The water reservoir can hold up to 60 oz. of
water. The water reservoir can be filled in
one of two ways:

water directly into the reservoir until it is full,
or remove the reservoir and bring directly to
the sink. Do not exceed the max fill line.
Return the water reservoir to the unit, and
flip the cover back in place.

coffee is 4 tablespoons.

some of the coffee grounds from the brew
basket. Press the Brew button to resume the

If your preferences differ from these you will
need to change the settings. Select the type,
strength and amount of coffee you desire.
a. Select POD if you are using a pod, and
GRND if you are using ground coffee.
b. If you prefer regular coffee, select REG; if
you prefer a bolder coffee taste, select
BOLD.

coffee will remain selected until a) the unit is
unplugged or b) new settings are selected.
If the unit has been unplugged between uses,
the unit will reset to the default settings (POD/
REG/6 oz).
6. Start the Brew Cycle
When your Cup-O-Matic
coffeemaker has
reached the correct temperature the Power
light will stop flashing. At this time the unit
will be in standby mode. The Power and
Default/Last-selected Setting buttons will be
illuminated. Check to make sure your
preferred type, strength and amount of
coffee are selected, and place your cup/mug

seconds.

and ready to brew for two hours after use.
To empty the brew cup of used pods/grounds,
remove brew cup from unit. Use the slide lock
to put the brew cup in the locked position. This
