Brewing Coffee
Clean the Coffeemaker Before First Use
Follow the steps under “Adding Water and Ground Coffee” and “Brewing Coffee Now,”
(Pages 8 – 10) but do not add coffee grounds.
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use coffee ground for use with automatic drip coffeemakers.
The amounts shown below are suggested amounts.
• two level tablespoons = one level scoop
• one cup = five ounces brewed coffee
4) Be certain that the filter is centered in the
filter basket. Close the brew basket.
5) Fill the water reservoir with the desired amount
of tap water.
Use the water window marks to measure the
water, not the decanter marks. The decanter
marks measure brewed coffee only.
