Brewing Guide

For best results with your K-Cup pods.

1. Always use fresh, cold water. Do not use distilled, sparkling, or previously boiled water.
2. For stronger coffee, use the SMALL cup setting (6 oz.) or use a dark roast K-Cup pod.
3. Pre-warm your mug by rinsing it with hot water before brewing.
4. Ensure the handle is fully closed before pressing BREW.
5. To stop brewing mid-cycle, press the BREW button again.
6. For hot water (e.g., tea, oatmeal), run a brew cycle without a K-Cup pod.

Tip: Experiment with brew sizes to find your perfect strength for different pod varieties.
