inserted into the basket. Add the desired amount of

scoop of ground coffee per cup. Always use coffee that is
ground for drip style coffeemakers. you can use less to
suit your taste.

level tablespoons or scoops for this 12-cup coffeemaker.

For finely ground coffee, use no more than 9 tablespoons
or scoops. Slide brew basket into position.
