Making Coffee (B)
Before using the coffee maker for the first time,
after a long period of not using it, or after installing
a new charcoal water filter, run the coffee maker
through a complete brew cycle without ground
coffee. Use a full carafe (12 cups) of fresh cold
water. This will remove any dust from the manufac-
turing process or residues that have remained in the
unit.
•
Open the reservoir cover (6).
•
When filling the water reservoir (3) with fresh cold
water, refer to the carafe height markings or the
water level indicator (inside the water reservoir)
and fill to the desired number of cups.
•
To prepare the exact amount of coffee for the
Braun Mug2Go (available separately as
accessory), fill to the corresponding water mark
(11 oz.) inside the reservoir.
•
Insert the gold tone permanent filter (5) or a
paper filter (cone type # 4) in the filter basket (4).
•
Add the desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of cups being
brewed. We recommend using 1 tablespoon or
1 coffee scoop of ground coffee per cup, but use
more or less to suit your taste.
•
Close the water reservoir and place the carafe in
its position on the keep warm plate (9).
•
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet and press
the On/Off button (1).
•
Press the BREW button (a) to start brewing
immediately or press AUTO ON (b) to commence
brewing at the pre-set time.
•
During brewing, the indicator light will flash
continuously. Once the brewing cycle is complete,
the light will turn solid green indicating the coffee
maker is in «keep warm» mode.
NOTE:
The anti drip system halts the flow of coffee
from the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so
a cup can be poured before brewing is finished.
The carafe should be returned to the keep warm
plate (maximum 20 seconds) to prevent the filter
basket from overflowing.
For Best Results
•
Be sure to add a small amount of extra water to
account for the amount of water lost in wetting the
grounds and through evaporation during the
brewing process.
•
When using paper filters, be sure that it is
completely open and fully inserted in the basket.
It may help to fold and flatten the seams of the
paper filter beforehand.
•
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it
before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at
the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat
stronger than the coffee at the top.
NOTE:
The maximum amount of ground coffee the
coffee maker can take is 15 scoops or tablespoons.
Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the
coffee is too finely ground.
