NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount of water placed into the coffee maker, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter.

Lift out removable filter basket. Insert the permanent filter (a #4 cone-shaped paper filter can alternatively be used.) Fill the filter with the required amount of coffee. After brewing cycle, empty the grounds and rinse thoroughly with water. • Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter.
