Important
Do not use the 2 cup filter with paper pods.
Since the shape of the paper pods can differ from one brand to another, take care to center the pod in
the filter and push gently so that the sides fit.
IMPORTANT
If necessary, fold the sides of the paper pod inside the filter to prevent it from overhanging. This
will ensure that coffee will not leak outside the filter holder and prevent any damage.
