EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of tangling and
tripping. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords may be
used if care is exercised. If a detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is
used:
• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be appropriate for the
electrical rating of the appliance.

countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on,
especially if children are present.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, which means that one blade is wider than
the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is designed to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If plug does not fully fit into the outlet, reverse it.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify
the plug.

Brewer Set-Up
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove packaging materials, labels, and stickers from the coffee brewer.
2. Clean the appliance by filling the water tank with clear, cold water to the
maximum level mark. Place the carafe with the lid removed and the filter
basket on top, under the shower head. Turn the coffee brewer on to allow the
water to run through.
3. Let the appliance cool down for 5 minutes before repeating the process.
Brew only water through the coffee brewer at least 2 times before brewing
any coffee.
Brewing Instructions
1. Remove the carafe and slide the filter basket out of the brewer.
2. Raise the lid of the water tank and pour 4-8 cups of fresh cold water into
the tank (Fig. 1). Do not fill above the MAX fill line.
3. Place a V style filter in filter basket.We recommend a #4 V style filter. Scoop
ground coffee into the filter. We recommend two level tbsp. of drip grind
coffee per cup, varying the amount according
to your taste (Fig. 2). This equates to approximately 7 to 9 grams of coffee
per cup.

10
4. Place the filter basket on the thermal carafe (without lid) and put both back
into the brewer (Fig. 3).
5. Switch the appliance on. The on/off switch will light up to show that the
machine is operating (Fig. 4).
6. After the brewing process ends remove the coffee-filled carafe from the
appliance. To dispose of the used filter and coffee grounds, we recommend
dumping it from the filter basket. Rinse the filter basket out, and set aside
to dry.
7. To pour and for maximum heat retention, place the lid on the carafe shortly
after the brew cycle is complete. (Fig. 5).
8. The appliance is equipped with an automatic shut off function which triggers
when the brew cycle is complete. The appliance can be switched off manually
at any time by using the on/off switch.

Optional Instructions
for Pre-Infusion Mode:
Freshly roasted coffee has more CO2trapped in the bean. If you are brewing
with freshly roasted coffee, or you would like to pre-infuse the coffee, press and
hold the power switch for 5 seconds. At that point the power switch light will
flash and 2 beeps will be heard indicating that you’ve enabled the pre-infusion
mode. Press and release the power switch a second time to begin brewing. You
can disable the pre-infusion mode by pressing the power switch until the light
blinks (5 sec.) and a single beep is heard. The brewer will remain
in this mode until the mode is turned off or the brewer is unplugged.
Brewing a Better Cup
Bonavita brewers are expertly engineered to take the guesswork out of brewing
the perfect cup of coffee and produce exceptional, consistent results with every
use. Our easy-to-use brewers keep things simple, with great coffee at the push
of a single button.
Following are a few tips to help you brew an amazing cup of coffee with your
new Bonavita brewer:
COFFEE QUALITY, FRESHNESS AND GRIND
The quality of the coffee has a great impact on brewed coffee’s flavor. Using
freshly roasted coffee and grinding the beans just before brewing are important
considerations. We recommend using coffee that was roasted in the last 30
days for the best flavor. In addition, we encourage use of an air tight container or
sealed bag stored in a dark cabinet to help extend your coffee’s lifespan.
Grinding coffee significantly speeds up the time in which coffee starts to lose
its’ flavor. Once coffee is ground the air begins to attack essential oils and other
volatile flavor components. It’s only a matter of hours before most of the ground
coffee’s aroma has evaporated. While we encourage grinding your coffee
immediately before brewing whenever possible, we know that there are times
when pre-grinding can’t be avoided.
Whether you are purchasing pre-ground coffee or grinding it just before you
brew, we recommend using coffee that is ground to a medium / course setting,
similar to course ground salt.

12
COFFEE TO WATER RATIO
Applying the same ratio of water to coffee grounds each time you brew will
result in a more consistent cup of coffee. Using a scale to weigh your coffee
is the best way to stay consistent, but we understand that might not always be
possible. We also recommend brewing in 6 or 8 cup batches. In the case of
Bonavita brewers, 1 cup is equal to 5oz.
Using the tools that you have at your disposal, here is what we recommend
for your Bonavita brewer:
Batch Size Water Volume Coffee Weight Coffee Scoops
(ground)
6-Cup batch 1000ml 55 grams 12 tbsp.
8-Cup batch 1300ml 65 grams 16 tbsp.
Brewing time is approximately 6 minutes for 8 cups of coffee. This will allow for
proper water flow and saturation time of the coffee grounds.
BREWING WATER AND TEMPERATURE
An average cup of coffee is over 98% water. Simply put, the water you use to
brew your coffee will affect the flavor of your coffee. So, we highly recommend
brewing with fresh, filtered water whenever possible.
Additionally, tap water and its mineral content varies by region of the country.
Using filtered water will help to minimize the scale build-up in your brewer, which
will help your brewer perform at its best.
The coffee industry’s standard for the temperature of the brewing water is 198°-
205°F (92°-96°C). This coffee brewer is specially engineered to heat the water
to precisely this range.

Cleaning and Maintenance
This manual includes some helpful guidance for maintaining your brewer over
time to ensure consistent performance and flavorful beverages. The brewer
contains no internal user serviceable parts, and it’s best to leave servicing and
repairs to the experts at [email protected]
Proper care will ensure years of service from this coffee brewer. Aside from
keeping the brewer clean and descaling when necessary, there is no user
maintenance required.
This appliance contains no internal user serviceable parts. Leave servicing and
repairs to qualified personnel.
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild dish cleaning liquid for cleaning the carafe
and the housing. Make sure to rinse thoroughly.
The filter basket, brewer lid and carafe lid may be cleaned on the top rack of the
dishwasher.
We recommend periodically using a coffee machine cleaning product
to clean your filter basket and carafe. A coffee machine cleaning product helps
remove residual coffee oils, but should not be confused with descaler which
removes mineral build up inside your brewer. See our descaling section on the
following page for detailed information on this important maintenance process.
Please follow the instructions included with your product purchase.

14
CLEANING THE BREWER LID AND SHOWER HEAD:
Always unplug the coffee brewer before
cleaning. The brewer lid with built in shower
head is removable and can be cleaned
on the top rack of the dishwasher.
1. Carefully pull the front edge of the
brewer lid to remove.
2. Clean.
3. Re-install lid.
DESCALING
In hard-water areas, scale from limestone content in the water may build up
in your machine. Scaling can lead to extended preparation time and possible
damage to your coffee brewer. We suggest that you descale your brewer after
every 60 brew cycles, or once every two months. However, if the appliance
makes an unusually loud noise, delays brew time, or fails to achieve the proper
water temperature of 198º-205ºF (92°-96°C), you may need to descale more
often. We recommend periodically using a good quality biodegradable and
phosphate-free coffee machine descaler. One designed to break down mineral
build-up inside your brewer to ensure great coffee and consistent functionality.
Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer, and can be difficult to rinse
thoroughly. Vinegar may also leave behind an odor that can impact the flavor of
your coffee.
