Wait for the amber heating light to go off again, if necessary. Place a demitasse cup

A flip top cover allows for easy access to the water reservoir, coffee filter basket and water filter. We made a water reservoir with a large fill area for easy filling from both the front and sides of the unit and to minimize spills. Our unique showerhead evenly distributes the water over the coffee, reducing temperature loss as water passes through coffee grounds. A water filter guarantees the purest coffee and the handgrip on the filter holder makes it easy to place and remove. This coffeemak

If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog your filter. If too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. We recommend a medium-fine grind.

Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter t

Wipe heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heating plate.
