Preparing Coffee - Krups 229 Mode D'emploi

Remember: After about 1 - 2 minutes of
brewing, the filter holder allows the water to
flow into the coffee carafe. This steeping
period allows for maximum flavor extraction
from your coffee.

Preparing Coffee

Filling the water chamber
Open the hinged lid (1). Using the thermal
•
carafe, pour in the desired quantity of cold
water (2). The water level indicator (g)
shows how much water you are filling into
the container.
The amount of freshly brewed coffee
delivered after the brewing process will always
be slightly less than the amount put into the
water container. This is due to the minimum
absorption of the water by the ground coffee.
Therefore, it is recommended that you add a
little extra water at the beginning so that you
will have the number of cups you desire.
Close the thermal coffee carafe lid by
•
twisting it tightly to the right (3).
Replace the thermal carafe on the thermal
•
carafe base with the lid (4).
Putting in the ground coffee
• Swing out the filter holder container (5).
• Insert a no. 4 filter paper (1X4) or Gold Tone
Filter in the filter holder. We recommend
that you fold over the edges of the filter
paper (6) to make it easier to insert.
You can purchase KRUPS size 4 paper filters
(#983) or KRUPS AromaControl Gold Tone
Filter (#049) at your local KRUPS retailer or by
calling the KRUPS Consumer Service
Department at 1-800-526-5377, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week (US customers only).
• Pour your ground coffee into the filter paper
(7).
We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring
scoop of ground cofee for each cup of robust
coffee. After using your KRUPS coffee maker
several times, you can adjust the measure to
suit your own taste.
• Close the filter holder container, check that
10
it is correctly engaged (8) and make sure the
carafe with its cover closed tightly is on the
thermal carafe base (4).
• Turn the machine 'on' to begin (position (h)
for #197, position (m) for #199 & #229).
The indicator light will illuminate and your
coffee will begin brewing.
• To serve, remove carafe and twist lid
counterclockwise half of a revolution and
begin to pour (9).
"Stop 'n Serve" feature
The "Stop 'n Serve" feature is KRUPS answer
to the impatient coffee drinker's clamor for "a
quick cup of coffee!" This device
automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee
through the filter cone if the thermal carafe is
removed from the thermal carafe base during
the brewing cycle. You have about 20
seconds between the removal of the carafe
and its being reinserted to pour one or two
cups of coffee. The "Stop'n Serve" device
closes off the filter cone so effectively that
there is virtually no coffee-drip onto the
thermal carafe base. Once the carafe is
replaced, the brewing cycle and the flow of
coffee into the carafe are resumed.
If coffee does drip onto the thermal carafe
base after removal of the carafe, it is usually
an indication that too much ground coffee
has been placed into the paper filter. This
causes the water that jets into the filter cone
to overflow between the paper filter and the
sides of the filter cone. The overflow carries
coffee grounds that interfere with the
snapshut action of the filter holder, thus
allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip
through.
If this blockage and subsequent dripping do
occur, replace the carafe immediately and
allow the full brewing cycle to run its course.
Do not remove the filter until the brewing
cycle is completed.
Preparing "wake-up" coffee (model #199
and #229)
This feature enables you to enjoy freshly
brewed coffee at any pre-selected time within
a 24-hour period.
