Brew Gevalia Kaffe with the coffee water ratio you normally use when you prepare ground coffee. If you prefer strong coffee, we recommend the following European method, which produces rich, full-bodied flavor. Use one level Gevalia scoop for each cup (6 fluid ounces) or 12 level scoops per full pot of coffee. Experiment with the amount of coffee used in order to adjust the flavor to your taste.

3.Return the Removable Filter Basket to the Filter Basket Holder. Be sure that the Removable Filter Basket is seated properly in the Filter Basket Holder, by placing it securely into place and closing the Filter Basket Lid.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate your Coffeemaker if the Flip-Up Filter Basket Lid or the Hinged Reservoir Lid on the top of the unit is not securely closed.

4.Press the Start/Stop Button TWICE. The “ON” light will illuminate green indicating that the brew cycle has begun.

CAUTION:

After the brewing cycle is completed, there still will be HOT liquid in the Removable Filter Basket. Always turn off the unit and wait at least 30 minutes after the brewing cycle is completed before opening the filter basket lid and emptying the Removable Filter Basket.

TO BREW A SECOND POT

1.Turn the unit off.

2.Wait 30 minutes to prevent hot water in the tubes from splashing out.

3.Follow Instructions in “OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS” (above).

HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE

zA clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great testing coffee. Regular cleaning, as specified in “Cleaning Your Coffeemaker” is highly recommended.

zAlways use fresh, cold filtered or bottled water in your Coffeemaker.

zFine grind (such as Gevalia) coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee grounds per cup to provide the strength of a finer grind.

zStore coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.

zFor optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.

zDo not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen the coffee flavor.

Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after brewing.
