Coffee Yield

Brewing Coffee

Fill with Water: Remove the water reservoir lid. Use the carafe to pour the desired amount of cold water into the water reservoir. Place back the water reservoir lid.
IMPORTANT : Before brewing always check to make sure that the water level is at least 5.5oz. (add water if needed.) Never exceed the 8 cup fill line. NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than the amount of water place into the water reservoir; as much as 10% is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
WARNING! Water must be added to the water reservoir before the brewing process can begin.
Add Filter: Add the filter with the filter holder. Place the funnel into the support and make sure it is assembled correctly. If desired you can use a #4 cone shaped paper filter in place of the permanent gold tone filter. NOTE: A paper filter may be used for finer grinds or for cleaner and sweeter tasting coffee.
Add ground coffee: approximately 1 level coffee scoop (included) is recommended for each cup of coffee brewed. For stronger or milder coffee, adjust amount of ground coffee to suit your taste. Remember to open the strength control valve clockwise to avoid water spill before brewing. And you can adjust the coffee strength through strength control valve based on your personal taste. Plug Coffee Maker into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
Brew: Press the BREW/OFF power button. The button will illuminate white as the Coffee Maker begins the BREW cycle. Water will begin to visibly pump up and through the shower head onto the grounds. NOTE: To interrupt the BREW cycle at any time, press the BREW/ OFF power button; then remove plug from wall outlet.
Remove used grounds: Upon completion of the BREW cycle Wait at least 1 minute until all of the brew dripping from the shower head into the carafe has stopped. Remove from the warming plate.
CAUTION! When full, the carafe can be heavy.
CAUTION! After brewing, the carafe gets very hot! Avoid contact with the carafe.
Use the tabs on the filter holder and permanent filter to lift filters up and off the top of the carafe. Set aside, dispose of used coffee grounds.
Pour and enjoy! Tilt the carafe slightly and pour hot coffee very slowly, so that the flow of the brewed coffee does not exceed the width of the spout.
Replace the carafe with unused coffee onto the warming plate. The 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker will advance to a 2 hour KEEP WARM phase, the BREW/OFF power indicator light will remain illuminated white. At the end of the KEEP WARM phase, the Coffee Maker will turn OFF automatically.
Press the BREW/OFF button to turn the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker OFF when the carafe is empty or when the unit is not in use; then remove plug from wall outlet.
IMPORTANT! When the BREW/OFF power indicator light begins to flash quickly, the Coffee Maker is ready for descaling. Please consult the Descaling section of this Instruction Manual for detailed procedures.

Brewing A Second Carafe Of Coffee

To brew another carafe of coffee, make sure the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker is OFF. It is recommended that the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker be allowed to cool for 15 minutes between cycles.

Hints for Great Tasting Coffee

A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions and Descaling sections of this Instruction Manual is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cold water in 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker.
Finer grinds promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grinds
will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.
Store coffee beans or ground coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them to your liking, just before brewing.
Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee are due to the extraction of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffee beans are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker.

User Maintenance Instructions

This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Care & Cleaning Instructions

Always make sure the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker is unplugged and the warming plate is cool before attempting to clean.
After every use, remove the permanent coffee filter, discard used coffee grounds, rinse thoroughly. Wash the filter holder and carafe in hot, sudsy water. The carafe, filter holder, permanent filter and scoop are all top rack dishwasher safe.
WARNING : To avoid breakage, handle carafe with care. Avoid impact. Glass will break as a result of impact. Use care when filling with water to avoid hitting faucet.
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove superficial stains. For stubborn stains, use a nylon or plastic pad with a non-abrasive cleanser. Do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
When the BREW/OFF power indicator light begins to flash quickly, the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker is ready for descaling.

Descaling

Special cleaning of your 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker is recommended depending on the frequency of use and quality of water used in the unit. If water in your area is especially hard, the following cleaning procedure should be performed more frequently, since minerals in water can detract from the flavor of the coffee and possibly lengthen brew time. While brewing, if the BREW/OFF power indicator light begins to flash, then the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker should be descaled.

Fill carafe with 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts cold water. Pour water and vinegar solution into the water reservoir.
Press and hold the BREW/OFF power button for 3 seconds until the BREW/OFF power indicator light slowly flashes. The 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker will begin the CLEAN cycle until all water has been circulated and the water reservoir is empty. The BREW/ OFF power indicator light will turn off when the descaling operation is complete.
NOTE : Press the BREW/OFF power button at any time during the CLEAN cycle to turn the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker OFF. When liquid stops dripping from the shower head into the carafe, remove the carafe from the warming plate and allow liquid to cool for 15 minutes.
Rinse the unit by brewing a full carafe of cold water.
At end of BREW cycle, press the BREW/OFF button to turn the 8 Cup Pour Over Coffee Maker OFF. Discard water in the carafe. Wash carafe, permanent coffee filter, and filter holder in hot sudsy water. Dry parts thoroughly.
