Auto-Drip
1. Your coffee grinds should be ground to medium.
2. If you’d like to end up with 8 cups, add slightly more than 8 cups to account for the water that will be absorbed by the coffee.
3. Fill your coffee pot to a little over the “8” cup mark, usually located on the side of the pot.
4. Pour the water into the machine.
5. After placing the coffee filter into the basket, measure and add your coffee filter into the basket, measure, and add your coffee.
6. Press “brew.”
7. Most machines stop on their own, but if not when it sounds like the machine is “purring” the coffee is ready and you can switch the machine off.
* Each cup mark is 6 oz
