Replacement Parts

• Filters
For better tasting coffee and tea, we recommend that you use MR. COFFEE
8-12 cup paper filters or MR. COFFEE
available at most grocery stores.
• Decanters
You can usually purchase a replacement decanter from the store where
you purchased your coffeemaker. If you are unable to find a replacement,
please call 1-800 MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333) in the U.S. and Canada for
information on where you can find a store that carries replacement decanters.

it. All repairs must be made by Sunbeam or by an authorized MR. COFFEE
