PREPARING DRIP COFFEE

• Position the permanent platinum filter or the paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 10). • Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 11). According to coffee industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of coffee grounds for each six ounces of water. The quantity of ground coffee used may, however, be varied according to personal taste. Use good quality, medium ground coffee for drip coffee machines.
