HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.

REUSABLE FILTERS: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It will allow the coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.

Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98% water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste.

Cleanliness
A clean coffee maker is essential to brewing great tasting coffee each and every time. Please refer to the next page for steps on routine cleaning.

ROUTINE CLEANING

Cleaning
Always unplug your Hot Cup TM coffeemaker and allow it to completely cool before cleaning. Wash the brew basket, cone basket, drip tray and drip tray cover with warm water and mild liquid soap. Clean the exterior surface of the appliance with a damp cloth and then polish with a soft dry cloth.

Descaling
To ensure safe and efficient operation of your Hot Cup TM coffeemaker, it is important to descale it regularly. Your water company should be able to tell you how hard the water is in your area.

1.  In an empty water tank, add a 1 cup of white vinegar and 2 cups of water. Allow the solution to mix thoroughly.
2.  Insert the brew basket into the coffeemaker without a filter or coffee in it.
3.  Place a large cup underneath the brew basket.
4. Run a few brew cycles until the solution reaches the “MIN” mark. Discard the water in the cup.
5.  Refill the water tank to the “MAX” marking with clean water and repeat the process until the water reaches the “MIN” marking. This will ensure the entire vinegar solution has cycled through the coffeemaker.
