DeLonghi DC87T Series, Instruction Manual

FILLING THE WATER TANK:

5.

Open the hinged lid of the water tank, located on top of the coffee maker.

6.

Fill the tank with the desired amount of cold water.  The water level must be

between the top and bottom cup marks.  

NOTE:

 Do not fill above the MAX level.

7.

Always use cold water.

NOTE: 

The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process is complete will

always be slightly less than the amount of water placed in the coffee maker’s water

tank, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and filter.  Add a little

extra water at the beginning so that you have the exact number of cups desired.

PREPARING THE  COFFEE:

8.

Open the filter holder door by pressing the “OPEN” button on the top of the

machine.  Swing the filter holder door to the left.  Be sure the filter basket and

filter are properly positioned inside the filter holder.  The permanent gold-tone

filter (included) may be used instead of or in addition to a paper filter (not

included).  If using paper filters, insert a #4 cone-shaped filter into the filter

basket before filling with coffee.

9.

Place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter.  According to coffee

industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of

grounds for each cup/mug of water.  After using your coffee maker several

times, the amount of coffee may be adjusted to suit your particular taste by

decreasing or increasing the amount of coffee used.  

NOTE: 

Be sure to use

coffee grounds prepared specifically for use with automatic drip coffee makers.

PREPARING COFFEE MAKER FOR BREWING COFFEE:
