Unpack and Inspect

Carefully unpack the Hamilton Beach 2-Way Brewer Coffee Maker and inspect for any visible damage. Check that all components are present and in good condition. Verify the coffee maker’s parts are intact before proceeding.

Fill Water Reservoir

Close the lid securely by pressing it down firmly until you hear a click, ensuring it is properly sealed.
Examples:
- Step 1: Lift the water reservoir lid upwards until it is fully open.
- Step 2: Carefully pour water into the reservoir up to the marked fill line.
- Step 3: Press the lid down firmly until it clicks into place to secure it.

Insert Coffee Filter

Place a coffee filter in the filter basket. Add ground coffee according to your preference. Close the filter basket to secure the coffee filter and grounds in place. Make sure the filter is centered and that the coffee grounds are evenly distributed for optimal brewing.

Choose Brewing Option

To select your preferred brewing option, press the “Brew Size” button on the control panel of the coffee maker. Use the up and down arrows to choose between a single cup or a full pot. Once your desired brewing option is displayed on the screen, press the “Brew” button to start the brewing process.

Choose “Regular” for a milder taste or “Bold” for a stronger coffee flavor, depending on your preference. Experiment with the settings to find the perfect brewing strength for your ideal cup of coffee.
