Brewing Coffee - KitchenAid JAVASTUDIO 4KCM511 Instructions Manual

Operating Your Coffee Maker

Brewing Coffee

1. Fill a carafe with enough fresh, cool
water to make the desired amount
of coffee. A graduated scale on the
side of the glass carafe helps
measure the amount of water
required. The right side of the scale
("coffee") is a measurement of
carafe volume in 4
cups. The left side of the scale
("water") indicates the amount of
water needed to produce a given
number of cups. For thermal carafe
model 4KCM515, the scale on the
water filter handle can be used to
gauge the amount of water to add.
2. Lift the front lid and fill the water
reservoir with fresh cool water
using the reservoir fill-channel to
the right of the brew basket.
Water can also be poured directly
into the reservoir at the back of
the Coffee Maker.
3. After filling the reservoir, place the
carafe on the Coffee Maker
warming plate. Make sure the
bottom of the carafe is fully seated
1 ⁄ ounce (125 ml)

on the plate – if the carafe isn't
seated, the pause and pour
feature may engage and coffee
may overflow the brew basket.
4. Remove the brew basket from the
top of the Coffee Maker by
grasping the finger loop on the
front of the basket.
5. Insert a 10-12 cup flat-bottom
paper filter or the gold tone
permanent filter into the brew
basket. Never use both types of
filter at the same time – using
both may cause water to overflow
the brew basket.
6. Using the included scoop, fill the
filter with one rounded scoop of
ground coffee for each cup desired.
Use a medium grind appropriate for
automatic drip coffee makers: too
fine a grind will produce bitterness
and may clog the coffee filter.
NOTE: Always place the filter and
coffee into the removable brew
basket. Do not operate the Coffee
Maker without the brew basket in
place.
