PREPARING FOR USE
Selecting and Measuring Ground Coffee
For best results, use a level tablespoon for ground coffee measurement.
Make sure you use medium grind coffee for a perfect brew.
A. Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart
To Brew Ground Coffee
12 Cups 9 tbsp.
10 Cups 7.5 tbsp.
8 Cups 6.5 tbsp.
6 Cups 4.5 tbsp.
4 Cups 3 tbsp.
1 level tablespoon (tbsp) = 5 gr./0.17 oz.
1 cup = 5 fl. oz. of brewed coffee
Use more or less coffee to suit your taste.
B. Water Filtration System
This carbon-based water filter improves the taste of your
coffee by removing up to 97% of the chlorine from the
water you may use to brew your coffee.
First, locate the MR. COFFEE
®
Filtration 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).
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, twist the gray disk cover from
your water filtration system. Remove the used disk. Insert the
new disk into the frame and twist the cover back into place.
Replacement water filtration disks can be purchased online
at www.mrcoffee.com, at a local retailer, or by calling
1-800-MRCOFFEE in the U.S. or 1-800-667-8623 in Canada.

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 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” 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 reservoir lid and pour the
water into the water reservoir. Close the lid and
place the empty decanter onto the warmer
plate.
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.
