Fill urn to desired water level. You
must brew a minimum of 12 cups.
Do not fill beyond 30-cup line.
Wet coffee basket (to help keep
small particles of ground coffee
from sifting through).
NOTE:
We recommend using
coffee that has been ground
specifically for use in a
percolator-
type
coffeemaker. However, coffee
marked “For All Coffeemakers” is
acceptable. If using a coffee grinder
and whole beans, percolator coffee
should be a coarse grind. Finely
ground coffee may cause the basket
to overflow and result in grounds in
the coffee.

and stem.
