COFFEEMAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new MR. COFFEE®coffeemaker has the following
features:
• Brewing Capacity – 12 cups – Glass decanter series.
• Removable Filter Basket – The filter basket lifts out for
fast and easy cleaning and filling.
• Pause ‘n Serve – Can’t wait for the coffee to finish brewing?
The Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to
pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is still brewing.
Carefully remove the decanter and the Pause ’n Serve
feature will be automatically activated, temporarily stopping
the flow of coffee into the decanter.
• Water Window – Show amount of water in the reservoir
for accurate filling.
• Non-Stick Warming Plate – This feature allows you
to keep your coffee hot after brewing. The non-stick
attribute prevents the decanter from sticking to the
surface of the warming plate.
• Brew Strength Selector – Adjusts the brewing time to
create a more full-flavored coffee.
• Water Filtration System – Great tasting coffee begins
with great water! Using the Mr. Coffee®carbon-based
water filter in the Mr. Coffee®coffeemaker during the
brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine
from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.
• Cord Storage – Safely stores excess cord to keep your
countertop neat.
• Two-Hour Auto Shut-Off – Keeps your coffee hot for two
hours, then automatically shuts off.
• Programmable Controls:
– Clock – The clock serves as a handy kitchen clock and
allows you to set the Delay Brew feature and functions
as the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature.
– Fresh Brew™ Timer feature – Lets you know how long
your coffee has been waiting for you.
8 9
– Delay Brew – Would you like to wake up to a fresh
pot of coffee? The timer allows you to preset when
you would like the coffeemaker to automatically begin
brewing your coffee, up to 24 hours in advance.
– Special Cleaning Cycle – Enables you to easily maintain
and clean mineral deposits from your coffeemaker.
NOTE: If you have selected any of the operating functions,
the coffeemaker will act upon the last operation selected
if the power is restored within 10 seconds after a power
outage.
CLEAN YOUR COFFEEMAKER BEFORE USING THE
FIRST TIME
Make sure your first cup of coffee is as good as can be by
cleaning your MR. COFFEE®Coffeemaker before its first use.
Just follow these simple steps:
1. Wash the decanter, decanter lid and the filter basket
in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each
thoroughly (please refer to the parts diagram listed
above).
2. Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew
cycle with water only, without adding coffee and coffee
filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off,
discard the water in the decanter and rinse the decanter,
decanter lid, and filter basket.
Your coffeemaker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!
BVMC-VM Series_17ESM1.indd 9-10 6/28/17 10:40

BVMC-VM Series_17ESM1.indd 11-12 6/28/17 10:40

B. Water Filtration System (Not included in all models)
Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE®water
filtration system. Using the Mr. Coffee®carbon-based water
filter in the Mr. Coffee®coffeemaker during the brewing
process helps remove up to 97% of the
chlorine from the water and improves the
taste of your coffee.
First, look for the MR. COFFEE Filter Friendly
symbol on the bottom of your filter
basket. If you do not see this symbol,
please call 1-800-672-6333.
To use the water filtration system in your
MR. COFFEE®Coffeemaker, please follow these
steps:
1. Align the red indicator on the frame to the
letter that corresponds with the month that
you are using the disk for the first time. This
serves to remind you to change the disk
every month (approx. 30 brewing cycles). To
change the disk, remove the used disk, insert
new disk into the frame.
NOTE: For optimum results, use the water
filtration system with a permanent filter.
2. Rinse the water filter in fresh water before
first use.
3. Follow Adding Water and Coffee instructions.
4. When you are done brewing your coffee,
rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do
not put your water filter in the
dishwasher.
To replace the water filter disks: slide
the used disk from your water filtration
system. To insert the new disk, slide disk
into the frame.
12 13
C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket lid. For your
convenience, you can lift out the
removable filter basket.
2. Place a MR. COFFEE®brand 10-12
cup paper basket-style filter or a MR.
COFFEE®permanent filter into the
removable filter basket (Figure 5).
NOTE: If using paper filters, it is
important that the sides of the filter fit
flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter
collapse occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter
basket and adding ground coffee and water.
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to
level the coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement
Chart.
4. After following instructions in the Water Filtration
System, place the MR. COFFEE®water filter in the basket,
making sure that the side marked “this side up” faces you
and that the water filter is level.
5. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered
and all the way down in the brew basket and close the lid.
6. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired
capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) For easy and accurate
filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the
coffeemaker’s water window, should show the amount of
water needed to make the corresponding desired number
of cups. Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” or water will
flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the coffeemaker.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less
than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This
is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee
grounds.
7. Lift the pour through.

NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming
plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the
filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or
damage to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/
or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water
to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow
the decanter to cool before using.
BREWING COFFEE NOW
1. After completing the steps in the Adding Water and
Coffee section and with the glass decanter and the filter
basket securely in place, turn the coffeemaker on by
pressing the BREW NOW button once. The BREW NOW
blue light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is on
and brewing (Figure 6).
2. To enjoy a more full flavored cup of coffee,
press the Strong, Regular button once.
The STRONG Brew Strength amber light will
turn on. The coffeemaker will remain in
the Brew Strength you have selected until
you change it back to REGULAR strength by
pressing the Strong, Regular button or until
you unplug the machine (Figure 7).
3. After the used coffee grounds have cooled,
carefully remove the filter basket and
discard them.
CAUTION: The brew basket lid is hot after
brewing. Always allow the coffeemaker to cool
down before cleaning.
4. Prior to making a second pot of coffee,
turn the coffeemaker off. This will reset the
FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature. To turn the
coffeemaker off, press the BREW NOW/OFF button all
lights will turn off.

your coffee has been waiting for you. At the start of the brew
cycle, the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will automatically be
activated.
Press the FRESH BREW™ TIMER button once
(Figure 8) and the clock time will change to
show the amount of time that has passed since
brewing completed. Push again to display
current time.
NOTE: The BREW NOW blue light must be on for
the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature to operate. The
time and delay brew time cannot be set when

BVMC-VM Series_17ESM1.indd 17-18 6/28/17 10:40

Water Filtration Disk Replacement
Your water filtration disk will need to be replaced once a
month (approx. 30 brew cycles). If the machine will not be
in use for an extended period of time, rinse the water filter
with running water and clean the coffeemaker before use.
Replacement water filtration disks can be purchased online
at www.mrcoffee.com, or by calling (1-800-672-6333) in the
U.S. or 1-800-667-8623 in Canada.
Cleaning the Decanter
Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the decanter, and
coffee may then turn this stain brown.
To remove decanter stains:
1. Fill the decanter with a solution of equal parts water and
vinegar and let the solution stand in the decanter for
approximately 20 minutes.
2. Discard the solution, then wash and rinse the decanter.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners that may scratch the
decanter, scratches may cause the decanter to break.
2. Place an empty MR. COFFEE®10-12 cup basket-style
paper filter or MR. COFFEE®permanent filter into the filter
basket and close the brew basket lid.
3. Place the empty decanter back in the unit, centered on
the warmer plate.
4. Press the CLEAN button until the red CLEAN
indicator light turns on (Figure 10). For
your convenience the cleaning cycle is
automatic. The entire cycle will take 45-60
minutes to complete. During the cleaning
your coffeemaker will:
a. Slow brew approx. 3 cups of cleaning
solution.
b. Pause for 30 minutes (the CLEAN light will remain on to
alert you that the process is active).
c. After 30 minutes, your coffeemaker will brew the
remainder of the cleaning solution.
d. When complete, the CLEAN light will turn off and your
coffeemaker will turn off.
5. Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the decanter
thoroughly with clean water.
6. Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water.
7. Place the empty decanter back on the coffeemaker,
centered on the warming plate.
8. Remove and discard the paper filter used during the
cleaning cycle. If a Mr. Coffee®permanent filter was used
during cleaning, remove it and rinse it thoroughly before
replacing it in the filter basket.
9. Begin brewing and allow the full brew cycle to complete.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 one more time.
Your coffeemaker is now clean and ready to brew the next
pot of delicious, hot coffee!
