One Cup at a Time - Your new Brewer makes one fresh beverage at a time. Water Reservoir - Your new Brewer holds up 24 oz of water. This will make appropriately 4 cups of coffee (6-oz. each) or 2 cups of coffee (10-oz. each). The Right Water Makes a Difference - For the best tasting gourmet coffee, tea or hot cocoa, we recommend using bottled or filtered water. We do not recommend using distilled or reverse osmosis water. Water quality varies from place to place. If you notice an undesirable taste in your cup of coffee such as chlorine or other mineral taste, we recommend you consider using bottled water or water from a filtration system. Replace K-Cup® Pack Between Brews - It is necessary to replace your K-Cup® pack before starting your next brew. This will reset the Brewer to allow you to brew another cup of coffee. Customize Your Flavor & Brew - With 2 ways to brew you can choose your favorite ground coffee or over 500 varieties of K-Cup® Packs, your Brewer gives you endless options to customize the flavor and strength that's perfect for you. For a strong, intense cup, select an Extra Bold K-Cup® Pack (with up to 30% more ground coffee than regular varieties). Fill the Water Reservoir with filtered or bottled water up to the Max FILL LEVEL indicator and brew normally. Brewing Into a Tall Mug - To brew into a tall mug, simply remove the Drip Tray Assembly and place the tall mug on the Drip Tray Base. The Drip Tray - Any liquid overflow (from your cup) will be caught in the Drip Tray. Be sure to empty the Drip Tray. The Drip Tray has a snug fit to ensure it stays put in transit. Clean Your Brewer Regularly - To keep your Brewer looking and performing its best, be sure to clean the external and internal components on a regular basis. See De-Scaling in page 16 for more information. 13 5/5/16 10:44
