COFFEEMAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Your new Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker has the following features:

• PRESOAK FEATURE – This feature presoaks your coffee with water to

release more flavor. The effect is similar to the pour-over artisan coffee-making process
“blooming,” which fully extracts your grounds to create a fuller, richer taste.

• EASY FRONT ACCESS – The design of this coffeemaker makes it easy to

fill the water reservoir and add coffee grounds to the filter basket from the front of the
coffeemaker saving you time when you need it most.

• FRONT LOADING BREW BASKET DOOR – Swings open and close

to easily add your coffee grounds.

• GRAB-A-CUP AUTO-PAUSE – When you need a cup before brewing

is finished, carefully remove the carafe and the grab-a-cup auto-pause feature will
automatically activate, temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the carafe.

• REMOVABLE FILTER BASKET – The removable filter basket has more

capacity to hold coffee grounds compared to our other coffeemakers, so you can add
more coffee for a bolder cup.

• WATER WINDOW – No Overflow! See exact water level as you fill.

• WARMING PLATE – This warming plate was designed with a lower wattage

heater to allow you to keep your coffee hot after brewing. It’s also non-stick, so your
carafe slides smoothly on and off the warming plate.

• STRONG/1-4 CUP BUTTON – Select this feaure for a bolder, more full-

bodied flavor coffee and use when brewing 1-4 cups for the best extraction of flavor from
a smaller amount of coffee.

• WATER FILTRATION (IF INCLUDED) – Great tasting coffee begins

with great water. We suggest using filtered water along with the included Mr. Coffee®
carbon-based water filtration system. During the brewing process the filtration system
helps remove up to 97% of chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.

Preparing For Use

Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee:

For best results, use medium ground coffee and the Coffee Scoop that is included
with your coffeemaker for accurate measurements. Coffee experts agree that
one factor to create the perfect cup is using more coffee. This coffeemakers
Removable Filter Basket holds more capacity for coffee grounds compared to
our other coffeemakers. Use the suggested coffee measurements as a guide for
creating your perfect cup.

Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart:

To Brew Ground Coffee

1 level scoop = 1 tablespoon

= 5 gr./0.17 oz./15 ml

1 cup = 5 fl. oz. /148 ml

of brewed coffee

Use more or less coffee to suit

your taste *(max 60 grams of ground coffee)

Caution: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 12
rounded tablespoons/scoops. Exceeding this amount or

using fine coffee may cause overflow.

12 Cups 12 scoops

10 Cups 10 scoops

8 Cups 8 scoops

6 Cups 6 scoops

4 Cups 4 scoops

BREWING COFFEE NOW

There are two convenient ways to add water to your Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker:

Figure 9

1

Lift up the front water

reservoir lid and pour
in cold, fresh filtered
water until the water
window fills to the
desired capacity.
(Figure 9)

Note: To unfa sten the Removable S plash Guard, lif t from the finger hole.

TIP:
This is convenient
if the back of your

coffeemaker is

underneath a cabinet

or other obstruction.

Note:

For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on
the glass Carafe and on the water window show the
amount of water needed to make the corresponding
desired number of cups.

• Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” on the
water window or water will flow out of the overfill
hole in the back of the coffeemaker. (Figure 11)

• The amount of coffee brewed will always be
slightly less than the amount of water poured in the
water reservoir. This is due to absorption of water
by the coffee grounds.

• Make sure the Carafe is securely placed on the
warming plate or the water and the grounds will
overflow from the Removable Filter Basket.

CAUTION:To reduce the risk of personal injury or damaging the carafe, do not add cold
water to the carafe if it is hot. Allow it to cool before using.

Using the Water Filtration System

Congratulations! You are the owner of a
MR.COFFEETM water filtration system. This carbon­based water filter improves the taste of your coffee
by removing up to 97% of the chlorine from the water
you use to brew your coffee. Before using, look for
the Mr. CoffeeTM Water Filtration Friendly symbol
on the bottom of your filter basket. If you do not see
this symbol, please call 1-800-672-6333. If you see the
symbol, follow these steps to use your filter:

Frame

Filter

Disk

Red
Indicator

1

Align the red indicator

on the frame to the
letter that corresponds
with the month that
you are using the disk
for the first time. This
serves to remind you to
change the disk every
month (approx. 30
brewing cycles).

2

When you are done

brewing your coffee,
rinse the water filter
with fresh water. Do
not put your water filter
in the dishwasher.

3

To replace the

water filter disks: slide
the used disk from
your water filtration
system. To insert the
new disk, slide disk
into the frame.

Strong/1-4 Cup Button

Select the Strong/1-4 Cup button to give any cup size a bolder taste. It is ideal
for brewing 1-4 cups because it slows down the water flow to extract the
water evenly over a smaller amount of coffee, which enhances strength and
flavor for smaller batches. The result is bolder, more full-bodied cup of coffee.
To activate, press the Strong/1-4 Cup button.

Note:This feature must be activated before you press Select/Off button to
activate Brew Now. You cannot turn on/off this feature once brewing has
started.

The coffeemaker will remain in Strong/1-4 Cup mode until you change it back
to regular strength by pressing the Strong/1-4 Cup button again, or until you
unplug the coffeemaker.

Presoak Feature

This feature presoaks your coffee with water to release more flavor. The effect
is similar to the pour-over artisan coffee-making process “blooming”, which fully
extracts your grounds to create a fuller, richer taste.

The Fresh Brew™ Timer Feature

The Fresh Brew™ Timer tracks the freshness
of coffee since the last brew. The timer
automatically activates at the start of the
brewing cycle. Press the Fresh Brew™ Timer
button once and the clock will change to
display the amount of time that has passed
since brewing started. Push again to display
current time. (Figure 22)

Note: The Brew Now indicator light must
