Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee

For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement. Make sure you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart

To Brew	Ground Coffee
4 Cups	3 tbsp.
2 Cups	1.5 tbsp.

1 level tablespoon (tbps) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.

1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee

Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.

5.Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces). For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the dual water windows show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the “MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the water reservoir.

The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.

7.Pour the water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and place the empty decanter onto the warming plate.

NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.

!injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to cool before using.CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/or the risk of personal
