PREPARING FOR USE
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. Make sure you use medium
grind coffee for a perfect brew.
Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
To Brew Ground Coffee
4 Cups 3 tbsp.
2 Cups 1.5 tbsp.
1 level tablespoon (tbps) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.

Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Lift and open the filter basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift
out the removable filter basket.
2. Place a MR. COFFEE® brand 4 cup paper basket-style filter or a
MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket.
(Figure 2)
NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the
filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse
occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and
adding ground coffee and water.
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the
coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.
4. Be sure the filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in
the filter basket.
5. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy
and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the dual water windows
show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill
past the “MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in the
water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.
7. Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the
warming plate.
NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the
grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage
to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal
injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the
decanter to cool before using.
