Using the KRUPS
“Premium”
coffeemaker
Filling the water chamber
W
dpen the hinged lid (figure
1).
n Using the glass carafe, pour in the
desired quantity of water (figure
2).
n The markings on the glass carafe
and water level indicator show how
much water you are filling into the
chamber (figure 3).
The amount of freshly brewed coffee
delivered after the brewing process will
always be slightly less than the amount
of water put into the water chamber.
This is due to the minimum absorption
of the water by the ground coffee.
Therefore, it is recommended that you
add a little extra water at the
beginning, so that you will have the
number of cups you desire.
Note: Excess water in the water tank
cannot be poured out of the appliance.
To eliminate any excess water, allow
the coffee maker to operate without
coffee grounds.
W
Close the hinged lid.
Putting in the ground coffee
W
Press the release button and swing
out the 2-part filter holder (figure
4).
n Insert the KRUPS
goldtone
filter into
the filter insert (figure 5).
If you desire, you can use paper filters
instead of the
goldtone
filter. We
recommend using KRUPS size 4 filters.
n Add the ground coffee (figure
6).
We suggest using one level KRUPS
measuring scoop of ground coffee for
each cup of robust coffee. After using
your KRUPS coffeemaker several
times, you can adjust the measure to
suit your own taste.
