COFFEEMAKER FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Your new MR. COFFEE® coffeemaker has the following features:
• Brewing Capacity – 12 cups – Glass decanter series.
• Removable Filter Basket – The filter basket lifts out for
fast and easy cleaning and filling.
• Pause ‘n Serve – Can’t wait for the coffee to finish brewing?
The Pause ‘n Serve feature allows you up to 30 seconds to pour a cup of coffee while the coffeemaker is still brewing. Carefully remove the decanter and the Pause ’n Serve feature will be automatically activated, temporarily stopping the flow of coffee into the decanter.
• Water Window – Show amount of water in the reservoir
for accurate filling.
• Non-Stick Warming Plate – This feature allows you
to keep your coffee hot after brewing. The non-stick attribute prevents the decanter from sticking to the surface of the warming plate.
• Brew Strength Selector – Adjusts the brewing time to
create a more full-flavored coffee.
• Water Filtration System – Great tasting coffee begins
with great water! Using the Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water filter in the Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.
• Cord Storage – Safely stores excess cord to keep your
countertop neat.
• Two-Hour Auto Shut-Off – Keeps your coffee hot for two
hours, then automatically shuts off.
• Programmable Controls: – Clock – The clock serves as a handy kitchen clock and
allows you to set the Delay Brew feature and functions as the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature.
– Fresh Brew™ Timer feature – Lets you know how long
your coffee has been waiting for you.
8 9
– Delay Brew – Would you like to wake up to a fresh
pot of coffee? The timer allows you to preset when you would like the coffeemaker to automatically begin brewing your coffee, up to 24 hours in advance.
– Special Cleaning Cycle – Enables you to easily maintain
and clean mineral deposits from your coffeemaker.
NOTE: If you have selected any of the operating functions, the coffeemaker will act upon the last operation selected if the power is restored within 10 seconds after a power outage.
CLEAN YOUR COFFEEMAKER BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME
Make sure your first cup of coffee is as good as can be by cleaning your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker before its first use. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Wash the decanter, decanter lid and the filter basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly (please refer to the parts diagram listed above).
2. Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle with water only, without adding coffee and coffee filter.
3. When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off, discard the water in the decanter and rinse the decanter, decanter lid, and filter basket.
Your coffeemaker is now ready to use. Enjoy it!

SETTING THE CLOCK AND DELAY BREW TIME
To Set the Clock:
1. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The clock will flash on the control panel to indicate that the time has not been set yet.
2. Press and hold the HOUR and MINUTE buttons until you reach the current time. The AM or PM indicator will light at the bottom of the display ( Figures 1 and 2).
The clock is now set! NOTE: Pressing any button before setting the
clock will cause the clock to start keeping time from 6:00 a.m. You must set the clock if you want to use the Delay Brew feature.
To Set the Delay Brew Time:
While the display is in the clock mode, simply press the SET DELAY button (Figure 3) and, while the DELAY BREW time is flashing, set the brew time by pressing the HOUR and MINUTE buttons. The AM or PM indicator will light at the bottom of the clock display. (Figure 4)
Within a few seconds the display will change to the current time.
The Delay Brew Time is now set! NOTE: To activate the DELAY BREW cycle, see
the “Brewing Coffee Later” section. To check the programmed time, push the SET
DELAY button. The display will show the time you have programmed the coffee to brew. If you press the SET DELAY button again or wait a few seconds, the display will switch back.

BVMC-VM Series_17ESM1.indd 11-12 6/28/17 10:40
B. Water Filtration System (Not included in all models)
Congratulations! You are the owner of a MR. COFFEE® water filtration system. Using the Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water filter in the Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker during the brewing process helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee.
First, look for the MR. COFFEE Filter Friendly symbol on the bottom of your filter basket. If you do not see this symbol, please call 1-800-672-6333.
To use the water filtration system in your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker, please follow these steps:
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). To change the disk, remove the used disk, insert new disk into the frame.
NOTE: For optimum results, use the water filtration system with a permanent filter.
2. Rinse the water filter in fresh water before first use.
3. Follow Adding Water and Coffee instructions.
4. When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.
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.
12 13
C. Adding Water and Ground Coffee
1. Open the brew basket lid. For your convenience, you can lift out the removable filter basket.
2. Place a MR. COFFEE® brand 10-12 cup paper basket-style filter or a MR. COFFEE® permanent filter into the removable filter basket (Figure 5).
NOTE: If using paper filters, it is important that the sides of the filter fit flush against the side of the filter basket. If filter collapse occurs, dampen the filter before placing in the filter basket and adding ground coffee and water.
3. Add the desired amount of coffee and gently shake to level the coffee. See the Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart.
4. After following instructions in the Water Filtration System, place the MR. COFFEE® water filter in the basket, making sure that the side marked “this side up” faces you and that the water filter is level.
5. Be sure the removable filter basket is properly centered and all the way down in the brew basket and close the lid.
6. Fill the decanter with cold, fresh water to the desired capacity (1 cup equals 5 ounces) For easy and accurate filling, the water markings on the glass decanter and on the coffeemaker’s water window, should show the amount of water needed to make the corresponding desired number of cups. Do not fill past the “12 cup MAX line” or water will flow out of the overfill hole in the back of the coffeemaker.
The amount of coffee brewed will always be slightly less
than the amount of water poured in the water reservoir. This is due to the minimum absorption of water by the coffee grounds.
7. Lift the pour through.

NOTE: Make sure the decanter is fully placed on the warming plate or the water and the grounds will overflow from the filter basket. An overflow may cause personal injury or damage to property.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of damaging the decanter and/
or the risk of personal injury, do not add cold water to the decanter if the decanter is already hot. Allow the decanter to cool before using.
BREWING COFFEE NOW
1. After completing the steps in the Adding Water and Coffee section and with the glass decanter and the filter
basket securely in place, turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the BREW NOW button once. The BREW NOW blue light will turn on to signal that the coffeemaker is on and brewing (Figure 6).
2. To enjoy a more full flavored cup of coffee, press the Strong, Regular button once. The STRONG Brew Strength amber light will turn on. The coffeemaker will remain in the Brew Strength you have selected until you change it back to REGULAR strength by pressing the Strong, Regular button or until you unplug the machine (Figure 7).
3. After the used coffee grounds have cooled, carefully remove the filter basket and discard them.
CAUTION: The brew basket lid is hot after brewing. Always allow the coffeemaker to cool down before cleaning.
4. Prior to making a second pot of coffee, turn the coffeemaker off. This will reset the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature. To turn the coffeemaker off, press the BREW NOW/OFF button all lights will turn off.

5. Make sure the decanter is empty before starting to brew coffee.
6. Be sure to turn your coffeemaker off when no longer using it.
The Fresh Brew™ Timer Feature
The FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature lets you know how long your coffee has been waiting for you. At the start of the brew cycle, the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will automatically be activated.
Press the FRESH BREW™ TIMER button once (Figure 8) and the clock time will change to show the amount of time that has passed since brewing completed. Push again to display current time.
NOTE: The BREW NOW blue light must be on for the FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature to operate. The time and delay brew time cannot be set when the fresh brew time is displayed.
BREWING COFFEE LATER
1. You must first set the time for when you would like the coffeemaker to begin brewing your coffee as described in Setting the Clock and the Delay Brew Timer section.
2. Prepare your coffeemaker as described in Adding Water and Ground Coffee section.
3. To activate DELAY BREW and program your coffeemaker to brew coffee at a later time, press the DELAY BREW button (Figure 9). The blue DELAY BREW light will turn on. The coffeemaker is now set to automatically brew coffee at the pre-set later time. At this time the brew strength light will turn on. You can select the strength that you desire by pressing the Strong, Regular button. (Amber for STRONG, white for REGULAR)

Figure 8
BVMC-VM Series_17ESM1.indd 15-16 6/28/17 10:40
4. At the pre-set time, the blue BREW NOW light will turn on and the DELAY BREW blue light will turn off, indicating the brewing has started in the selected brew strength. The FRESH BREW™ TIMER feature will start.
5. The coffeemaker warmer plate will keep your coffee hot for 2 hours and then automatically turn off. Thermal models will turn off at the end of the brew cycle.
As a safety feature, your coffeemaker will NOT start again automatically the next day. If you want your coffee to brew at the same time the following day, simply add a new filter, coffee and water and set DELAY BREW, by repeating Steps 2 and 3 above.
To cancel DELAY BREW: Press the DELAY BREW button until all
lights turn off (Figure 9).

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance
The red clean light will turn on to let you know that your coffeemaker needs to be cleaned. The red light will turn off after the clean cycle has been completed.
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® Coffeemaker
Minerals (calcium/limestone) found in water will leave deposits in your coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly remove these deposits using MR. COFFEE® Cleaner or vinegar. MR. COFFEE® Cleaner is available at many retail stores or by calling the Consumer Service Department at 1-800-MR COFFEE (1-800-672-6333).
1. Follow package instructions to prepare one batch of MR. COFFEE® Cleaner. Pour the mixture into the water reservoir. Before decalcifying, remove the water filtration disk from the machine.
NOTE: 4 cups or 20 fl. oz. of undiluted, white household vinegar may be used as a substitute for the cleaner.
