are slightly stronger, with a full-bodied balanced taste, and dark roasts are bold with smoky
undertones.
3. The Grind
Use the proper grind finesse and grind just prior to brewing. The variation in the grind depends
on the type of filter you use. We prefer paper filters because they allow you to use a finer grind,
thus allowing a full extraction and more contact time with the water. Permanent filters require a
slightly coarser grind therefore the extraction rate is reduced. A general rule of thumb for
grinding is the longer the brew process the coarser the grind.
4. The Proportion
We recommend that you use 1 rounded Tbsp. of ground coffee per cup and modify the quantity
to suit your taste.

• Use only cold water and a #4 filter paper or a permanent filter.
• The coffee maker is fitted with a drip-stop device, allowing you to serve coffee before the
water has finished running through. Replace the carafe quickly to avoid overflow.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the water reservoir as shown by the water level
indicator (e).
• Place the ground coffee into the paper filter or directly into a permanent filter. After use,
discard the grounds, and rinse the filter basket under running water.
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to escape during the brewing cycle.
For models with thermal carafe:
• To ensure maximum heat retention, rinse the thermal carafe with HOT water before use, and
close the lid by turning clockwise.
