GETTING STARTED

Unpack your Coffeemaker

1. Unpack your coffeemaker and remove plastic bags, cartons and any tape  on the unit.
   WARNING : KEEP PLASTIC BAGS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Clean Coffeemaker Before Use
Just follow these simple steps:

1. Wash the carafe lid and the brew basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
2. Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle by adding only water to the coffeemaker. After adding water, press Brew Now.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off. Turn your coffeemaker off by pressing the Brew Now button again.
4. Discard the water in the carafe and rinse the carafe, carafe lid, and brew basket.
   NOTE : Carafe and brew basket are top-rack dishwashers safe. The water Filtration System is NOT!

Setting the Clock
Plug in the coffeemaker and set the current time using the hour and minute buttons. 5 Seconds of inactivity will set the clock at the time selected.

Water Filtration System
Using the Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water filter (sold separately, unless included) during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. To use the water filtration system in your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:

1. Align the red indicator on the frame to the letter that corresponds with the month that you are using the disk for the first time. This serves to remind you to change the disk every month (approx. 50 brewing cycles). To change the disk, remove the used disk, and insert new disk into the frame. NOTE: For optimum results, use the water filtration system with a permanent filter.
2. Rinse the water filter in freshwater before use.
3. Follow Adding Water and Coffee Instructions.
4. Position the filter on top of the brew basket, and brew according to your particular model’s brewing instructions.
5. When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart:

*Using fine coffee or decaf may cause overflow.

1. Fill the carafe with fresh cold water to the desired
   level. 1 Mr. Coffee “cup” is equivalent to 5 fluid ounces. Pour into Water Reservoir.
   NOTE : Some water will be absorbed into the coffee grounds and water filter during the brewing process.

2. Insert and line the brew basket with a standard basket-style paper filter (sold separately) or reusable filter (if included).

3. Referencing the chart above, scoop the equivalent amount of coffee grounds into the filter using a tablespoon.

4. You are ready to Brew Now!

5. Enjoy fresh coffee every time!

BREW NOW

1. After filling the coffeemaker with water and grounds, press the Brew Now button to brew instantly.
2. Brew Now light will illuminate to indicate brewing.
3. The coffeemaker warming plate will keep the coffee hot for up to 2 hours and then will automatically shut off. The brew now button will remain illuminated while the warming plate is ON.
   NOTE: Push Brew Now button prior to 2 hours to turn the coffeemaker off early.

BREW LATER

IMPORTANT : You must set the clock before using this feature.

1. Press Brew Later. The display flashes “12:00”. To set desired brew time, press the Hour and Minute buttons. 5 seconds of inactivity will set brew later at time selected.
2. The Brew Later indicator will light up, showing that the coffeemaker is pre-set to brew at a later time. If you change your mind and wish to turn off the Brew Later feature, simply press the Brew Later button again and it will turn off. Once the Brew Later time is set, the coffeemaker will automatically remember it until you change it or unplug the machine.
   NOTE : As a reminder, if you want to continue to use the Brew Later feature, you will have to press Brew Later each time. Your coffeemaker will not automatically start again the next day.

HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

Paper Filters vs. Reusable Filters
PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother, less bitter cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.
REUSABLE FILTERS : For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It will allow the coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.

COFFEEMAKER EXTRAS
(not included with all models)

Reusable Filter

Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the “Water Filtration” section to learn more about how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water.
Cleanliness
A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great-tasting coffee each and every time.

ROUTINE CLEANING

Daily Cleaning
CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled completely before cleaning.

• Remove the brew basket, filter, carafe, carafe lid, and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can also place in the dishwasher; top-rack only.

Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® PC05 Series Coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits using vinegar.

1. IMPORTANT: Remove the water filtration system from the coffeemaker.
2. Prepare 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. / 592ml of undiluted, white household vinegar. Pour the vinegar into the water reservoir.
3. Place an empty 5 cup basket-style paper filter or MR. COFFEE® reusable filter into the brew basket and close the coffeemaker’s lid.
4. Place the empty carafe back in the unit, centered on the warming plate.
5. Brew prepared cleaning solution through the coffeemaker.
6. Turn the coffeemaker off and let stand for 30 minutes.
7. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
8. Fill the water reservoir with 5 cups of clean, fresh water.
9. Place the empty carafe back on the coffeemaker, centered on the warming plate.
10. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the cleaning cycle. If a MR. COFFEE® reusable filter was used during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before replacing it in the brew basket.
11. Turn the switch to ON and allow the full brew cycle to complete, rinsing the coffeemaker with hot water.
12. Discard the water and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
13. Repeat steps 8 through 12 one more time, to ensure it is fully rinsed.

Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next pot of delicious, hot coffee!
NOTE: It is recommended that you decalcify your coffeemaker every 30 days.

FAQ’s

How does Mr. Coffee’s auto-pause work?

Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause is a lifesaver when you need a cup before the brew cycle is finished. It stops brewing so you can pour a rich-tasting cup and then finishes the brewing cycle after you place the carafe back in position. We put our best brewing forward with this easy-to-use, Simple Brew coffee maker.

What is auto-pause on the coffee makers?

AUTO-PAUSE: Grab-a-Cup Auto Pause stops the brewing cycle if you want to grab a cup before brewing is finished. AUTO SHUT-OFF: 4-Hour Auto-Shutoff automatically turns off the coffee maker, so you don’t have to.

Do Mr. Coffee makers shut off automatically?

This new design also includes a Grab-a-Cup Auto Pause feature that allows you to pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished, and its 4-hour auto shut- off automatically turns off the coffeemaker so you don’t have to. Just sit back, sip, and enjoy!

Does Mr. Coffee’s 5 cups turn off automatically?

It’s also equipped with a Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause feature that allows you to stop the brewing cycle to pour a cup, and then continue brewing until complete. After 2 hours the coffeemaker will automatically shut off. All you need to do is sit back, sip, and enjoy!

How long does a Mr. Coffee maker stay on?

With its adjustable Keep Warm setting, the coffee maker keeps your coffee at the perfect temperature for 1 to 4 hours. After 4 hours, the machine shuts off automatically for peace of mind. A clean machine means better-tasting coffee.

How does a programmable coffee maker work?

A programmable coffee maker can be preset in advance to brew at a specific time later on. All you have to do is fill the water reservoir and filter basket, set your desired brew time, and the machine will complete the process on its own.

Should I turn my coffee machine off every night?

According to Michael, It’s best to turn a machine off when not in use. He says the heating and cooling is gradual enough that it causes no detrimental wear and tear on machine parts due to thermal expansion and contraction.

How often do you change your coffee makers?

Quality coffee makers typically last at least 5 years. High-quality machines that are maintained well can last longer than 10 years. This is the average lifespan of a good coffee maker, but various factors influence how long coffee makers last.

How often should I clean Mr. Coffee?

The Mr. Coffee® Thermal Carafe can keep your brew hot for hours, so, understandably, you might forget it once in a while! Just empty the pot and give it a rinse to prevent buildup. Grab a scrubby with a handle to wipe down the inside every night before readying the machine for your next day’s brewing.

Do coffee makers expire?

The lifespan of a coffee maker can vary greatly. Some people can use the same coffee maker for a few decades while other machines only last a few years.

How do you use a Mr. Coffee programmable coffee maker?

Pop a paper 10-12 cup basket filter into the filter basket and add the coffee. Always make sure you have a paper filter in there, or you’ll end up with a hot pot of grounds. Close the lid, and switch the power button to the ON position. You’re done!

What is the purpose of a coffee maker machine?

A coffeemaker, coffee maker, or coffee machine is a cooking appliance used to brew coffee. While there are many different types of coffeemakers, the two most common brewing principles use gravity or pressure to move hot water through coffee grounds.

What is the brewing temperature of Mr. Coffee?

It combines a high brew temperature of up to 205° and a faster brew speed, resulting in nothing short of exceptional-tasting coffee. Double-walled, stainless steel thermal carafe holds that fresh flavor and temperature, without a warming plate, to maintain coffee’s true character and taste.

What voltage is Mr. Coffee?

this model is 110V-120V.

How do you maintain a coffee machine?

Full cleaning of the coffee brewing unit. Check steam pressure. Clean and sanitize the water tank. Clean all internal metal contact points. Check grinder settings. Complete cleaning of the outside of the machine. Clean the grounds tray and drip tray with hot water and detergent.
