FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The resulting extended cord must be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE PERFECT CUP
COFFEE:
For the best tasting cup of coffee, we highly recommend
using freshly roasted coffee beans. Essentially, you should
purchase your coffee beans every 1-2 weeks in small
batches to ensure fresh coffee every time you brew.
PROPORTION:
Coffee is a personal experience, so you are welcome to use
the amount of coffee that brews your preferred coffee flavor
and strength but never exceed 8 tablespoons of coffee
grounds or beans. Below are some recommendations:
NOTE: Do not add more than 8tbsp of coffee (whole
bean or ground) or fill to the rim. Use the images
below as a reference.

WATER:
It may not seem like an important ingredient, but coffee is
98 percent water. The type of water used when brewing
greatly affects the final taste. For the best tasting gourmet
coffee, we recommend using filtered or bottled water.
Water quality varies from place to place. If you notice an
undesirable taste in your cup of coffee such as chlorine or
other mineral taste, we recommend you consider using bottled
water.
FILTERS:
To ensure you can start brewing your perfect cup
immediately, this Coffeemaker comes with a permanent
filter & grinder to ensure the freshest and most robust cup
of coffee.
CLEANLINESS:
A clean coffee brewer is essential to maintaining great
tasting coffee each and every time. Please refer to the
“CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR COFFEEMAKER”
section.
