BREWING COFFEE WITH LOOSE-GROUND COFFEE
-
Lift cover. Pour cold water up to the Max fill line in the water reservoir (unless using the instructions in the following note).
Note: If desired, before placing the mug on the mug rest, remove the lid from the travel mug and add sweetener, cream, or milk to the mug before brewing; replace the lid before placing the mug on the mug rest. If using this tip do not fill the reservoir to the Max line; leave space in the reservoir to allow for room in the mug once the coffee is brewed. -

Note: There will be slightly less coffee in your travel mug than the amount of water added, as the grounds absorb some of the liquid.
Tip: Your coffeemaker can also be used to brew hot water for other hot beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, instant oatmeal, and soups. To brew hot water and avoid coffee flavor, remove the permanent filter and basket and follow the brewing process (without adding grounds).

Why does the carafe leak?
The carafe may leak if it is not put on a flat surface or if it is handled roughly. Please make sure that you place the carafe on a flat surface, and handle it gently when pouring out the coffee.
How do I clean my coffeemaker?
Unplug your coffeemaker before cleaning. To clean your coffeemaker, use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent to wipe any dirt or stains from the inside and outside of your coffeemaker. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they may scratch the surface of your coffeemaker.
How do I descale my coffeemaker?
If you notice that your coffee tastes bitter, you may need to descale your coffeemaker. To descale, add one cup of white vinegar to your coffeemaker and run a brewing cycle with one cup of water (do not add any coffee). Repeat this process until your vinegar runs clear. Then run two cycles using only water to remove any vinegar residue from your machine. If you still notice a bitter taste after descaling, please contact Black & Decker at www.blackanddecker.com /contact-us or call 1-800-544-6986 for assistance.
