Saeco Coffee Makers TDCM15 manual Brewing Coffee in your Saeco Renaissance

Brewing Coffee in your Saeco Renaissance XV

The best coffee begins with top-quality Arabica beans. We recommend using whole bean coffee, roasted to perfection and ground immediately prior to brewing. Make sure to have your coffee ground to the precise degree required by your machine at the time of purchase. For this machine, Saeco recommends a medium grind. If you are unsure about grind size or your home grinder, please call Saeco Customer Service at 1-800-933-7876.

1.Plug in the coffeemaker.

2.Flip up (open) the water reservoir/filter basket lid to access the filter basket holder. Make sure the removable internal filter basket holder is in place.

3.Place filter (permanent or paper) into the internal filter basket holder, located in the filter basket holder. Use a standard size (3.25” base) basket filter.

4.Place the appropriate amount of ground coffee into the filter. Saeco recommends a coffee to water proportion

of 1 level tablespoons (5 grams) of ground coffee to every 6-8 ounces of water; you can adjust this recipe to suit your own personal taste.

Coffee Brewing Hint: When brewing a full carafe, up to 4 ozs of water can remain in the ground coffee once brewing is complete. Adjust your own brewing recipe to ensure a perfect cup every time.

WARNING: TO AVOID OVERFLOW, NEVER FILL THE WATER RESERVOIR WITH MORE WATER THAN FITS IN THE CARAFE.

5.With the filter basket & water reservoir lid up (open), fill the reservoir with cold, fresh water (approximately 65°F/18ºc).

Fill the water tank reservoir to the appropriate point to brew the desired amount of coffee.

6.Flip both the filter basket & water reservoir lid down (closed). Be sure the Filter Basket is securely snapped into place before proceeding.

7.Place the lid on the thermal carafe in the locked position. Ensure lid is locked into place before brewing.
