BREWING WITH THE MY K-CUP®
ACCESSORY
The Breville Gourmet Single Cup Brewer™
comes with a My K-Cup
®
accessory. The
dishwasher safe, reusable My K-Cup
®
allows you to use your own grind of coffee
so you can adjust the amount and type of
coffee to suit your tastes. Along with the
included measuring scoop, this accessory
conveniently stores in the easy open
compartment on top of the brewer.
1. Follow the instructions, Installing the
Water Filter (page 9) and the One-time
Priming Process (page 10). The Brewer
should be turned on and the Water Tank
should be filled and illuminated.
NOTE:
Do not use water that has been
treated by a 'water softener'. The
increase in sodium levels in the
water can cause scaling in the
brewer and hinder its performance.
2. The LCD screen will indicate ‘READY
TO BREW’.
NOTE:
If the ‘BREW’ button is not pressed
in 60 seconds, the LCD screen
will indicate ‘OPEN HEAD’ and the
‘BREW’ button will be disabled to
prevent accidental activation. To
re-activate the brew sequence,
open the Brewing Chamber Head
by raising and lowering the Safety
Locking Arm completely.
3. Place a cup or mug on the Drip Tray
Plate. The drip tray plate and drip tray
can be removed to accomodate taller
mugs and travel mugs.
NOTE:
There is extremely hot water in the
K-Cup
®
Holder during the brewing
process. To avoid risk of injury, do
not raise the Safety Locking Arm or
open the Brewing Chamber during
the brewing process.
Following the brew, the LCD screen
will indicate ‘HEATING’ as the
Brewer heats the water for the next
brew cycle. This process lasts about
15 seconds. The pump will make a
vibrating sound. This is normal.
9. Raise the Safety Locking Arm, remove
and dispose of the used K-Cup
®
. Use
caution as the K-Cup
®
will be hot.
10. Enjoy your first cup of gourmet coffee,
tea or hot cocoa!
11. The LCD screen will indicate ‘READY
TO BREW’, indicating that the next
K-Cup
®
can be inserted for the next
brew cycle.

4. Open the storage compartment located
on top of the Brewer by pressing the
finger indent on the right side. Remove
the My K-Cup
®
accessory.
5. Disassemble the My K-Cup
®
accessory
by removing the Lid from the Holder in a
counterclockwise direction. Remove the
Filter Basket from the Holder.
6. Wash the My K-Cup
®
Lid, Filter Basket
and Holder in warm soapy water prior to
first use. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
7. Insert the Filter Basket into the Holder.
8. Use the My K-Cup
®
Measuring Scoop
to fill the Filter Basket with 1 level scoop
maximum of coffee. 1 level scoop is
equivalent to 2 tablespoons. Alternatively,
there are line markings on the inside
of the Filter Basket that indicate 1
tablespoon and 2 tablespoons so you
can adjust the amount of coffee to your
personal preference. Do not fill the Filter
Basket with more than one level scoop
of coffee or tamp the grinds. Ensure the
coffee remains loose and there are no
coffee grinds remaining on the upper
rim of the Filter Basket. Screw on the
Lid to seal.
NOTE:
1 level scoop = 2 tablespoons
We recommend this for the small
mug 7.25 oz. serving.
Or, if you like a stronger brew, select
the small cup 5.25 oz. serving.
If you grind your own beans:
1. Start with a coarser grind similar
to a French Press grind.
2. Experiment with grinds similar to
drip brewing grinds.
3. Avoid a fine espresso grind
setting that could clog the
Filter Basket or result in poor
extraction.
9. Raise the Safety Locking Arm. The
Brewing chamber will open toward you.
10. Place the assembled My K-Cup
®
Holder into the Brewing Chamber.
To do this:
a) Remove the K-Cup
®
Holder from the
Brewing Chamber (10a). Store the
K-Cup
®
Holder in the My K-Cup
®
Storage compartment located on
top of the Brewer.
b) Insert the assembled My K-Cup
®
Holder into the Brewing Chamber
(10b), ensuring to align the arrow
on the My K-Cup
®
Lid with the
arrow in the Brewing Chamber.
