5. Making Coffee
Please follow the steps described in
chapter 4.
Filling the Water Tank
See chapter 4.2.
Stainless steel thermal carafe:
When you use the thermal carafe for
filling the water tank, the inside of the
carafe will be cold from the cold
water. We highly recommend rinsing
the carafe with hot water. This will
increase the coffee temperature and
will keep the coffee hot longer.
5a. 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
5c for maximum coffee amounts.
5b. 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!
5c. How Much Coffee?
A coffee scoop comes with your coffee
maker. We recommend using one
level scoop of coffee per cup. If you
like your coffee extremely strong
never use more coffee than the
amounts indicated in the chart shown.

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.

the carafe by rinsing it with hot water.
Always make sure carafe is completely
empty. Place the lid on top of the
carafe as shown in Fig. 10 (pay
attention to the position of the
black dot on the lid) and turn clock-
wise until the lid cannot be turned
anymore and the dot points towards
the handle (Fig. 11). This is the brew-
ing position. Caution: Make sure the
lid is not in the pouring position (Fig.
12). This could result in the Filter
Holder popping up. The drip stop will
not work and hot coffee could over-
flow from the filter holder.
Attention: Please note that the lid
must always be on the carafe and
closed (Fig. 11) during brewing to
activate the drip stop. If you lose the
lid, you cannot brew coffee. Please
call 1-800-767-3554 to order a new lid
or order online at: www.capresso.com.
5e. Turning the Coffee Maker On
Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2, N).
The red light will illuminate, indicating
that the brewing process is starting.
Caution: Never open the water
container lid during brewing.
5f. Serving Coffee
Brewing time for a full pot of coffee
takes just about 7 minutes.
When all the water is passed through,
the red indicator light remains on for
approx. two minutes then turns off.
The machine is now off.
Remove the carafe from the platform.
Turn the lid counterclockwise 180
degrees until until the black dot is
over the pouring spout (Fig. 12). You
can now pour coffee. After serving
make sure to close the lid again to
prevent heat from escaping from the
carafe.
It is extremely important that the
carafe lid is in the correct position
when brewing and when pouring.
Please refer to Fig. 11 and Fig. 12
for correct positioning of carafe lid.
