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.

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 plug 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. Prepare the brewer for use by filling the water tank with fresh, cold water to
the MAX FILL line. Insert the filter basket until it snaps in place. Remove the
lid from the glass carafe and place the carafe under the filter basket. Turn the
brewer on and let the water cycle through.
3. Allow the brewer to cool for 5 minutes before repeating step 2. It is very
important to cycle only water through the brewer at least 2 times before
making coffee.

1. Remove the carafe and slide the filter basket out of the brewer.
2. Grip the water tank handle and take off the tank vertically from the brewer to
fill with cold water (Fig. 2). Do not fill above the MAX FILL line, do not brew
less than 4 cups of coffee.
3. Place a basket style filter in filter basket. We recommend a basket filter with
a 3-1/4” base dimension. 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. 3). This equates to approximately 7 to 9 grams of coffee
per cup.
4. Slide the filter basket back into the holder until it snaps into place correctly.
(Fig. 4).
5. Place the carafe without lid under the filter basket. (Fig. 5).
6. Press the POWER switch to turn on the brewer. The POWER switch will light
up (Fig. 6).
7. Press the BREW button. It will illuminate.
Note: if you would like to pre-infuse or are using freshly roasted coffee, use the
BLOOM function. Press the BLOOM switch, it will light up and pre-infusion
will begin.
8. When the brew cycle ends, there will be an audible beep. Remove the coffee-
filled carafe from the brewer. To dispose of the used filter and coffee grounds,
we recommend dumping them both into your trash receptacle directly from
the filter basket. After dumping used filter and coffee grounds, rinse the filter
basket and set it aside to dry.
9. This brewer was designed to shut off when the brew cycle is complete. The
brewer can be manually shut off at any time by using the POWER switch.

Brewing a Better Cup
Bonavita brewers are expertly engineered to take the guesswork out of brewing
a perfect cup of coffee. They produce exceptional, consistent results with each
use. Our easy-to-use brewers keep things simple, producing exceptional coffee
at the push of a button.
Here are a few tips to help you make better coffee with your new Bonavita
brewer:
COFFEE QUALITY, FRESHNESS, AND GRIND
The quality of roasted coffee you use has a great impact on the brewed coffee’s
flavor. Using freshly roasted coffee beans and grinding them right before brewing
is strongly recommended. We also recommend using coffee that was roasted in
the last 14 days for optimum flavor. In addition, we encourage you to use an air-
tight container or sealed bag to help extend the lifespan of your coffee beans.
Once coffee beans are ground, they lose flavor very quickly. We strongly
recommend grinding your coffee beans immediately before brewing, whenever
possible. For flat bottom brewers, Bonavita suggests using coffee that is ground
to medium consistency (similar to sand).
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.

Use the guidelines below as a reference using the tools you have available:
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 allows for
proper water flow and evenly extracted coffee grounds.
COFFEE BREWING WATER AND TEMPERATURE
We strongly recommend using only fresh and filtered water in your Bonavita
brewer whenever possible. The average cup of coffee is over 98% water, so the
type of water you brew with will greatly affect its flavor
Additionally, tap water quality and mineral content vary by country and region.
Using filtered water will help minimize mineral scale build-up in your brewer,
which will extend its life and help it perform at its best.
The coffee industry’s standard water temperature for coffee brewing is 198°-
205°F (92°-96°C). Bonavita brewers are engineered to heat water to this range.

Cleaning and Maintenance
To ensure consistent performance this manual contains helpful maintenance
guidelines which will extend the life of your Bonavita brewer. This brewer
contains no serviceable parts. For service, please contact the experts at
[email protected] or 1-888-850-2675 (USA).
Aside from keeping the brewer clean and descaling every 3-4 weeks, 100
brewing cycles, or if unused for 30 days or more, no other user maintenance is
required.
This appliance contains no internal user serviceable parts. Leave servicing and
repairs to qualified personnel.
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild dish liquid for cleaning the carafe and its
housing. After cleaning, make sure to rinse the carafe thoroughly. The filter
basket and carafe can also be cleaned on the top rack of the dishwasher.
A coffee machine cleaning product should be used periodically to remove
residual coffee oils. A coffee machine cleaning product is not the same as
a descaling product. Bonavita recommends Cafetto Brew Clean, a powder
designed to remove coffee oils and stain, and provide a superior clean.
Please follow all instructions and guidelines included with your Bonavita brewer
purchase.
CLEANING THE SHOWERHEAD
Note: Always unplug the coffee brewer
before cleaning.
1. Hold the showerhead and carefully
turn clockwise to unlock.
2. Gently clean with a soft/damp cloth.
3. Turn and lock the showerhead back
into place.

DESCALING
In areas with hard water, scale from mineral content in your water may build up
over time in your coffee brewer. Mineral content build-up will lead to extended
coffee brewing times and possibly damage essential components of the brewer.
Bonavita recommends descaling your brewer every 100 brewing cycles or when
the DESCALE button is illuminated. If your brewer makes an unusually loud
noise, proper brewing temperature range of 198º-205ºF (92°-96°C), or delays
brew time, you may need to descale more frequently.
This brewer should be descaled using a biodegradable and phosphate free
coffee machine descaler. Bonavita recommends Cafetto Renew for all of your
descaling purposes.
NOTE: Vinegar may not effectively descale your brewer and can be
difficult to rinse out thoroughly. Vinegar may also leave behind an order
that can impact the flavor of your coffee.
TO DESCALE
1. Follow all instructions on your coffee machine descaling product
2. Repeat brewing instructions 1-6 (page 10) to fill the brewer with water
3. Press the DESCALE button and it will flash and begin the cleaning cycle.
4. Repeat brewing instructions 1-6 (page 10) to rinse the coffee brewer two
more times.
NOTE: The descaling process will take approximately 45 minutes. To
cancel the cleaning cycle at any time, press the DESCALE button again.
