If you’re using the included charcoal filters, soak them in cold water for 15 minutes. Remove the water filter holders from the single serve side and the 12 cup side. Put the filter into the holder and snap to close. Run this under water for 10 seconds and drain. Slide the filter holders back. It is recommended to change the filter every 60 days or after 60 uses. I’m using filtered water so I won’t be using these filters.
When you first get the unit, run a one time cleaning. Put the filter in if you're using it. Fill the water reservoir. Plug it in. Lift up and close the brew head. Don’t put a pod in here, we just want water. Put a mug on the drip tray, press the pod button and choose 10 oz. Press the brew button and discard the water. For the 12 cup side, fill the water reservoir. Put the carafe on the plate. Turn the knob to brew and press the brew button. When brewing is finished, discard the water. Now we can make coffee.
To brew on the 12 cup side, put the permanent filter into the basket or you can use a #4 paper filter. 1 tablespoon which is a level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Even if you like really strong coffee, don’t put more than 15 tablespoons of coffee in the filter, it might overflow. Don’t use very finely ground coffee, a medium fine grind is best. I’ll brew 6 cups so I’m using 6 scoops of ground coffee. Turn the knob to brew. You can press the bold button if you want. Press carafe and then brew/off. You can remove the carafe while it’s brewing to pour a cup of coffee. Make sure to put it back within 30 seconds though or it could overflow. The coffee will stop flowing. You’ll hear five beeps when brewing is finished.
To brew on the single serve side, add water to the reservoir. Put a mug on the tray, lift up the brew head, there is a sharp needle on top and one on the bottom so don’t put your fingers in here. put a coffee pod in, press it down, close the brew head. press the pod button, press it again to choose the brew size. I’ll choose 8 oz. Earlier, I brewed 8 oz of the same coffee in a Keurig so I want to compare the taste. Press the brew/off button.
To use the reusable capsule, fill the filter basket with ground coffee, there is a max fill line which holds up to 15 grams or 2.5 scoops.
Lift the brew head and remove the pod holder, pull it toward you, put the reusable cup in. Close the head, press pod, pod again to choose 8oz, press brew.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who could not figure out how to use the pod side. Thank you all for helping out

Hi! We recently bought one of these and we were so excited about getting it. It seems almost every time we use it we have problems with exploding k cups and it either makes a mess in the machine or makes a mess in the cup. We've used off brand and Keurig brand. Has anyone ever had any problems with this and does anyone have any idea how to correct it?
