NOTE

If using pre-ground coffee, select the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. This will disable the burr grinder. Add pre-ground coffee to the gold tone filter or a paper filter (8-12 cup, flat base basket style with ~ 3¼"/8.25cm base). We recommend 1 level tablespoon of pre-ground coffee per 5oz/150ml cup of water. Adjust the amount according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for pre-ground coffee is 16 level tablespoons. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.

5. Select the Flavor Setting

Press the STRENGTH FLAVOR button until the LCD screen flashes the current flavor setting and the and buttons illuminate and flash. Use these buttons to cycle through 5 flavor settings from ‘LITE’ to ‘BOLD’. These settings vary the steeping time of the coffee and water. The ‘LITE’ setting steeps for less time to produce

a light-flavored cup. The ‘BOLD’ setting steeps for more time for a bolder, more full-flavored coffee.

Press the STRENGTH FLAVOR button to select. The LCD screen will cease to flash once selected.
