How to Make Coffee BEFORE FIRST USE: Clean the urn by following the steps in "How To Clean." NOTE: For best results, always use cold, fresh tap water. 1 Remove cover, coffee basket, and stem. 2 Fill urn to desired water level. You must brew a minimum of 12 cups. Do not fill beyond 42-cup line. 3 Wet coffee basket (to help keep small particles of ground coffee from sifting through). 4 Make sure stem is properly seated in heating unit well in center or urn may not percolate. Water Level* Amount of Ground Coffee* 42 cups 21/2 cups (625 ml) 36 cups 21/4 cups (562.5 ml) 30 cups 13/4 cups (437.5 ml) 24 cups 11/2 cups (375 ml) 18 cups 1 cup (250 ml) 12 cups 3/4 cup (175 ml) *Always keep water and coffee amounts between the minimum and maximum for your urn size. 4 NOTE: We recommend using coffee that has been ground specifically for use in a percolatortype coffeemaker. However, coffee marked "For All Coffeemakers" is acceptable. If using a coffee grinder and whole beans, coffee should be a coarse grind. Finely ground coffee may cause the basket to overflow and result in grounds in the coffee.
