basket style or 3% inch flat disc filter in basket.
See Notes.
4. Measure coffee (AOC, drip or regular grind) or
tea into basket; spread evenly. Place Cover-
Spreader on basket.
5. Fill the carafe with fresh cold water to the level
you wish (4 cup level is to bottom edge of
band).
6. Pour the water into reservoir through openings
in Water Reservoir Cover (Do not overfill).
7. Place filled basket in carafe; place on warmer
plate. ALWAYS MAKE SURE CARAFE IS IN
PLACE BEFORE PLUGGING IN CORO.

not, however, reheat cold coffee or tea.
12. When finished using coffee maker or when carafe is empty be sure to press
switch OFF and unplug.

NOTES:
Drip grind coffee is a finer grind and allows greater extraction for a full body
taste. Regular grind gives a milder cup of coffee.
A standard coffee measure (scoop) is equal to two level tablespoons. Taste
for coffee and tea differ for individuals. You may wish to vary the amounts to suit
your own taste.

AMOUNTS OF COFFEE ANO TEA

Coffee
2 cups - 1 to 2 scoops or 2 to 4 tablespoons
3 cups - 1% to 3 scoops or 3 to 6 tablespoons
4 cups - 2 to 4 scoops or 4 to 8 tablespoons
Tea
Use 1 teaspoon for each cup of water.
To prevent coffee grounds from slipping past a flat or disc filter, wet the filter
before placing in the basket.

HINTS FOR BEST USE

1. Start with a clean coffee maker, since oil and sediment which cling to the
carafe may impair flavor.
2. To keep any excess grounds from falling into water, you may wish to
dampen filter before placing in basket. This can be done by first dampening
filter and placing in basket or placing dry filter in basket and running water
through it, emptying excess.
3. The amount of the brew will be slightly less than the amount of water you
started with. Approximately % ounce of water (per cup) is absorbed by the
ground coffee.
4. Never pour brewed coffee or tea back into reservoir.
5. Once brewed never dry and reuse coffee grounds. Not only will f1avor be
impaired, but a potential safety problem could occur since the temperature
and moisture levels involved are ideal for mold growth.
6. If desired, you may use your coffee/tea maker to heat water for use in pre-
paring instant soups, broths, hot chocolate, gelatin, etc. Simply pour water
from carafe to reservoir and let it pump through system back into carafe.
