Good quality water is vital to the
brewing of good coffee, so it is
important to follow these
recommendations when using your
KitchenAid

®

Compact Coffee Maker:

• Use fresh tap water or filtered water

only; distilled or spring/mineral water
is NOT recommended. 

• Remove calcium build-up from your

coffee maker regularly. 

BEFORE USING YOUR 
COFFEE MAKER 

Before using, rinse the coffee maker by
running it through a cycle with water
only.  Wash all removable parts in hot,
soapy water; rinse with clean hot water
and dry.  (All removable parts are
dishwasher safe.) 

TO MAKE COFFEE 

1. Plug in the coffee maker. 
2. Remove the Carafe from the 

Warming Plate. 

3. Open the Water Tank Lid. 
4. Using the Carafe filled with fresh,

cool water, fill the Water Tank with

the amount of water needed for the
amount of coffee you wish to make.
DO NOT fill to a level higher than
the top marking on the Water Tank.  

5. Swing the Filter Holder out of the

coffee maker.  Place a paper filter in
the Filter Holder.  Use a #2 cone
shape filter.

6. Fill the filter with one rounded

scoop of medium to coarse ground
coffee for each cup you are making,
using the included scoop. Use more
coffee for a stronger brew, less for
weaker.

7. Swing the Filter Holder back into

the coffee maker until it clicks into
closed position.  

8. Place the Carafe on the Warming

Plate.  Make sure the Carafe Lid is
in position on the Carafe. 

9. Switch the coffee maker ON; the

ON/OFF  Light will come on.  (If
you remove the Carafe from the
Warming Plate during brewing, the
Automatic Pause & Pour Valve will
prevent liquid from dripping on the
Warming Plate.  NOTE:  The Lid
must be in place on the Carafe for
the Automatic Pause & Pour Valve 
to operate.)
