CM1409-UL 4 Cup Drip Coffee Machine

Delicious Coffee Made Easily

Drip coffee machine are essentially automatic pour-over machines, and with pour-over coffee experiencing a resurgence, now might be the perfect time to try a drip coffee machine.
The Gevi drip coffee machine gets going with the pass of ON/OFF button, heating water to the optimal temperature for full flavor extraction.
Coffee brews into the improved glass carafe that is engineered for comfortable handling and drip-free pouring. All you need to do is sit back, sip and enjoy!
Its compact design makes it small enough to be used for a small household or second home, without sacrificing the features we love.
Its Grab-A-Cup auto pause capability allows you to pour a cup before the brewing cycle is finished, and the automatic shutoff makes you never have to worry about leaving the house in a hurry.

and filter insert are not dishwasher
safe).| Dry with a clean cloth.| Wipe the swing-out filter basket
with a damp and soft cloth.| Use a clean cloth to scrub the warming
plate.

Before First Use

Use a clean cloth to scrub the coffee machine.

NOTE

1. Permanent filter and spoon are dishwasher safe, coffee carafe and filter insert are not dishwasher safe.
2. Do not leave water over on the ON/OFF button and warming plate.
3. Do not immerse the coffee machine in water or any other liquid.

Step 5-Install Accessories

Insert the permanent filter into filter insert.| Install the filter insert by aligning its handle
with the groove on filter basket.| Hold the coffee machine and close the swingout
filter basket firmly.

Step 6-Test

Fill the glass carafe with fresh
and clean water(Do not exceed
4 cups).| Open the water tank cover.| Pour the water from the carafe into the water tank.| Close the water tank cover.

Hold the handle and place the glass carafe on the warming plate.| Insert the power plug into a 120V AC power outlet.| Press ON/OFF Button to start and ON/OFF Indicator is illuminated| After all water has passed through,
push the ON/OFF Button again
to turn off the coffee machine.

• Remove the coffee carafe from coffee machine.
• Pour away the water to empty the carafe. Repeat this steps for 2 times to clean the flow channel.

NOTE

1. Make sure that the water tank is clean & free of any debris, as any fine particles can block the water flow and damaging the machine.

2. Brew water through machine without adding powder. This removes any dust or residue that may remain in the system during the manufacturing process.

3. Never fill water above the 4-cup marking. The water tank has an overflow hole on the back.

4. Always make sure that the carafe is transported in an upright position.
   If you turn the carafe on its side or upside down with its cover closed, water may escape.

5. As our coffee machine is equipped with a UL plug and can work normally only when connected to a voltage of 100-120V, to prevent burning out, do not connect the coffee machine with any improper power supply(If the coffee machine is not connected to a voltage of 100-120V, you have to make sure an adapter is being used, otherwise it will not function normally or even could be burnt out).

The Quest For Perfect Coffee

5.1 Filling Water

Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee.
Every time to use water and ensure that water has removed chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew. Do not pour hot water, milk, ground coffee or tea into the water tank.

1. Do not let foreign objects enter the water tank.
2. We recommend using pure water.
3. The numbers(cup quantity) marked on the carafe correspond to that on the water tank. You can add water to the carafe and then fill it in the water tank.
4. Do not add more than a maximum of 4 cups of water into the water tank, otherwise, the water will leak from the overflow hole of the water tank.

5.2 Roast Degree of Coffee Beans

1. We recommend using light or medium roasted coffee beans or pre-ground coffee for making drip coffee. There are many types of beans on the market. To ensure best grinding results, high quality beans are recommended.
   Buildup of oils may occur more frequently if dark roasted coffee beans are used.
   Clean the coffee machine and filter more often when using oily beans.

2. Buy in small batches to reduce the storage time due to use freshly roasted coffee beans with a‘ roasted on’ date to maximize flavor, not a use-by or best before date.

3. Store coffee beans in a dark, cool and dry place. Vacuum seal if possible.

5.3 Grind Size

We recommend medium size coffee grinds. If the coffee grinds are too fine, overextraction’s and bitterness will result. Too fine coffee grinds may also clog the filter and even flow into the carafe to affect the taste. If the coffee grinds are too coarse, under extraction will occur and the flavor will be weak.

5.4 Grind Dose

1. We recommend 10g of coffee grinds for one cup, but do not add more than 40g of grinds to the filter.

2. Use the supplied measuring spoon for measuring coffee amounts. Refer to the following table for your required amounts:
   Recommended Amounts Of Coffee

   2 CUPS| 20g (4 Tablespoons)
   3 CUPS| 30g (6 Tablespoons)
   4 CUPS| 40g (8 Tablespoons)

TIPS
We recommend 10g or 2 flat spoons of coffee grinds for 1 cup of coffee, but you may adjust according to your personal taste.

5.5 Choosing Filter

1. You can use either the permanent cone-shaped filter we provided or a disposable paper filter for making coffee, but do not use them together to avoid blockage.
2. After choosing the filter, assemble it closely with the filter insert, and ensure they are installed into the filter basket properly.

5.6 Water Volume
The amount of water added to the water tank should correspond to the cup quantity of coffee grinds, for example, if you add 20g of coffee grinds and you should add 2 cups of water, otherwise, the machine will finish boiling all the water in the water tank, which will make the coffee weak. If you want a bold coffee, you can add 1.5 cups of water.
5.7 Placing Carafe
Close the lid of the carafe and make sure the lid is upping against the filter insert’s drip stop.

TIPS
Do not make coffee with used coffee grinds as this will greatly reduce the flavor. Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.

Operation Guide

Hold the handle and remove the coffee carafe from coffee machine.| Fill the glass carafe with fresh
and clean water for your desired amount of coffee(Do not exceed 4 cups).| Open the water tank cover.| Pour the water from the carafe into the water tank (Do not
exceed MAX line).

Close the water tank cover.| Hold the coffee machine and open the swingouts filter
basket.| Check whether the maker
has filter insert together
with the permanent filter
or disposable filter paper (do not use the permanent filter
& filter paper together).| Add your desired amount of coffee powder into the filter
but do not exceed 40g.

Hold the coffee machine
and close the swing-out filter basket firmly.| Insert the Power Plug into a 120V AC power outlet.| Hold the handle and place the glass carafe onto the warming plate.| Press ON/OFF Button
to start the machine, ON
/OFF Indicator is illuminated.

The coffee machine will begin the brewing cycle.| In a few minutes, your coffee machine will finish brewing fresh coffee, and
the water in the water tank will run out.| It will automatically kepp warm 120 minutes after finishing brewing. Or
you can shut it down by pressing ON/OFF Button.
But for a better taste, enjoy the coffee within 1 hour.

NOTE

1. Keep your body away from the steam outlet of the coffee machine cover to avoid scalding.
2. Do not place parts of the body under the drip stop while the machine is in operation.
3. While the coffee is brewing you can remove the carafe to pour a cup or two. The drip stop will close automatically. To avoid any overflow, replace the carafe within 30 seconds.

Remove the coffee carafe.| Open the filter basket to take out the filter andfilter insert with dripstop.| Take out the filter and discard the used coffee grinds.| Clean the filter insert with drip stop with water and dry it. If the drip stop is detached from the filter insert, reinstall
it properly.

Put the permanent filter back into the filter insert with drip stop.| Wipe the filter basket and showerhead with a clean dry cloth.| Put the filter insert with drip stop and permanent filter back onto the machine
correctly.| Put the filter insert with drip stop and permanentfilter back onto the machine
correctly.

Wait for 10 minutes to let the machine cool down, wipe the warming plate.| Rinse the coffee carafe with clean water.| Put the coffee carafe back on the machine.

Grab-A-Cup Auto Pause Feature

1. 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.
2. Replace the carafe within 30 seconds to avoid any overflow without making a mess. If coffee drips onto the warming plate, the dripstop might be not completely closed. In this case, immediately place the carafe back into the machine and let all the coffee flow into the carafe.
3. Be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot, because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle differs from coffee made at the end.

Cleaning & Maintaining

8.1 Before Use

1. Do not let foreign objects enter the water tank.
2. We recommend using pure water.
3. The numbers(cup quantity) marked on the carafe correspond to that on the water tank. You can add water to the carafe and then fill it in the water tank.
4. Do not add more than a maximum of 4 cups of water into the water tank, otherwise, the water will leak from the overflow hole of the water tank.
5. Ensure your coffee is made by fulfilling the following 8 requirements, For a detailed guide, refer to 5.1-5.7 in section“ 5. The Quest For Perfect Coffee”, page 12.

8.2 In Use

1. Keep your body away from the steam outlet of the coffee machine cover to avoid scalding.
2.  Do not open the water tank to prevent steam from escaping out to avoid scalding.
3. Do not place parts of the body under the drip stop while the machine is in operation.
4. While the coffee is brewing you can remove the carafe to pour a cup or two.
   The drip stop will close automatically. To avoid any overflow, replace the carafe within 30 seconds.

8.3 After Use

1. If you add 4 cups of water in the carafe to the water tank, it is normal that the amount of coffee produced is less than the “4” cup marking on the carafe, because some water evaporated and some has been absorbed by the coffee grinds.
2. Enjoy your coffee at its peak flavor after it’s freshly brewed. Brew your coffee separately several times if you want a big amount but cannot drink up once.
3. After brewing the machine will automatically switch to warm keeping, and you can press the ON/OFF button to turn the machine off. The machine will continuously keep your coffee warm until it is turned off.
4. To pour coffee from the carafe, you need to press its lid close with your fingers, and slowly tilt its bottom to a 45-degree angle to let the coffee flow out.
5. Please strictly follow the instructions and requirements below to clean the machine and its accessories, otherwise, the flavors of your coffee will be affected or the lifespan of the machine will be shortened.

After Each Brew

Make sure to clean the ground coffee from the filter after each use, as some older coffee grinds may be sitting inside your machine and will affect the quality of your next batch. For operation guide, refer to page 16, steps 16-26 in section “6. Operation Guide”.
