STEPS FOR BREWING COFFEE:
1. Place a paper filter into the brew cone. Pour ground coffee into the filter.
2. Slide the brew cone into place. When pushed in against the stop, the brew cone fits into the slide rails
and centers it under the sprayhead (see Figure 1. illustrating basic components).
3. Place a clean coffee decanter on the warmer plate.
CAUTION - Always use an empty decanter before starting a brew cycle.
4. To start brewing, push in the momentary brew switch, located on the front panel. The brew cycle will
take approximately three minutes to complete. To stop a brew cycle press the ON/OFF button.
CAUTION - Wait for hot coffee to stop dripping from brew cone before lifting decanter.
5. To stop a brew cycle press the ON/OFF button.
The Alpha coffee brewer will produce excellent results using most grades of
coffee available from your coffee distributor. Coffee suppliers can provide coffee
in convenient pre-measured envelopes.
The Alpha coffee brewer is designed for ground coffee; Freeze Dried or Liquid
coffee products will not work.
The Wilbur Curtis Company manufactures bulk coffee dispensers (Models
MCD-7 or MCD-7G) that consistently dispense ground coffee in selected
amounts.

1. Connect a ¼" copper water line from your facility to the ¼" flare water inlet fitting on the valve, behind
the machine. Water pressure going to the machine must be stable. Use a water regulator to maintain
constant pressure. This brewer works perfectly when water pressures are from 20 to 90 psi.
2. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet rated at 20A.
3. Turn on the toggle switch behind the unit. The heating tank will start to fill. When the water reaches the
probe, the heating element will turn on automatically.
4. The heating tank will require 20 to 30 minutes to reach operating temperature (200ºF). The READY TO
BREW indicator will light at this time.
5. When water reaches operating temperature, dispense about 12 ounces of hot water through the hot
water faucet to lower the water level in the heating tank. You can also dispense only enough water to
activate the liquid level control.
