Coffee Maker Use

Pre-Use Cleaning

Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone permanent filter, and travel mug in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Brewing Coffee

NOTE: Brew one mug of fresh, cool water and discard before brewing the first mug of coffee (first time use only).

1.Remove the water tank and fill with enough fresh, cool water to make the desired amount of coffee. When replacing the tank, make sure to align it with the tab(s).

NOTE: The tank can be filled without removing the tank from the coffee maker.

2.After filling the water tank, place the thermal travel mug in the coffee maker.

To maximize coffee temperature, it is recommend that brew coffee with the lid already placed on the mug. Make sure that the lid is centered. You may also fill the mug with hot tap water for 30 seconds to preheat for hotter coffee temperatures.

NOTE: The coffee maker is capable of brewing into most tall-sided coffee mugs.

3.Open the brew basket door. Brew basket may be removed, but can be filled without removing it from the front of the coffee maker.

4.Insert a #2 Cone paper filter or the Gold Tone permanent filter into the brew basket.

IMPORTANT: Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.

5.Fill the filter with one level tablespoon of ground coffee for each 6 oz. desired. Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers.

NOTE: Too fine a grind produces bitterness and may clog the coffee filter.

IMPORTANT:Always place the filter and coffee into the removable brew basket. Do not operate the coffee maker without the brew basket in place.

6.Even out the bed of coffee. If the brew basket is removed, place the mounting holes over the pins in the door and seat it securely in the door. Be sure the brew basket door is fully closed before brewing.

7.Press the ON button to begin brewing coffee.

8.The coffee maker will sound the end-of- brewing tone when brewing is complete.

NOTE: The outside of the travel mug will be hot to the touch after brewing.

9.Repeat this procedure to brew additional mugs of coffee. Always turn off the coffee maker and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before starting the next brew cycle.
