This will remove any dust or residues which remain in the system from the manufacturing process. paper filter beforehand. Add the desired amount of ground coffee, which should correspond to the amount of coffee being brewed. Our recipe calls for about 8 grams of medium-fine grind coffee (2 tablespoons) per 5 ounces of water, which translates to the measurements in the chart. You may find the flavor to be a bit richer than that to which you are accustomed. We recommend, however, that you continue to use this recipe for at least a week before making any adjustments to the proportion. Replace the filter holder in the filter basket and swing the filter basket shut. Open the carafe cover and fill with cold water to just over the amount of coffee you are making. Lift the lid of the water reservoir and pour the water from the carafe into it. The numbers on the water reservoir indicate a slightly higher amount of water per cup than the carafe markings. This is to compensate for the amount of water lost in wetting the grounds and lost as steam during the brewing process. The float on the water window indicates the amount of water necessary to brew the corresponding amount of coffee. Place the carafe back on the hot plate. # Cups 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 12 Amount of Ground Coffee 4 Tbs 7 Tbs 8 Tbs (1/2 Cup) 10 Tbs 12 Tbs (3/4 Cup) 16 Tbs (1 Cup) 20 Tbs (11/4 Cups) 22 Tbs 2.
