Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

• All coffees are made from either arabica beans robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date, or buy a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (5 g) of grounds for each cup of coffee being made.
• To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 tablespoon [4 g]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause Filter Basket to overflow.
• Make sure your Coffee Maker is clean. See the “Care and Cleaning” section.

Water Filter Notification

If the Coffee Maker is left plugged in, ( ) will show in the display after 60 cycles. This symbol means that the Water Filter should be replaced.
How to Replace Water Filter (optional)

2. Add filter pod to bottom of Water Filter and snap on filter handle.
3. Place the assembly into the opening on the bottom of the Water Reservoir.
   • NOTE: The brew cycle counter resets every time the Coffee Maker is unplugged or when power is lost.
