- Swing the filter support out of the appliance
(fig. 3 and 4).
- Place a filter paper type 102 into the filter holder
(fig. 5).
Do not forget to fold the rims.
With some models a permanent filter is
supplied. Paper filters are then not required.
- Fill the filter paper evenly with the required
quantity of ground coffee (fig. 6).
When you use large cups, it is advised to take
one full (heaped) measuring spoonful of
ground coffee for each cup.
When you use smaller cups, it is advised to take
one level (flat) measuring spoonful of ground
coffee for each cup.
Use fast-filter ground coffee. If you grind the
coffee yourself, do not grind it to a fine powder.
- Swing the filter support back into the appliance
until well-seated (fig. 7).
- Position the jug with the lid in place on the hot
plate (fig. 8).
- Switch the Café Gourmet on. The pilot light will
illuminate (fig. 9).
The brewing process begins now.
The "drip-stop" (automatic stop-valve) ensures
that no coffee will drip on the hot plate if you
- remove the jug from the appliance for a
moment during the brewing process;
- remove the jug after making coffee. (You can
then leave the filter holder in the appliance.)
Note: When placing the jug into the appliance,
ensure that the lid is always fitted to the jug!
If the lid has not been placed, the "drip-stop" will
block the outlet opening of the filter, so that no
coffee drips into the jug.
Coffee is ready
- When the last coffee has dripped out of the
filter, you can take the jug (with the lid) out of
the appliance (fig. 10).
- If you do not intend to drink all of the coffee now
(fig. 11), you can put the jug with the remainder
of the coffee back on the hot plate. In this case,
replace the jug rightaway (fig. 12).
• The hot plate will keep the coffee at the best
temperature. Yet, coffee is at its best directly
after it has been made!
- After drinking coffee, swing the filter support out
of the appliance (fig. 13).
- Lift the filter holder with the paper filter out of

Making more coffee immediately
If you have made coffee and wish to make some
more immediately, first switch the appliance off.
You may then fill the water tank again. When
doing so, pour the first quantity of cold water
against the temperature sensor (in the centre of
the lid) (fig. 17). This will make the outlet opening
under the water tank close again.
Jug broken? Extra jug wanted?
You can order a separate jug from your dealer or
Philips Service Centre under type nr. HD7919.
