How It Works
Coffee Maker
The kitchen has a Keurig K-Duo Essentials — it brews both a single cup and a full carafe.
Brew a single cup
- Fill the water reservoir with fresh water up to the MAX FILL line.
- Place a mug on the drip tray, lift the handle and place a K-Cup pod in the holder. Lower the handle completely.
- Press the OZ button and toggle to the desired brew size, then press the BREW button.
- Lift the handle and dispose of the used K-Cup pod.
Brew a carafe
- Fill the water reservoir to the MAX FILL line and place the carafe on the heating plate.
- Insert a flat-bottom, 12-cup paper filter into the basket and add ground coffee (about 1 tablespoon per cup).
- Press the CUPS button and toggle to the desired size, then press the BREW button.
- The heating plate stays on for 2 hours after brewing. Press and hold the CUPS button for 3 seconds to turn it off earlier.
Good to know
- The brewer turns off automatically 5 minutes after the last brew — press any button to wake it up.
- Press the STRONG button after selecting a single-serve size for a bolder cup.
- Please do not put any parts in the dishwasher — they are hand-wash only.
- Please rinse the carafe and filter basket after use.
