How do I make coffee in it? We lost our instructions

For each 8 oz of hot water use 1 Tbsp of course ground coffee. I like to add an extra Tbsp to the pot and I let it steep for about 5 - 7 minutes. Then plunge the screen down. If you let some sit in the pot, it will continue to steep and may get bitter. I like to pour the extra into a pyrex cup to prevent it from over brewing. I've been using this press for 10 years and it is still working great.

I don't drink coffee my husband does. He likes his coffee very strong so he covers the bottom with his coffee about a fourth to half inch with coffee he pours hot water almost to top leaving room for the top he sets on with out pressing down. He waits ten to fifteen minutes and presses and drinks it down.This is his favorite way to make coffee. The man seems to know his coffee. GOOD LUCK!!!

I drink 2 8oz. cups in the am. I like it strong. I grind my beans on medium and use about 1/2 cup. I fill my mug (2 cup) with very hot water and add it to the medium ground coffee (recommended for French press coffee) in the press. It steeps for 5-10 min. Then I slowly push the plunger down, close the strainer at the bottom and slowly pour the coffee into my mug. Be sure to turn the solid part of the lid to the opposite side. ENJOY>

Put desired ground coffee into bottom of glass canister with press apparatus out. Pour desired amount of very hot water into canister. Then insert press apparatus and gently press it down until it gets to the bottom trapping the ground below and the filtered beverage above.I hate this device and no longer use it. There are no markings to guide how much water to add.

You need to add the coffee after it brews. This machine does not combine steamed milk w coffee or espresso at the same time

OKAY this is what he said: I took the coffe machine apart. Some of the tubes were a bit trickey to get to and to get back on but it was fun to figure out. The top of the machine is where the hot watter bubbles up and then is dispursed into the coffee drip area. The cover the directed the bubbles from up to over just snapped into place. There is a grove to help seal this cover but ours did seal right. I removed the cover, put a thin line of silicone sealant in the groove and re-installed the cover. I let it dry for a few days so no silicone would seep into the bubbles then into the coffee. It seems to be working. OKAY this is what he said: I took the coffe machine apart.

I searched the internet for "CBTL Reusable Capsules" and found nothing but an article titled "How to refill and recycle our CBTL Gaggia Caffitaly capsules for other brew brands". It had instructions and pictures that seemed helpful from the comments of people who tried it. Basically, you're deconstructing the pre-loaded filter after it's been used and replacing the coffee and foil top. Make sure you don't pack too much coffee in or the water can't go thru. Maybe dump the grounds out of a pod to get an idea of how much to refill with.

It's not that complicated. You put coffee in it and pour hot water in it and coffee drips out the bottom. It will make any kind of coffee you put in it.

Open top cover; remove basket for grounds & put amount of grounds in for how much coffee you want to brew. Put water in brew station and pour water in back up to the pointswhere it tells you how many cups; put cover back on and press on/off button on top left side. The brew station buzzes when coffee is done; place cup in front and just press inon lever in front for coffee to come out. I'll be happy to answer any other questions. Hope this helps!

First use cold 2% milk. Second fill the container about halfway. Third put the cover on securely. Fourth take the plunger in the center with your right hand and hold the pitcher with your left on the top. Fifth take the plunger and move it vigorously up and down rapidly for anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds. Six remove the cover. Seven pour over your coffee. Eighth stir some of it into your coffee and enjoy.

You might do better by putting it in a vacuum container and refrigerating it.. http://www.amazon.com/Vacu-Vin-Coffee-Saver-Starter/dp/B000XR2GMK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1396205165&sr=8-7&keywords=vacuvin

you have to be sure that you are not over packing the coffee grind into the basket. Clean and use the pin to make sure you have a clear hold for water to pass. Before brewing place basket into place as if to brew a shot and just run water through to make sure it works. Repeat this process until it works. Also the baskets do come apart with a screw driver. be sure to take apart clean and reassemble.

I've seen a number of suggestions here for how to use your own ground coffee. This is what I do though...I buy the empty "tea" bags (they are quite cheap) and put my coffee in them. They have drawstrings and really work well. Simply put however much coffee you want into one, pull the string, turn the bag onto its side and give it a little shake so the grounds aren't in one lump right in the middle, put the bag (on its side) into the little brew basket, and you are set to go. I take a few minutes each weekend and make up a bunch of them and put them into an air-tight canister and I'm good to go. Easy.

1) Be sure to use coarsely ground coffee - either grind it yourself or in the store but it must be coarse - not the relatively find grind in pre ground coffee in tins 2) I suspect you can find a manual online (it is quite brief) if you cannot find it I will scan and pdf the 3 important pages and send them

Rebecca, Use the scoop to measure your ground coffee and put it in the small basket. Behind the basket is a small open tank and that's where you put your water. I just use my own measuring Tablespoon and follow the amounts given on my coffee can (Folgers regular coffee + 1Tablespoon coffee grounds per 6 oz water. Then flip the red button and it will light up so you know its on. It wont do anything for several seconds but then you'll hear it start to brew. When its done brewing you have to flip the switch back to the off position. It will not turn off by itself. Don't leave it on as it could be a fire hazard if left long enough. After using it for awhile if the brewing gets slow you can brew a cup of half white vinegar and half water (no coffee.) Let half of the vinegar-water brew and shut off the machine. Let it sit a few hours or overnight. Then turn the machine back on and let the other half of the vinegar-water brew all the way. Then shut it off to cool a little. Then run a cup of plain water all the way through. Repeat the plain water brewing until it doesn't smell like vinegar anymore (usually just 2 brewing cycles.) It will run like new again after you do that. Doesn't need it very often. I adore my Caf Uno and hope you enjoy yours.

I don't know. I make the coffee in my Mr. Coffee and then pour it in the carafe. My Cuisinart is long gone.

Deborah: Remove the lid and plunger....add 1 heaping dessert spoon of ground coffee per normal sized cup. Make sure it is the right grind for the press (usually that info is found on the coffee packaging). Add boiling water to the beaker BUT..Don't fill to top. Stir with plastic or wooden spoon. Replace plunger and the lid and let stand for approximately 4 minutes. Push the plunger down SLOWLY to the bottom of the beaker and serve coffee immediately. Enjoy.

no instructions for Microwave. Cooks fast on top of stove though. Boil water, dump in, stir, cover. Need not more than 5 minutes while you make the coffee. Try Bob's 10 Grain. That you can cook in microwave. I mix them.
