Be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 scoop of ground coffee per cup.
Decalcification Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits, which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker. ™ Brew Pause Feature This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup midbrew. Because the flavour profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavour strength of the finished pot.
