11. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This
comes in handy if someone requests decaf, sugar coated or
flavored coffee.
• Open the lid for the ground coffee funnel (Fig. 1.8). The display
shows
FILL POWDER. Fill the funnel with one or two scoops
of ground coffee.
Important: Do NOT fill this funnel with instant coffee and do
not use more than two level scoops of coffee.
• Close the funnel lid. The F7 will tamp the ground coffee.
SELECT CUP BUTTON.
• Push the 1-Cup or 2-Cup button. The display shows the cup
size. As long as the Dial (Fig. 3a) is illuminated, you can still
change the cup size.
Please note: If you accidentally open the funnel lid, just close
it again. The display shows NOT ENOUGH POWDER and
then returns to READY.
Please note: After use of sugar coated or flavored coffee
through the pre-ground coffee funnel you may experience some
flavor transfer when switching back to your regular coffee.
• Push the Rinse Button (Fig. 3g) The display shows
RINSING.
The F7 performs a rinse cycle and returns to READY.

READY – 1 OZ. to 16 OZ. – CLOSE TAP - READY
The hot water feature allows you to make a cup of tea, soup or
add hot water to your coffee, making it less strong.
