Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1) Swing open the brew basket and, if desired,
lift out the removable filter insert.
If using paper filters, it is important
that the sides of the filter fit flush
against the sides of the filter insert.
If filter collapse occurs, for best
results, dampen the filter before
placing it in the brew basket and
adding ground coffee.
2) Place a MR. COFFEE ® brand 8-12 cup
paper filter or a MR. COFFEE ®
permanent filter in the filter basket.
