Fill urn to desired water level. You
must brew a minimum of 12 cups.
Do not fill beyond 42-cup line.
Wet
coffee basket
(to help keep
small particles of ground coffee
from sifting through).
NOTE: We recommend using coffee
that has been ground specifically for
use in a percolator-type coffeemaker.
However, coffee marked “For All
Coffeemakers” is acceptable. If using
a coffee grinder and whole beans,
percolator coffee should be a coarse
grind. Finely ground coffee may
cause the basket to overflow and
result in grounds in the coffee.
