Filtering Water
The quality of water you use directly affects the taste of your coffee.
The better the water, the better the coffee. With 123 Spresso you can
use household tap water or spring water. Never use carbonated
water.
We’ve included a “universal” Water Filter Holder. The Holder accepts
commonly available cylinder-type filters, allowing you to use the brand
of your personal preference.
To use the Filter Holder, place it on top of the empty water tank. It fits
comfortably into the top of the tank. Add your filter. Always
follow the
filter manufacturer’s directions for use, especially when using a
fresh filter.
When you have prepared the filter and placed it into the Holder on the
Water Tank Lid, you may add water.
Again, follow the filter manufacturer’s directions. Make sure that
water has actually flowed into the tank before you start brewing.
Filter flow rates vary from brand to brand, so always check first.

• Let approximately 2 ounces of hot water drain into the heat proof
container you placed on the Cup Rest Grill. There will be some
run-off water in the Water Overflow Tray. This is normal.
• Then turn the Function Selector back to the “NEUTRAL” position.
CAUTION: YOU MUST STOP THE WATER FLOW BY TURNING
THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO “NEUTRAL.” THE WATER
FLOW DOES NOT STOP AUTOMATICALLY.
8. When the water stops flowing from the coffee spout, carefully
dispose of hot water in the cup and the Water Overflow Tray. Your
123 Spresso is now ready to use.
