BREWING A BETTER CUP
- This Bonavita coffee brewer is engineered to heat the brewing water to within the 91°-96°C (195°- 205°F) range. The heating elements in the Bonavita coffee brewers are designed to deliver the correct temperature water over the correct brewing time.
- For ideal extraction levels, brew your coffee in 6-8 cup batches, with fresh, filtered, cold water.
- Brewing time is about 6 minutes for 8 cups of coffee. This will allow for proper water flow and saturation time.
- The quality of the coffee has a great impact on brewed coffee’s flavor. Using freshly roasted beans and grinding the beans just before brewing is important considerations. We recommend using coffee within a couple of weeks of its roast date. Air-tight storage will help extend your coffee’s lifespan.
- Grinding coffee is another key point on the timeline of flavor and perishability. Once coffee is ground the air begins to attack essential oils and other volatile flavor components. It’s only a matter of hours before most of the ground coffee’s aroma has evaporated. Sometimes pregrinding can’t be avoided, but if it can, delay until shortly before brewing.
- For the most consistent results, Bonavita recommends measuring coffee by weight, using 10 grams of coffee per cup.
- Measuring coffee by volume is less consistent. For example, two tablespoons of drip grind coffee can weigh between 6 grams of dark roast coffee to 11 grams of light roast coffee. Bonavita recommends beginning with two-level tablespoons of drip grind coffee as a starting point with your preferred roast, and adjust according to your taste.
- Keep the filter basket, water tank, and carafe clean.
- For maximum heat retention, we recommend rinsing the carafe with hot water shortly before the brew begins.

ABOUT YOUR BONAVITA COFFEE BREWER
The heaters in the Bonavita coffee brewers are designed to deliver the correct temperature water over the correct brewing time. For ideal extraction levels, brew your coffee in 6-8 cup batches. Brew with fresh, filtered, cold water whenever possible. Brewing time is about 6 minutes for 8 cups of coffee. This will allow for proper water flow and saturation time.
Before first use
- Remove packaging materials, labels, and stickers from the coffee brewer.
- Wash filter basket and stainless steel thermal carafe with a mild dish detergent.
- Read the BREWING INSTRUCTIONS section.
- Clean the brewer by filling the water tank with fresh, filtered, cold water to the MAX line.
- Turn on the brewer, and allow the water to run through a brew cycle.
- Let the brewer cool down for 5 minutes before repeating the process at least 2 more times before brewing coffee.
BREWING DIAGRAM
Brewing instructions
-
Set the brewer on a flat and steady surface.
-
Remove the carafe and filter basket from the brewer.
-
Raise the lid of the water tank and pour in the required volume of fresh, filtered, cold water to the desired batch size. Do not fill above the MAX line. (Fig. A).
-
Place a V-style filter in filter basket. We recommend a #4 Melitta filter.
-
Scoop ground coffee into the filter (Fig. B), using 10 grams of coffee per cup.
-
If you measure coffee by volume, begin with two-level tablespoons, and adjust according to your taste. This amount will vary depending upon your preferred
roast. For example, two tablespoons of ground coffee can weigh between 6 grams of dark roast coffee to 11 grams of light roast coffee. -
Place the filter basket on the carafe (without lid) and put both back into the brewer (Fig. C).
-
Turn the brewer on. The on/off switch will stay lit during the brewing process (Fig. D). The brewer will automatically shut off when the brewing cycle is complete. It can also be switched off manually at any time by pressing the on/off switch.
-
After the brewing process ends, remove the coffee-filled carafe and the filter basket from the brewer.
-
For maximum heat retention place the lid on the carafe shortly after the brew cycle is complete. (Fig. E).
-
To dispose of the used filter, dump it from the filter basket, rinse out filter basket, and set aside to dry.
-
To pour coffee from the carafe, depress the lever on the carafe lid. The lid must be tightened firmly to allow for one-handed pouring (Fig. F).
Optional Pre-infusion Mode – for brewing freshly roasted coffee.
- Press and hold the on/off switch for 5 seconds.
- It will flash indicating you have chosen the pre-infusion mode.
- Follow the BREWING INSTRUCTIONS, making sure you press the on/off switch to begin brewing.
- In pre-infuse mode, the on/off switch will flash during the brew cycle.
- The brewer will remain in preinfusion mode until the mode is turned off or the brewer is unplugged.
- You can turn off the pre-infusion mode by pressing the on/off switch until the light flashes (5 sec.).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care will ensure years of service from this coffee brewer. Aside from
keeping the brewer clean and descaling when necessary, there is no user
maintenance required.
This brewer contains no internal user-serviceable parts. Leave servicing and
repairs to qualified personnel.
CAUTION: Always unplug the coffee brewer before cleaning.
The filter basket may be cleaned in the top rack of a dishwasher.
Cleaning the Carafe Lid
The carafe lid should be disassembled for cleaning and is top-rack dishwasher
safe.
- Twist the lid cap counterclockwise and lift off.
- Clean inner parts of lid.
- Align cap recesses with spout and carafe lid lever and press on to lid.
- Twist cap clockwise to lock in place.
Cleaning the Brewer Lid and Shower Head
The brewer lid and showerhead are removable and are top-rack dishwasher safe.
- Pull the front edge of the brewer lid upwards to remove.
- Remove the showerhead.
- Clean.
- Re-install shower heads separately from brewer lid, for better shower head alignment.
- Re-install brewer lid.
Cleaning the Coffee Brewer
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild dish cleaning liquid for cleaning the
housing. We recommend using a clean measuring cup or pitcher to fill the tank
when brewing. Following this recommendation, your brewer may only require
periodic descaling.
If you use your coffee carafe to fill your water tank, you may introduce
coffee residue into the water tank, which may lead to coffee oil buildup. If
filling with your carafe, we recommend cleaning with Full Circle coffee
machine cleaning powder once a month.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Thermal Carafe
The carafe will last for many years if handled properly.
If coffee is left in the carafe for too long, the stainless lining will become
discolored. For cleaning, we recommend using Full Circle coffee machine
cleaning powder.
Do not use scrubbing pads or hard-bristled brushes, which will damage the
stainless lining.
Descaling
In hard-water areas, scaling from limestone content in the water may build up
in your brewer. Scaling can lead to extended preparation time and possible
damage to your Bonavita coffee brewer.
We recommend that you descale your brewer after every 100 brew cycles, or once every three months. However, if the brewer makes an unusually loud noise, extends brew time, or fails to achieve the recommended water temperature of 91°-96°C (195°-205°F), you may need to descale more often.
We recommend using Full Circle descaling powder, which is designed to break down mineral build-up inside your brewer to ensure great coffee and consistent functionality. Do not use vinegar, which may not effectively descale your brewer, and may leave behind an odor that can impact the flavor of your coffee.
