee machine, fully-automatic or the classic filter machine? When deciding which coffee machine is the right one, you should first pose the question of how much coffee you drink a day. If you drink several cups in the morning alone or often have guests to visit, you should think about purchasing a filter coffee machine with a capacity of at least 8 cups. Filter coffee has been trendy again for years and is regarded by many as the purest way to enjoy coffee. In November 2015, ritterwerk therefore added a coffee machine to its range. With the coffee machine, form once again follows function: For example, the machine works with an energy-saving, environmentally friendly brewing process, which is determined by construction and design.

COFFEE MACHINE
The energy-saving filter coffee machine
The coffee machine directly combines a timeless look with functionality. The machine’s design ensures an energy saving brewing process. The instantaneous water heater is directly below the water tank, which is why the water only has to cover short distances during coffee preparation. This arrangement is not only elegant and space saving, it also has several practical advantages: the machine reaches a higher brewing temperature with low energy consumption. In addition, no residual water remains in the heater or the pipes, which protects against calcification. Even if you only want to make one or two cups, you immediately get hot coffee, brewed from fresh water. In the standby mode, the consumption is zero watts. The coffee machine also has an insulated jug with a break-resistant vacuum cylinder made of stainless steel, which can also be used as a serving jug.

Manufacture
Made in Germany - since 1905
We stand out in particular because all of our household appliances - whether food slicers or peelers, our high-quality breakfast line consisting of toasters, kettles and coffee machines, our cordless hand blender or our built-in appliances - continue to be produced exclusively in Germany. “made in Germany” is firmly anchored in our business philosophy. The production of household appliances here at our facility in Gröbenzell near Munich means far more to us than just preserving and creating jobs. High quality standards, the right materials for form and use, and functional design are at the core of our business and the associated tradition of the Bauhaus movement of the 1920s.
Frequently asked questions about our coffee machine
Do you have any questions about our coffee machine? Here are some frequently asked questions and the corresponding answers. If your question has not been included or still isn’t sufficiently clarified, we will be pleased to assist you.
The coffee machine can be used to make up to 8 cups of 125 ml filter coffee. The number of cups can be read on the water level indicator in the water tank. The water tank and brewing system of the machine are located above the filter. The short distance between the water tank and filter reduces temperature losses and therefore saves energy. The thermal jug is lined with a vacuum stainless steel cylinder, so that it can be used to both keep the coffee warm and as a serving jug. The thermal jug holds up to 1 litre of coffee. The coffee machine switches off automatically shortly after the brewing process. The standby consumption totals 0 Watts. The automatic limescale stop function prevents premature wear and tear and increased energy consumption due to calcified parts of the appliance.
This is a matter of taste and depends on personal preference. There is a guideline, however, that says that you should put about 5-7 g of ground coffee per cup into the machine. On the ritter coffee machine, with a maximum fill level (8 cups), that would be approx. 40 g of coffee powder.
It isn't possible to make a blanket statement here as both have their advantages and disadvantages. Here they are:
Disposable filters
Easier to clean because the coffee grounds can be disposed of together with the filter
Different versions as they are adapted to the variety of coffee
New filters have to be bought regularly (higher costs, damage to the environment)
Permanent filters:
Experts claim that a good quality permanent filter results in a superior flavour of the coffee
It isn't necessary to buy new filters all the time (cost saving, environmental protection)
More frequent cleaning requirement, leading to higher water consumption
Can’t be matched with the type of coffee
A thermal jug has the following advantages over a glass jug:
Its internal, breakproof stainless steel cylinder prevents the coffee jug from breaking
It can also be used as a serving jug on the table, keeping the coffee warm
The thermal jug is insulated, preventing scalding
The thermal jug is energy-saving, as there is no need for an energy-consuming heating hotplate
At the end of its service life this product may not be disposed of as part of normal domestic waste. It must be taken to a dedicated collection point for recycling electrical and electronic devices.
Descale your coffee machine regularly. Regular de-scaling saves energy. The frequency with which you need to de-scale depends on the hardness of the water in your local area.
The following signs indicate that your coffee machine needs to be de-scaled:
The appliance switches off automatically, even though there is still some water in the water tank (automatic limescale detection feature).
There is visible lime-scale build-up in the water tank and in the riser tube
The brewing process is noticeably longer.
The brewing process is noisier than usual.
A significant amount of steam escapes during the brewing process.
To descale the appliance, follow the steps below:
Insert an empty paper filter into the filter holder to catch the limescale.
Mix 1.1 litres of de-scaling solution following the manufacturer’s instructions (if using vinegar or lemon essence, mix 1 part essence and 2 parts water).
Fill the water tank with descaling solution up to the “max” level shown on the water level indicator.
Switch the appliance on using the power switch.
Allow approx. two cupfuls to run through the appliance before switching it off.Leave the descaling solution to take effect for 20 to 30 minutes.
Switch the appliance on again and allow the remaining descaling solution to run through it.
Note: The appliance may switch off automatically, even though there is still some de-scaling solution in the water tank. If this happens, leave the solution to take effect again and then switch the appliance back on.
Rinse twice with fresh water.
Repeat the de-scaling process if necessary.
