The reservoir has two fill lines: a MIN line and a MAX line. Keep the water level between these lines as often as possible for efficient brewing.
Place the mug (preferably one that holds 15 ounces or more) underneath the pour-spout. Choose the largest size (15 oz. ), unless the user manual indicates otherwise. Do not add coffee. Allow only hot water to pour into the cup.
Remove your coffee pod, if needed, from your machine. Plug your machine into a wall outlet. Run your machine until the reservoir is empty. Make sure there is a mug, cup, or other heat-resistant container under the spout so it can catch the water. Empty the cup as often as needed. When finished, fill the reservoir with water only, and repeat this step one to two more times.
