Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Unpack and Place: Remove all packaging materials. Place brewer on a flat, stable surface away from heat sources and water splashes.
  2. Water Reservoir: Lift the handle and remove the water reservoir. Rinse with clean water before first use.
  3. Install Water Filter: Soak charcoal filter in water for 5 minutes, then insert into filter handle. Install in water reservoir.
  4. Initial Rinse: Fill reservoir with fresh water. Place a large mug on drip tray. Run a cleansing brew without a K-Cup pod.

Key Features

K-Cup Pod System

Brews over 400 varieties of coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and iced beverages using patented K-Cup pods. Each pod is sealed for freshness.

Multi-Stream Technology

Innovative needle design punctures the K-Cup pod in multiple places, saturating the grounds more evenly for full flavor extraction.

Strong Brew Option

Increases the strength and boldness of your coffee by slowing the brewing process, allowing more time for water to interact with grounds.

Iced Coffee Setting

Specialty setting brews coffee at a higher concentration over ice, preventing dilution while maintaining rich flavor.

Programmable Auto-Off

Energy-saving feature automatically turns off the brewer after 5 minutes to 2 hours (selectable) of inactivity.

Hot Water on Demand

Brew hot water without a pod for tea, oatmeal, soup, or other hot beverages and foods.
