3. Set Up Brew Basket
For brewing into the carafe use the carafe brew basket (with stopper). For brewing into a mug use the single cup
brew basket (cone style). Select the appropriate filter and place into brew basket. Add desired amount of coffee
for taste preference (typically 1 tbsp per cup). Slide the brew basket into the brewer.
CAUTION – Ensure brew basket is completely inserted, otherwise problems may occur such as excessive
steam or overfilling.
4. Coffee Filter Selection
10-12 cup flat bottom filter for carafe, #4 cone filter for single cup brew basket. Filters vary in height. It is important
to select a filter that extends to the top of the brew basket, otherwise coffee grounds may overfill the filter.
5. Position Carafe or Mug
Position an EMPTY carafe or mug in the BREW EXPRESS under the brew basket. The detection sensor
will not allow the brewer to operate unless the carafe or mug is positioned under the brew basket. The brew light
will blink if nothing is detected. When using a cup or mug, place it back far enough to activate sensor.
Keep lid on carafe during ALL uses. The lever should be placed towards the handle, and must be depressed by thumb to pour.
WARNING: ALWAYS EMPTY CARAFE OR MUG PRIOR TO STARTING THE UNIT OR OVERFILLING WILL OCCUR.
6. Cup Selection
Select the amount of water by pressing the “Cup Selector” button. The icons on the button will illuminate to indicate
selection. The volume of water for each setting is approximately 8 oz (2 cup), 23 oz (1/2 carafe) and 50 oz
(full carafe). The volume of water for each setting can be increased if desired. This is done by increasing the brew
time (see below).
To increase volume:
a. Select volume to change using the “Cup Selector” button.
b. Press and hold the “Cup Selector” button for 5 seconds.
c. The display now shows the current time duration (default: 2 cup = 70 sec,
