- Fill Water Reservoir: Open the lid and fill the 46-ounce water reservoir with fresh, cold water. Do not overfill.
- Power Connection: Plug the brewer into a grounded 120V electrical outlet. The unit will begin heating the water.

Operating Instructions
The Bunn My Cafe brewer is designed for quick and efficient single-serve brewing of coffee and tea pods.
- Ensure Water is Heated: Wait for the water to reach optimal brewing temperature. The unit features thermostatic controls to maintain this temperature.
- Insert Pod: Open the drawer-style pod holder. Place a 45mm to 61mm coffee or tea pod into one of the two designated pod areas. Note: K-pods are not compatible.
- Select Beverage Type: Press the appropriate button for either "Coffee" or "Tea" for optimal brewing results.
- Brewing: The brewer will dispense 4 to 12 ounces of your selected beverage in approximately 30 seconds for coffee or 50 seconds for tea.
