Setup

Initial Cleaning

Before brewing your first cup, it is recommended to run a cycle with water only. This cleanses the coffee maker and enhances the flavor extraction for subsequent brews.

1. Fill the water reservoir with fresh water.
2. Ensure no K-pod or ground coffee filter is in the brewing chamber.
3. Close the lid and place an empty mug on the drip tray.
4. Press the "Hot Brew" button to run a full water cycle.
5. Discard the hot water.

Water Reservoir

The coffee maker features a removable 40 oz water tank, allowing you to brew up to 4 cups without frequent refilling. Ensure correct installation of the water tank to prevent leakage.

Brewing Options (K-Cup, Ground Coffee, Tea)

Your coffee maker is compatible with K-pods, ground coffee, and tea. It comes with a capsule holder and a reusable basket filter.

• For K-pods: Insert the K-pod into the capsule holder.
• For Ground Coffee/Tea: Use the reusable basket filter. Place your desired amount of ground coffee or tea leaves into the filter.

All accessories are dishwasher safe for easy maintenance.
