WHAT TO DO
The gold tone fi lter will allow some
fi ne coffee grinds to fall into the
coffee. This is normal. Switch to
using a paper fi lter (8-12 cup, fl at
base basket style with ~ 3¼"/8.25cm
base) if you wish to eliminate all
grinds.
After each use, wash the coffee
basket, taking particular care to
rinse the chute area. Dry thoroughly
(especially the chute area). Ensure
there are no grinds in the coffee
basket before lining the coffee
basket with the gold tone or paper
fi lter.
This can occur for a number of
reasons:
• If using pre-ground coffee,
ensure it is a drip coffee grind
and not too fi ne. Never use
Espresso grind.
• Check that the coffee basket is
lined with only one paper fi lter.
• Check that either the gold tone
fi lter or the paper fi lter is used.
Do not use both together.
• Check that the gold tone fi lter
mesh is clear and unclogged.
• Clean the coffee grinds chute.
Refer to 'Cleaning the Grinding
Burrs and Coffee Grinds Chute',
page 25.
With the coffee basket lid open,
push up the drip stop outlet (the
hemisphere on the underside of
the coffee basket). A valve will rise
inside the coffee basket. Ensure
there are no grinds underneath this
valve. Thoroughly dry the coffee
basket (especially the chute area)
before lining the coffee basket with
the gold tone or paper fi lter.

Fill the hopper with fresh beans.
We recommend always keeping
the hopper full (0.5lb maximum) to
ensure there are suffi cient beans.

A pre-heated coffee basket, carafe
or cup will help maintain the
coffee's optimal temperature and
keep coffee hotter for longer. Fill
with hot water for about 30 seconds
then discard the water.
