Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying pre-ground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.
If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
Use approximately 1 tablespoon of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 tablespoon [11 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause the filter basket to overflow.
Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning” sections

Care and Cleaning – Single-Serve Side

Allow to cool between cycles.

Care and Cleaning – Carafe Side

All coffeemakers should be cleaned at least once a month (once a week for areas with hard water).

Pour 1 pint (2 cups/500 ml) vinegar into carafe side reservoir. Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button after 30 seconds and wait 30 minutes. Press I (ON) button. Press O (OFF) button when finished.Run 2–3 more brew cycles with CLEAN WATER only. Allow to cool between cycles.

Troubleshooting (Single-Serve Side)

PROBLEM	PROBABLE CAUSE
Weak coffee.	• Not enough ground coffee was used. See “How to Use Single-Serve Side.”
Coffee overflows from the brew basket, travel mug, or regular mug.	• Excessive amount of water in single-serve reservoir. Use a travel mug or a mug into which coffee will be brewed to fill the reservoir. Use slightly less grounds when brewing decaffeinated or flavored coffees. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
Coffee tastes bad.	• The coffeemaker needs cleaning. • Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. • Poor coffee quality and freshness. • Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

Troubleshooting (Carafe Side)

PROBLEM	PROBABLE CAUSE
The brew basket overflows, or coffee brews slowly.	• Excessive amounts of ground coffee. • Decaffeinated and/or coffee ground too finely can cause overflow. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind and use slightly less ground. • The coffeemaker needs cleaning. If using a paper filter: • Coffee grounds between the paper filter and brew basket. • Paper filter not open and in the proper position. • Rinse the brew basket before inserting the paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the basket. • Poor-quality paper filter.
Coffee leaks onto the base.	• Carafe removed from the keep-hot plate for more than 20 seconds during the brewing cycle.
Coffee tastes bad.	• The coffeemaker needs cleaning. • Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set the coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. • Coffee-to-water ratio is unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference. • Poor coffee quality and freshness. • Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

PROBLEM	PROBABLE CAUSE
Coffee sediment in the cup.	• Use a high-quality, basket-style paper filter instead of a permanent coffee filter.
If the coffee is not brewing, or the unit will not turn on.	• Carafe not positioned on keep-hot plate. • The water reservoir is empty. • The unit is unplugged. • Power outage. • Power surge. Unplug; then plug the unit back in. • The clock requires a reset after a power outage.
Longer than normal brew time.	• Mineral deposits can build up in the pump of your coffeemaker. Periodic cleaning of the inside of the unit is recommended. More frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the hardness of your water. See “Care and Cleaning – Carafe Side” section. NOTE: Do not disassemble the unit.
