BREWING COFFEE USING A K-Cup CAPSULE
Place base on a dry, level and heat-resistant surface and heat water to just below boil-ing temperature (about 200°F).
DO NOT POUR BOILING WATER INTO THE RESERVOIR.
MANUFACTURER'S TIPS

1. The plunger can also be used as a storage compartment for up to 3  K-Cup capsules.
2. Different brands of capsules will affect the length of time and pressure needed to brew your coffee.
3. Adjust the flavor of your coffee by applying different pressure and length of time to complete your coffee.

USING THE K-CUP MANUAL COFFEE PRESS

1. Place a cup in the base large enough to hold the desired amount of coffee and insert a K-Cup capsule into the capsule holder.  
   NOTE: Never remove or puncture the foil top of the K-Cup capsule before inserting into the holder.
2. Place the water reservoir in the base and press down firmly to pierce the K-Cup capsule.
3. Pour hot water into the water reservoir to your desired coffee level: 6, 8 or 10 oz.
4. Place the plunger into the water reservoir and use firm, even pressure for 20-30 seconds until water is pushed through completely.  Do not push too fast to avoid splattering water and possibly causing burns.
5. Wait a few seconds for coffee to complete dripping and enjoy

NOTE: DO NOT PULL OUT PLUNGER WITH WATER STILL IN THE RESERVOIR.
