PARTS

Coffee filter:
This coffee maker comes with a reusable mesh filter, A paper filter can’t be used in place of a reusable mesh filter.

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Clean the mug, mug lid, reusable mesh filter, and filter basket in warm, soapy water, thoroughly rinse
2. Brew two mugs of water according to the brewing coffee section but do not add coffee grounds

Brewing coffee

1. Lift the water reservoir lid and fill the water reservoir with 14oz of water (about one full mug)

2. Put three tablespoons of finely ground coffee or four tablespoons of regular ground coffee into the reusable mesh filter for a full mug of coffee
   Note: regular coffee grounds require more coffee per cup to achieve the strength of finer coffee grounds

3. Gently shake the mesh filter to distribute the coffee evenly.

4. Place the mesh filter into the filter basket and place the filter basket into the brewing chamber(see the figure)

5. Close the water reservoir lid.

6. Remove the lid from the mug and place the mug into the base.

7. Plug the power cord into a standard 120-volt AC electrical outlet.

8. Press the switch button; the indicator light will illuminate, verifying that the coffeemaker is operating.
   CAUTION: Don’t open the reservoir lid during the brew cycle, as scalding may occur.

9. Allow all the coffee to drip from the brewing chamber into the mug before removing the mug. Note: since coffee grounds absorb some water during brewing, the amount of brewed coffee will be slightly less than the amount of water pure in another reservoir.

10. When the brewing cycle is complete, the indicator light will shut off and the unit will no longer heat.

11. If brewing another mug of coffee at this time proceed to the brewing a second mug of coffee section, when all brewing is complete, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

12. Note: The Start Button on this product is a thermally operated activation switch for starting a brewing cycle. Pressing it again after the start of a brewing cycle will not stop the product from operating. To interrupt a brewing cycle, unplug the product from the electrical outlet. If the indicator light comes ”ON” when the product is first plugged in, wait approximately 30 seconds for it to go “off” before using the product.

Brewing a Second Mug of Coffee:
To brew another Mug of coffee, allow the Coffeemaker to completely cool (about three minutes) after the Indicator Light has shut off. Rinse the Mug and the Reusable Mesh Filter with water. Repeat the brewing procedure.

• WARNING: If the Coffeemaker does not cool completely before reuse, water placed in the Water Reservoir may overheat. This can cause steam to escape, resulting in a risk of burns and/or personal injury.
• NOTICE: Attempting to start another brewing cycle before the Coffeemaker cools may result in an incomplete cycle; the unit employs a thermal reset switch to prevent overheating and may shut down.

Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee:

• Always use fresh, cold water.
• For stronger or milder coffee, increase or decrease the amount of coffee grounds to suit your taste.
• Finer coffee grinds, such as Drip and Automatic Drip Coffeemaker (ADC) coffee grounds, promote a full extraction of flavour and a rich, full-bodied coffee.
• Store unused coffee grounds in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee grounds, tightly reseal it and store it in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds; this greatly reduces the coffee’s flavour.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour immediately after brewing.
• A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Clean regularly as specified in the “Care and Maintenance” section.
• Prevent an oily buildup: A small amount of oil on the brewed coffee is due to the release of oil from roasted coffee beans. Heavily-roasted coffee beans release more oil than others. Regularly cleaning your Coffeemaker will prevent an oily buildup.
