Brewing coffee
Lift the water reservoir lid and fill the water reservoir with 1500ml of water (about one full glass)
Put 8-10 tablespoons of finely ground coffee into the reusable mesh filter for a full glass of
coffee
Note: regular coffee grounds require more coffee per cup to achieve the strength of finer coffee
grounds
Gently shake the mesh filter to distribute the coffee evenly.
Place the mesh filter into the filter basket and place the filter basket into the brewing chamber
(see image above)
Close the top lid.
Place the glass onto the base.
Plug the power cord into a standard 230-volt AC electrical outlet.
Press the switch; the switch indicator light will illuminate verifying that the coffeemaker is
operating.
Caution: Do not open the filter bracket during the brewing cycle as scalding may occur.
Allow all the coffee to drip from the filter bracket into the glass before removing the glass.
Note: since coffee grounds absorb some water during the brewing process, the amount of
brewed coffee will be slightly less than the amount of water put into the reservoir.
Brewing a Second Glass of Coffee:
To brew another Glass of coffee, allow the coffeemaker to completely cool down (about three
minutes) after the switch has shut off.
Rinse the Glass and the Reusable Mesh Filter with water.
Repeat the brewing procedure.
Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee:
Always use fresh and cold water.
For stronger or milder coffee, increase or decrease the amount of coffee grounds to suit your
taste.
Finer coffee grinds, such as Drip and Automatic Drip Coffeemaker (ADC) coffee grounds,
promote a full extraction of flavor and a rich, full-bodied coffee.
Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee grounds,
tightly reseal it and store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
Do not reuse coffee grounds; this greatly reduces the coffee's flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Clean regularly as specified in
the "Care and Maintenance" section.
Prevent an oily build-up: A small amount of oil on the surface of brewed coffee is due to the
release of oil from roasted coffee beans. Heavily-roasted coffee beans release more oil than
others. Regularly cleaning your Coffeemaker will prevent an oily buildup.
