3. Remove the Filter Basket and place a standard cupcake-style paper coffee filter in it. 4. Put coffee grounds in the filter, using 1 level tablespoon of drip grind coffee for each cup (5 oz.) of brewed coffee. NOTE: Use more or less grounds per cup to suit your taste. When brewing 2-4 cups, use slightly more grounds per cup (20 tablespoons maximum). 5. Shake the Filter Basket to spread the grounds, and place the Filter Basket back in the Coffeemaker.
SNEAK-A-CUPTM INTERRUPT FEATURE The clock models have a Sneak-A-CupTM Interrupt Feature – an automatic drip stop.

Do not place the Carafe on a cooking surface or in a microwave oven. Care Guide CLEANING AFTER BREWING COFFEE NOTE: Do not place anything other than water or the cleaning solution specified in this book into the Water Reservoir.
MINERAL DEPOSITS AND CLEANING Mineral deposits left by water can clog your Coffeemaker. It is necessary to regularly clean your Coffeemaker to flush out these deposits. Clean your Coffeemaker about every 1 - 3 months. Frequency of cleaning will be affected by water hardness. If you live in a hard water area, you may have to clean the Coffeemaker more frequently. Excessive steaming or a prolonged brewing cycle are signs that cleaning is needed. During cleaning, more steaming occurs than when brewing coffee.
