How to Make Coffee

BEFORE FIRST USE: Clean the urn by following the steps in “How To Clean.”

NOTE: For best results, always use cold, fresh tap water.

1

Remove lid, coffee basket, and stem assembly.

2

Fill urn to desired water level. You must brew a minimum of 10 cups. Do not fill urn above MAX fill line.

3

Wet coffee basket (to help keep small particles of ground coffee from sifting through).

4

OPTIONAL: Place a flattened, paper filter in coffee basket.

5

Make sure stem assembly is properly seated in heat well in center or urn may not percolate.

4

Water Level*	Amount of Ground Coffee*
40 cups	2–21⁄2cups
30 cups	13⁄4–2 cups
20 cups	1–13⁄4cups
10 cups	1⁄2 cup

*Always keep water and coffee amounts between the minimum and maximum for your urn size.

NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolator- type coffeemaker. However, coffee marked “For All Coffeemakers” is acceptable. If using a coffee grinder and whole beans, percolator coffee should be a coarse grind. Finely ground coffee may cause the basket to overflow and result in grounds in the coffee.
