KitchenAid 12-Cup Glass Carafe Coffee Maker Use & Care Manual

Remove the brew basket from the top 

of the Coffee Maker by grasping the 

locking handle on the basket.

Place the basket into the Coffee Maker 

and rotate the handle toward the front 

of the Coffee Maker to lock the brew 

basket in place. Be sure the brew basket 

lid is fully closed before brewing. 

 

 

TIP: The coffee filter can also be inserted and coffee grounds added without removing the 

brew basket from the Coffee Maker.

NOTE: Do not operate the Coffee Maker without the brew basket in place.

Insert a 10–12 cup flat bottom paper 

filter or the Gold Tone permanent filter 

into the brew basket. Do not use both 

types of filters at the same time. Using 

both filters might cause water and 

coffee to overflow the brew basket.

Fill the filter with one rounded 

tablespoon of ground coffee for each 

cup desired. Use a medium grind 

appropriate for automatic drip Coffee 

Makers. Too fine a grind will produce 

bitterness and may clog the coffee filter. 

Shake the brew basket slightly to even 

out the bed of coffee.
