Remember: After about 1 - 2 minutes of brewing, the filter holder allows the water to flow into the coffee carafe. This steeping period allows for maximum flavor extraction from your coffee.
Preparing Coffee
Filling the water chamber
•Open the hinged lid (1). Using the thermal carafe, pour in the desired quantity of cold water (2). The water level indicator (g) shows how much water you are filling into the container.
The amount of freshly brewed coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount put into the water container. 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.
•Close the thermal coffee carafe lid by twisting it tightly to the right (3).
•Replace the thermal carafe on the thermal carafe base with the lid (4).
Putting in the ground coffee
•Swing out the filter holder container (5).
•Insert a no. 4 filter paper (1X4) or Gold Tone Filter in the filter holder. We recommend that you fold over the edges of the filter paper (6) to make it easier to insert.
You can purchase KRUPS size 4 paper filters (#983) or KRUPS AromaControl Gold Tone Filter (#049) at your local KRUPS retailer or by calling the KRUPS Consumer Service Department at
•Pour your ground coffee into the filter paper
(7).
We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring scoop of ground cofee for each cup of robust coffee. After using your KRUPS coffee maker several times, you can adjust the measure to suit your own taste.
• Close the filter holder container, check that
it is correctly engaged (8) and make sure the carafe with its cover closed tightly is on the thermal carafe base (4).
•Turn the machine ‘on’ to begin (position (h) for #197, position (m) for #199 & #229). The indicator light will illuminate and your coffee will begin brewing.
•To serve, remove carafe and twist lid counterclockwise half of a revolution and begin to pour (9).
“Stop ‘n Serve” feature
The “Stop ’n Serve” feature is KRUPS answer to the impatient coffee drinker’s clamor for “a quick cup of coffee!” This device automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee through the filter cone if the thermal carafe is removed from the thermal carafe base during the brewing cycle. You have about 20 seconds between the removal of the carafe and its being reinserted to pour one or two cups of coffee. The “Stop’n Serve” device closes off the filter cone so effectively that there is virtually no
If coffee does drip onto the thermal carafe base after removal of the carafe, it is usually an indication that too much ground coffee has been placed into the paper filter. This causes the water that jets into the filter cone to overflow between the paper filter and the sides of the filter cone. The overflow carries coffee grounds that interfere with the snapshut action of the filter holder, thus allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip through.
If this blockage and subsequent dripping do occur, replace the carafe immediately and allow the full brewing cycle to run its course. Do not remove the filter until the brewing cycle is completed.
