Coffee Maker Use
Brewing Coffee
NOTE: Brew one mug of fresh, cool water
and discard before brewing the first mug of
coffee (first time use only).
1. Remove the water tank and fill with
enough fresh, cool water to make the
desired amount of coffee. When replacing
the tank, make sure to align it with the
tab(s).
NOTE: The tank can be filled without
removing the tank from the coffee maker.
2. After filling the water tank, place the
thermal travel mug in the coffee maker.
To maximize coffee temperature, it is
recommend that brew coffee with the lid
already placed on the mug. Make sure that
the lid is centered. You may also fill the
mug with hot tap water for 30 seconds to
preheat for hotter coffee temperatures.
NOTE: The coffee maker is capable of
brewing into most tall-sided coffee mugs.
3. Open the brew basket door. Brew basket
may be removed, but can be filled without
removing it from the front of the coffee
maker.
4. Insert a #2 Cone paper filter or the Gold
Tone permanent filter into the brew
basket.
IMPORTANT: Do not use both types of
filters at the same time. Using both filters
might cause water and coffee to overflow
the brew basket.
5. Fill the filter with one level tablespoon of
ground coffee for each 6 oz. desired. Use
a medium grind appropriate for automatic
drip coffee makers.
NOTE: Too fine a grind produces
bitterness and may clog the coffee filter.
IMPORTANT:Always place the filter and
coffee into the removable brew basket.
Do not operate the coffee maker without
the brew basket in place.
6. Even out the bed of coffee. If the brew
basket is removed, place the mounting
holes over the pins in the door and seat
it securely in the door. Be sure the brew
basket door is fully closed before brewing.
7. Press the ON button to begin brewing
coffee.
8. The coffee maker will sound the end-of-
brewing tone when brewing is complete.
NOTE: The outside of the travel mug
will be hot to the touch after brewing.
9. Repeat this procedure to brew additional
mugs of coffee. Always turn off the coffee
maker and allow it to cool for 5 minutes
before starting the next brew cycle.
Pre-Use Cleaning
Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone permanent
filter, and travel mug in hot, soapy water,
then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not
use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
