Coffee Filters Cone-shaped paper filters are available locally at grocery stores and where coffee makers are sold. Standard #2 filters should be used. The use of basket-style paper filters is not recommended, since they do not conform to the shape of the Filter Basket and may cause coffee to back up and spill over during brewing.
Brewing Instructions (Cont.) 7. If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before brew cycle is completed, simply remove Carafe from Warming Plate. Dripping will automat- ically cease. Return Carafe to position on Warming Plate within 20 seconds; dripping will resume. 8.
Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extrac- tion and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind. Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
