For more information, read the part "Cleaning the coffee maker" p13 of the manual. b) Using the coffee maker Open the reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the level corresponding to the desired number of cups of coffee. Do not exceed the maximum level of the reservoir. Open the basket support; place the paper filter in the filter basket. Corresponding to your taste put suitable coffee powder on the paper filter by spoon. We suggest one level tablespoonful of coffee per cup of coffee. Once you have used the coffee Maker several times, you will be able to adjust the amount of coffee according to your taste.  Place the thermos jug with its lid duly in place, onto the plate. The jug will open the anti-drip valve when placed correctly onto the plate; otherwise the filtered coffee will not pass into the jug and the filter may overflow.
