3. Fill with ground coffee (Figure 6).
The amount of ground coffee to be used is a matter of taste. One
measuring spoonful (approx. 6-7g/2 TBS) is recommended per cup
for medium strength coffee. Swing back the filter until it clicks into
position. Ensure that the filter liner is properly seated (Figure 7).
4. Screw lid clockwise onto the thermal carafe and place on
the carafe base.
The lid must always be screwed onto the carafe because it
activates the anti-drip valve (Figure 8). Although closed, coffee
enters the carafe brew-through lid. It will remain hot and fresh
for several hours.
5. Switch on the appliance (Figure 9).
Plug appliance into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet. Using the on/off
switch (Figure 9/B), turn appliance on. The LED light (Figure
9/A) lights up.
6. Remove the thermal carafe.
When the carafe has been removed, the anti-drip valve (Figure
8) prevents surplus water from dripping on the carafe base.
Therefore make sure that the filter liner (Figure 7) is properly
seated.
To pour coffee, open the lid of the carafe by turning in a
counter-clockwise direction (or until the raised round mark is
over the spout). After pouring, close the lid by turning it in a
clockwise direction until it is tight. This will help keep the rest
of the coffee hot.
Unplug and allow to cool for 5 minutes between brewing
cycles.
IMPORTANT: If coffeemaker is not allowed to cool before
immediate repeated use, water placed in water carafe may
become overheated. A spray of steam could be released from
openings, creating a risk of burns.
Flavorings
Try adding 1 teaspoon of your favorite flavoring, e.g. vanilla,
hazelnut, or caramel to coffee before adding frothed milk. Adjust
to taste.
To froth or heat milk
You can make cappuccino, café latte and hot chocolate, or even
just heat milk using the frothed milk spout (Figure 2/A, B, C, D).
