Instead, it comes with a mesh scoop filter that gives users the choice of any flavor (caramel, hazelnut, vanilla, etc), any brand and any strength (Regular or Bold) pleasing to their taste.Whether you decide to go with a mainstream brand coffee or stronger premium-brand coffee, you need a machine that understands and quickly adapts. Use the REGULAR setting for a quick basic, automatic drip coffee, or get an upgrade and choose BOLD for more fine grinds, decaf or stronger flavors premium-brand coffee.Not sure how much coffee to add when brewing? No worries, each scoop filter is labeled with two measuring lines for exact serving amounts. And more isn't necessarily better, in this case. Overfilling the scoop doesn't allow room for brewing and water can overflow and spill over, ultimately meaning weaker coffee. Adjusting the Cup Size Before brewing, adjust the L-shaped cup rest to make sure your cup is as close to the dispensing nozzle as possible. For travel mugs, fit the cup rest against the coffeemaker and place your mug on top of the drip tray.Unlike leading coffeemakers with confusing attachments and high-tech buttons, The Scoop Coffeemaker has only three removable parts: a scoop filter, a secondary filter and a cup rest — and all are dishwasher safe. For consistent trouble-free maintenance, it should be cleaned internally once a month, by pouring one half cup plain white vinegar and half cup cold water into the water reservoir, brewing and then running 2 to 3 cycles of cold tap water before making coffee.
