Brewing Coffee

To Brew Use This Amount of Ground Coffee
8 cups 7 tablespoons or 3-1/2 scoops

5) Open the reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with
cold water to the desired cup level on the water
window (up to 8 cups).
6) Place the empty thermal carafe on the base.
To achieve the best performance, rinse
the thermal carafe with warm water.
This will improve the heat retaining
capabilities of the thermal carafe.
While brewing, the Brew-Thru lid must
be on the thermal carafe and the arrow
on the lid must be aligned with
the spout.
Otherwise, the carafe may overflow.
Make sure the thermal carafe is squarely
centered on the base or the water and
grounds will overflow from the brew
basket. An overflow may cause personal
injury or damage to property.
