GETTING STARTED
Unpack your Coffeemaker
- Unpack your coffeemaker and remove plastic bags, cartons, and any tape
on the unit.
WARNING: KEEP PLASTIC BAGS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Clean the Coffeemaker Before Use
Just follow these simple steps:
- Wash the carafe lid and the brew basket in a mixture of mild detergent and water. Rinse each thoroughly.
- Replace all the parts and close the lid. Then, run a brew cycle by adding only water to the coffeemaker. After adding water, switch the coffeemaker on.
- When brewing is complete, turn your coffeemaker off. Turn your coffeemaker off by flipping the switch to the off position.
- Discard the water in the carafe and rinse the carafe, carafe lid, and brew basket.
NOTE: Carafe, brew basket is top-rack dishwasher safe. Water Filtration System is NOT!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE
Suggested Coffee Measurement Chart:
Using fine coffee or decaf may cause overflow.
- Fill the carafe with fresh cold water to the desired level. 1 Mr. Coffee “cup” is equivalent to 5 fluid ounces. Pour into Water Reservoir.
NOTE: Some water will be absorbed into the coffee grounds and water filter during the brewing process. - Insert and line the brew basket with a standard basket-style paper filter (sold separately) or reusable filter (if included).
- Referencing the chart above, scoop the equivalent amount of coffee grounds into the filter using a tablespoon.
- You are ready to switch your coffeemaker on.
- Once finished using the coffeemaker please flip the switch to off.
- Enjoy consistently fresh coffee every time!
WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM
The Mr. Coffee® carbon-based water filter (sold separately, unless included) helps remove up to 97% of the chlorine from the water and improves the taste of your coffee. To use the water filtration system in your Mr. Coffee® coffeemaker, please follow these steps:
- Align the red indicator on the frame to the letter that corresponds with the month that you are using the disk for the first time. This serves to remind you to change the disk every month (approx. 50 brewing cycles). To change the disk, remove the used disk, and insert a new disk into the frame.
NOTE: For optimum results, use the water filtration system with a permanent filter. - Rinse the water filter in freshwater before use.
- Follow the Adding Water and Coffee Instructions.
- Position the filter on top of the brew basket, and brew according to your particular model’s brewing instructions.
- When you are done brewing your coffee, rinse the water filter with fresh water. Do not put your water filter in the dishwasher.
HOW TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP
Paper Filters vs. Reusable Filters
- PAPER FILTERS: To achieve a smoother, less bitter cup of coffee, use a paper filter. It will be most effective in trapping bitter sediments.
- REUSABLE FILTERS: For a more robust and full taste, use a reusable filter. It will allow the coffee’s full flavor to fill your cup. Reusable filters have tiny holes that allow rich coffee oils to brew through.
COFFEEMAKER EXTRAS
(not included with all models)
- Water
While it may not seem like an important ingredient, coffee is 98 percent water. The type of water that you brew with greatly affects the final taste. Always use clean, fresh water that is filtered and free of impurities – avoid soft water or well water. Please refer to the “Water Filtration” section to learn more about how your coffeemaker reduces impurities in water. - Cleanliness
A clean coffeemaker is essential to brewing great-tasting coffee every time.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Daily Cleaning
CAUTION: Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and has cooled completely before cleaning.
- Remove the brew basket, filter, carafe, carafe lid, and wash them in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap, and dry thoroughly. You can also place it in the dishwasher; top-rack only.
Decalcifying your MR. COFFEE® SC05 Series Coffeemaker

coffeemaker and affect its performance. It’s recommended that you regularly
remove these deposits using vinegar.
