A note about filters:

When using a permanent

gold-tone filter, be sure

that the handle is positioned away from the
grinder basket. If not, the handle may interfere
with the flow of coffee into the filter basket. 

Also note: using a permanent or gold-tone 
filter will allow some fine coffee grounds to
fall into the coffee carafe. This will appear 
as sediment in the carafe.

14. Finger Grips

Use these and the handle to easily lift the
grinder/filter basket out for cleaning.

15. Handle
