Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans.
If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest
expiration date, or buy a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a medium
grind. This will yield best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly
ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield
better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (5 g) of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
(3/4 tablespoon [4 g]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also
cause Filter Basket to overflow.
• Make sure your Coffee Maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning”
section.
Water Filter Notification
If Coffee Maker is left plugged in, ( ) will show in the display after 60
cycles. This symbol means that Water Filter should be replaced.
How to Replace Water Filter (optional)
NOTE: For better-tasting coffee, use a water filter.
1. Soak Water Filter with Pod for 15 minutes in water.
2. Add filter pod to bottom of Water Filter and snap on filter handle.
3. Place assembly into opening on bottom of Water Reservoir.
NOTE: The brew cycle counter resets every time Coffee Maker is
unplugged or when power is lost.
