First Steps:
1. Twist and remove the water reservoir top cover and fill with drinking water, always
pouring from the side.
The water reservoir has a maximum capacity of 8 Cups, equivalent to 40oz or 1.2L.
Labeled marking lines are on inside of reservoir:
a. 1.2 L, 40 ounces or eight 5oz cups
b. .9 L, 30 ounces, 6 5oz cups
c. Calibration Fill Line .6L, 20 ounces, 4 5oz cups
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Do not put coee or anything other than water into the reservoir.
• Do not use hot water as it will adversely aect the water heating process.
2. Replace and twist the reservoir cover into its locked position.
3. Remove the filter basket and place ground coee into the filter. The provided
permanent filter can be used or if you prefer brewing with a paper filter, remove the
permanent filter from the filter basket and insert a paper filter. The recommended
paper filter is a basket shaped 10 cup filter. DO NOT brew using a paper filter placed
inside the permanent filter as this will slow the water flow and could overflow filter
basket.
A full pot of brewed coee in the Behmor Brewer requires up to 14 Tablespoons of
ground coee (60-70 grams or 2 oz). If the Behmor Brewer permanent filter is being
used, finely ground coee is not recommended as it may clog the filter. A standard
drip ground coee grind setting is recommended for use in the Behmor Brewer. For
other levels of brewed coee, see the SCAA Gold Cup Ratio grid on page 12. Adjust
the water and coee amounts based on your taste preference.
4. Place the filter into the filter basket, and slide into place. You will hear a slight clicking
when it locks in position.
5. Set stainless steel carafe on base ensuring it is directly under the filter basket and
raises the filter basket valve. If the carafe isn’t positioned properly under the filter
basket valve, brewed coee may not flow into the carafe properly and back up water
in the filter basket.
6. Proceed with brewing using one of three options described on the next page.
Brewing with your smartphone
Open up the Behmor app, choose your brewer, then follow the easy steps to select your
preferences (Cups, Water temperature, and Pre-soak time).
Don’t forget to fill the reseveoir with the appropriate amount of water and fill grounds
basket with ground coee (see page 12).
Once you have everything selected just tap “Start brewing!”
Brewing without your smartphone
Fill the reservoir with 40 oz of water, fill the grounds basket with 14 tablespoons of ground
coee, and push the start/stop button. It’s that easy!
Default: It will preheat the reservoir filled with 8 cups of water to 200º before beginning
the 45-second pre-soak and brewing steps. Note: Pre-soak will release approximately 4oz
of water first to wet the coee grounds before actual brewing begins. During brewing,
water will be pulsed and released every 15 seconds to create turbulence and help improve
extraction from the coee grounds. Once the reservoir is empty, the light ring will flash
green then turn to a solid green indicating the brew cycle is finished and your coee is
ready to enjoy.
Upcoming Features:
In an upcoming firmware update, you’ll be able to:
•
Assign your own favorite profile to the Start/Stop button’s “Quickstart”
functionality.
• Use your Behmor Brewer as an electric kettle with “Kettle” mode for more pour-
over options.
TIP: Calibrate brewer every 6 months for optimum performance (from app).
