a. Push the 1–4 cup button if you are brewing

4. Add the ground coffee
Remove the filter basket by grasping the
handle and lifting straight up, and then
place it on the countertop. Insert a #4 paper
filter OR permanent gold tone filter. If using
the paper filter, be sure that it is completely
open and fully inserted in the basket. It
may help to fold and flatten the seams of
a paper filter beforehand. Add the desired
amount of ground coffee, corresponding to
the number of cups being brewed. Add 1
level scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground coffee
per cup. Adjust the amount according to
taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 scoops (15 tablespoons) for
this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount
may cause overflow if the coffee is too
finely ground.

filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and
