HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP
Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart:
For best results, brew 4 or more cups of coffee.
Paper Filters vs. Reusable Filters
PAPER FILTERS
: To achieve a smoother cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It
will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.
REUSABLE FILTERS
: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It
will allow the coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny
holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.
Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98% water.
The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always
use clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft
water or well water. Please refer to the “Advanced Water Filtration” section
to learn more about how your coffee maker reduces impurities in water.
Cleanliness
A clean coffee maker is essential to brewing great tasting coffee each and
every time. This coffee maker is equipped with a cleaning cycle. Please
refer to the next page for steps on routine cleaning.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Daily Cleaning
• Make sure your coffee maker is unplugged and has cooled
completely before cleaning.
• Remove the brew baskets, reusable filters, carafe, carafe lid, and
wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry
thoroughly. You can also place in the dishwasher; top-rack only.
