Making Coffee, Filling the Water Tank | Capresso MG600, MT600, 445

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.

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.

Maximum #	GoldTone	Size 4
of Scoops	Filter	Paper Filter

Regular or Drip	12	14
Grind (Supermarket	scoops	scoops
Version)

Fine Grind (finer	8-10	9-11
than Drip Grind)	scoops	scoops

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.

5d. Using the Stainless Steel Carafe For best coffee temperature pre-warm 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 atten- tion to the position of the black dot on the lid) and turn clockwise until the lid is completely closed and the dot points towards the handle (Fig. 11). This is the brewing 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 overflow 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 use the enclosed mail order form.

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.

MT600 (Stainless steel carafe): 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 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.
