Make sure the filter basket is inside the filter holder. You may use filter provided or line it with a store-bought paper filter. Add coffee ground into the filter. The standard recipe is one spoon of coffee ground for each cup of water, however, the amount of coffee ground can be adjusted to your taste and is dependent upon type of coffee, fines of grounds and flavor of coffee desired. Close the water tank cover.
Note: Make sure that the filter basket is inserted properly onto the filter holder, otherwise the water tank cover cannot be closed securely. -
