Making Coffee; Using The Goldtone Filter; Using Filter Paper; How Much Coffee - Capresso SG120 494 User Manual

4. Insert filter paper (chapter 4b)
or a GoldTone Filter (chapter 4a).
5. Add the correct amount of ground
coffee (chapter 4c).
6. Close the water container lid.
7. Make sure the lid sits properly on
the glass carafe. Insert the carafe
into the machine. The inner part of
the lid pushes the drip stop up, to
let coffee brew through.
8. Turn the machine on (Fig. 2, I).
9. Never open the water container lid
as long as coffee is brewing. Hot
water could spill out causing burns.
Wait until the brewing noise stops.
10. Immediately after brewing is finished
there could still be hot water in the
filter holder passing through the
ground coffee. This can take 1 to 3
minutes depending on how much
coffee you used and how fine the
coffee was ground.

4. Making Coffee

Please follow the steps described in
chapter 3.
4a. Using the GoldTone Filter
A size 4 GoldTone filter comes with
the machine. It sits in the Filter Holder.
Attention: Coffee flows slower through
a GoldTone Filter than through paper
filters. Please see the chart in chapter
4c for maximum coffee amounts.
4b. Using Filter Paper
Use size 4 paper only. Always fold the
bottom and side crimps over for a
proper fit (see Fig. 5). Do not use a
filter paper inside a GoldTone Filter!
4c. How Much Coffee?
We recommend using one level table-
spoon of coffee per cup. If you like
your coffee extremely strong never
use more coffee than the amounts indi-
cated in the chart shown.
Maximum #
of Tablespoons
Regular or Drip
Grind
(Supermarket
Version)
Fine Grind
(finer
than Drip Grind)
Using more coffee can result in an
overflow of ground coffee, above the
filter, blocking the drip stop function
and causing a mess on your counter.
4d. Turning the Coffee Maker On
Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2, I). The
red light will illuminate, indicating that
the brewing process is starting.
Caution: Never lift the lid during
brewing (Fig. 1, A).
4e. Serving Coffee
Brewing time for a full pot of coffee
takes just about 11 minutes. When all
the water is passed through, the coffee
maker will keep the coffee hot for two
hours. Then it will shut off. If you need
to keep the coffee hot longer, just
push the On/Off button again.
4f. Pouring Coffee While Brewing
You can remove the carafe from the
platform during the brewing process
for approx. 20 seconds to pour a cup
before brewing is finished.
4g. Brewing Small Amounts of Coffee
When brewing small amounts of coffee
(2 to 4 cups) push the On button
(Fig. 2, I) first and then press the Aroma
button (Fig. 2, J) until the "AROMA"
icon appears on the display. The
brewing process will be slowed down
to allow the coffee to reach its full
aroma. If you pushed the Aroma button
by mistake, just push it again to turn
off this function.
