Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. Make sure
you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.
A. Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
To Brew
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
B. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Lift and open the filter basket lid.
For your convenience, you can lift
out the removable filter basket.
2. Place the permanent filter or a
10-12 cup paper basket-style
filter into the removable
filter basket. (Figure 5)
3. Add the desired amount of coffee
and gently shake to level the coffee.
See the Suggested Coffee
Measurement Chart.
4. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capability (1 cup equals 5
ounces) (Figure 6). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass
decanter and on the dual water windows show the amount of water needed to make
the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the "12 cup MAX line" or
water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water
poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by
coffee grounds.
5. Lift the pour trough reservoir lid and pour the water into the water reservoir.
Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.
NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and
the grounds will overflow from the filter basket.
