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, 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 fresh water 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 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)

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.
