BREWING COFFEE

the number of cups of coffee to be brewed. 
3. Place the paper filter of your choice into the brew basket (see USING YOUR CHOICE 
OF COFFEE FILTER section for assistance).  
\b. Use the built in scoop to add ground coffee into the paper 
filter.  We suggest one scoop per cup of coffee.  Adjust for your

8. While brewing, the Sneak-A-Cup™ feature will stop coffee 
flow into the carafe, allowing you to pour a cup of coffee before the brew cycle 
finishes.  Always return the carafe on to the carafe plate within 20 seconds to prevent 
coffee overflow. 
9. To stop your coffeemaker’s brew cycle at any time, press the illuminated On/Off button.
10. When the brew cycle is complete:
