Preparing For Use
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee:
For best results, use medium ground coffee and the Coffee Scoop that is included
with your coffeemaker for accurate measurements. Coffee experts agree that
one factor to create the perfect cup is using more coffee. This coffeemakers
Removable Filter Basket holds more capacity for coffee grounds compared to
our other coffeemakers. Use the suggested coffee measurements as a guide for
creating your perfect cup.

BREWING COFFEE NOW
There are two convenient ways to add water to your Mr. Coffee
®
coffeemaker:
Figure 9
1
Lift up the front water
reservoir lid and pour
in cold, fresh filtered
water until the water
window fills to the
desired capacity.
(Figure 9)
Note: To unfasten the Removable Splash Guard, lift from the finger hole.
TIP:
This is convenient
if the back of your
coffeemaker is
underneath a cabinet
or other obstruction.
Note:
For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on
the glass Carafe and on the water window show the
amount of water needed to make the corresponding
desired number of cups.
• Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” on the
water window or water will flow out of the overfill
hole in the back of the coffeemaker. (Figure 11)
• The amount of coffee brewed will always be
slightly less than the amount of water poured in the
water reservoir. This is due to absorption of water
by the coffee grounds.
• Make sure the Carafe is securely placed on the
warming plate or the water and the grounds will
overflow from the Removable Filter Basket.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damaging the carafe, do not add cold
water to the carafe if it is hot. Allow it to cool before using.

If using 10-12 cup basket-style paper filters, the sides of the filter must
fit flush against the side of the Removable Filter Basket. If filter collapse
occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the Removable Filter Basket and
adding ground coffee.
