1. One coffee pod generally brews 6 to 10 ounces. For
stronger coffee or when filling higher capacity mugs,
select the 6, 8, or 10 ounce setting and brew twice
using two separate pods. To customize strength, see
Brewing Single Serve–Ground Coffee.
2. Make sure your coffee maker is in ready mode
and the red power button LED
Brewing.)
3. Ensure the water reservoir is filled with a minimum
of 20 ounces of water. Do not fill reservoir past the
MAX fill line.
IMPORTANT: If you attempt to brew any single serve
selection with less than 6 ounces of water in the
reservoir, the brew selection buttons will flash several
times to alert you to add more water.
NOTE: Use spring water or filtered water. Distilled
water lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements
of coffee. Filtered water will limit impurities and
excessive minerals that can detrimentally impact
coffee flavor and machine performance.
4. To open, lift the lock handle and pull out the pod/filter
holder (A).
5. Insert a coffee pod of your choice into the pod/filter
holder. (B)
NOTE: Do not remove the foil lid or puncture the
coffee pod before inserting.
CAUTION: There are two sharp needles that puncture
the coffee pod, one above the pod/filter holder and
one in the bottom of the pod/filter holder. To avoid
risk of injury, do not put your fingers inside the
brewing area.
6. Push the pod/filter holder into the machine and lower
the lock handle (C). This will puncture the coffee pod.
NOTE: A great deal of pressure is required for
pressurized pod brewing. For your safety, the amount of
force needed to close the lock handle with a pod in place
is greater than that of the other brewing options.
7. Use the hinged cup rest when brewing smaller size
cups (6oz.). Fold the cup rest up when using larger
size cups or mugs (8 or 10 oz.) and place on the drip
tray (D).
