Putting In The Ground Coffee - Krups PROCAFE 4 Instructions For Use Manual

Advertisement

water level indicator shows you how much water you are filling into the container (see figure 3).
The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the
amount put into the water container. This is due to the minimal absorption of the water by the ground coffee.
Therefore, it is recommended that you add a little extra water at the beginning so that you will have the number of
cups you desire.
Replace the glass carafe on the warming plate with the glass carafe lid in position.
Putting in the ground coffee
Swing the swivel filter to your right (see figure 4). Insert a paper filter (we recommend KRUPS size 4) with the
seam pointing towards the handle of the filter holder (see figure 5).
We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring scoop of ground coffee for each cup of robust coffee (see figure 6).
After using your KRUPS coffee maker several times you can adjust the measure to suit your own taste.
Close the swivel filter (see figure 7) and make sure that it is completely closed.
Attention: Make sure that the filter paper does not tip over when closing the swivel filter. If this happens, the water
might run between the filter paper and the filter holder producing a very weak cup of coffee.
Plug in coffee maker. Switch the "ON/OFF" switch to position "I". The indicator light in the switch will go on
indicating that the brewing process has begun (see figure 8).
"STOP 'N SERVE" FEATURE
The "Stop 'n Serve" feature is KRUPS' answer to the impatient coffee drinker's clamor for "a quick cup of coffee!"
This device automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee through the filter cone if the glass carafe is removed
from the warm warming plate during the brewing cycle. You have about 20 sec seconds between the removal of the
carafe and its being reins reinserted to allow the service of one or two cups of coffee. The "Stop 'n Serve" device
closes off the filter cone so effectively that there is virtually no coffee-drip onto the warming plate (one drop, at
most!). Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing cycle and the flow of coffee into the carafe are resumed.
CAUTION
If coffee does drip onto the warming plate after removal of the carafe, it is usually an indiction that too much
ground coffee has been placed into the paper filter. This causes the water that jets into the filter cone to overflow
between the paper filter and the sides of the filter cone. The overflow carries coffee grounds that interfere with the
snap-shut action of the filter holder, thus allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip through. If this blockage and
subsequent dripping do occur, replace the glass carafe immediately and allow the full brewing cycle to run its
course. Do not swing out the swivel filter until the brewing cycle is completed.
As long as the "ON/OFF" switch is in position "I", the coffee maker will keep the coffee hot (see figure 9).
