Before you start

Before making your first pot of delicious coffee, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once or twice with water only, without ground coffee or a filter, to remove any possible dust.

Using the KRUPS “Premium” coffeemaker

Filling the water chamber

W dpen the hinged lid (figure 1).

nUsing the glass carafe, pour in the desired quantity of water (figure 2).

nThe markings on the glass carafe and water level indicator show how much water you are filling into the chamber (figure 3).

The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water put into the water chamber. This is due to the minimum absorption of the water by the ground coffee.

Therefore, it is recommended that you add a little extra water at the beginning, so that you will have the number of cups you desire.

Note: Excess water in the water tank cannot be poured out of the appliance. To eliminate any excess water, allow the coffee maker to operate without coffee grounds.

W Close the hinged lid.

Putting in the ground coffee

W Press the release button and swing out the 2-part filter holder (figure 4).

nInsert the KRUPS goldtone filter into the filter insert (figure 5).

If you desire, you can use paper filters instead of the goldtone filter. We recommend using KRUPS size 4 filters.

nAdd the ground coffee (figure 6).

We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring scoop of ground coffee for each cup of robust coffee. After using your KRUPS coffeemaker several times, you can adjust the measure to suit your own taste.
