to very dark. Light roasts have a smooth, delicate aromatic taste, medium to medium dark
roasts are slightly stronger, with a full-bodied balanced taste, and dark roasts are bold with
smoky undertones.
3. The Grind
Use the proper grind fi nesse and grind just prior to brewing. The variation in the grind de-
pends on the type of fi lter you use. We prefer paper fi lters because they allow you to use a
fi ner grind, thus allowing a full extraction and more contact time with the water. Permanent
fi lters require a slightly coarser grind therefore the extraction rate is reduced. A general rule
of thumb for grinding is the longer the brew process the coarser the grind.
4. The Proportion
We recommend that you use 1 rounded Tbsp. of ground coffee per cup and modify the quan-
tity to suit your taste.

• Use only cold water and a #4 fi lter paper or a permanent fi lter.
• The coffee maker is fi tted with a drip-stop device, allowing you to serve coffee before the
water has fi nished running through. Replace the carafe quickly to avoid overfl ow.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the water reservoir as shown by the water level
indicator (e).
• Place the ground coffee into the paper fi lter or directly into a permanent fi lter. After use, dis-
card the grounds, and rinse the fi lter basket under running water.
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to escape during the brewing cycle.
For models with thermal carafe:
• To ensure maximum heat retention, rinse the thermal carafe with HOT water before use,
and close the lid by turning clockwise.
