Permanent filters 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 heaping Tbsp. of ground coffee per cup and modify the
quantity to suit your taste.

Preparing Coffee
We recommend rinsing the coffee machine by running one or two cycles with water only,
without ground coffee in the filter basket.
Be sure that the water chamber is empty. Remove any literature, etc. found in the water
chamber before the first use.
The lid of the glass carafe must be properly positioned during the brewing process.
To open the lid press the flap on top of handle.
Make sure that the swivel filter is closed properly during the brewing process. Push in firmly
until the handle touches the side of the coffee maker and filter "clicks" into place.
!
Caution : If the swivel filter is not closed properly the "Pause and Serve" feature
can not function. This may cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
