Important Things You Should Know  
The SPEEDBREW™ coffeemaker is designed to remain plugged in at all times  
(except during draining and extended periods of non-use). Brewing begins after  
water is poured into the water reservoir.  
A Reservoir Power Switch (ON/OFF switch) is located on the lower left side to com-  
pletely shut off all electrical components when your plans take you away from home  
for several days or when your coffeemaker will not be in use for an extended period.  
Your SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker has safety features which make the daily use of  
this switch unnecessary.  
Whenever the SPEEDBREW ™ Reservoir Power Switch has been turned OFF, or  
the unit unplugged, allow the water in the tank to heat to the proper temperature  
before using. (This will take approximately 15 minutes after the Reservoir Power  
Switch has been turned on).  
Your SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker unit has an especially designed water reservoir  
to keep the water at the proper temperature. This constant supply of hot water  
allows you to brew regular coffee in about 3 minutes.  
When a pitcher of cold water is poured into the water reservoir, the cold water enters  
the internal tank and pushes out hot water to start the brewing process. This cold  
water is then heated to the proper temperature and stored until the next brew cycle is  
started. Make sure the decanter is on the warmer plate before water is added.  
Brewed coffee flows into the decanter where it is kept at serving temperature by the  
warmer plate. The warmer plate is controlled by the ON/OFF switch located above  
the brew basket. NOTE: The Warmer Plate Switch only controls the decanter  
warmer. The warmer plate switch should be turned off when the decanter is empty  
or the coffeemaker is not in use. (For the Warmer Plate Switch to operate, the  
Reservoir Power Switch must be on.)  
The decanter lid reduces coffee evaporation and heat loss. Always place the lid  
on the decanter when brewing coffee.  
The two position Regular/Decaffeinated Brew Control Dial is located behind the  
water reservoir lid. This allows for proper brewing of regular or decaffeinated coffee.  
Decaffeinated coffee takes longer to brew than regular coffee.  
WARNING: To avoid risk of scalding or other injury, do not move your  
SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker once you have filled the water reservoir.

IMPORTANT  
Before Using Your SPEEDBREW™ Coffeemaker the First Time  
Wash decanter,decanter lid and removable brewer basket in mild detergent and water.  
Rinse each thoroughly.  
Prepare Your Coffeemaker Before First Use  
NOTE:To avoid the risk of damage to coffeemaker, do  
not plug in your SPEEDBREW™ coffeemaker until you  
complete these steps.  
1.Raise the water reservoir lid. (see Figure 1)  
2.Turn the brew control dial to “regular”. Using the provided  
pitcher, pour one full pitcher of water into the water reservoir  
area on top of the SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker. Close  
the lid and wait three minutes. (see Figure 2) NOTE: Do  
not fill the water reservoir with any liquid other than cold  
water (or white household vinegar for cleaning - see  
“Routine Cleaning” on page 8)..  
Figure 1  
3.Place the decanter on the warmer plate. Open the lid. Pour a  
second full pitcher of water into the water reservoir. The water  
will flow into the internal tank. When the water reservoir is full,  
a small amount of water will flow into the decanter. NOTE: To  
avoid overfilling the water reservoir, you must wait three  
minutes before adding the second pitcher of water.  
4. When the flow of water into the decanter stops, empty the  
decanter.  
5. To flush out the machine for first use, repeat steps 3 and 4  
two additional times.  
Figure 2  
6. Place the empty decanter onto the warmer plate.  
7. Now you may plug your SPEEDBREW™ coffeemaker into  
a 120V, AC outlet.  
8. Press the Reservoir Power Switch located on the lower  
left side of the SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker to ON. (see  
Figure 3) Wait at least fifteen minutes for the water in the  
internal tank to reach the ideal brewing temperature. Follow  
the “Brewing Coffee” instructions on page 7 to brew a perfect  
pot of coffee.  
Figure 3

Brewing Coffee  
1. Slide the brew basket open and insert a Mr. Coffee® 8-12 cup  
paper basket filter into the brew basket.  
2. Add desired amount of coffee according to the coffee  
measurement chart found below. Shake lightly to level coffee.  
If decaffeinated coffee is used, then turn the brew control dial  
to “Decaffeinated” (see Brew Control Dial – Decaffeinated  
Coffee on page 8).  
Figure 5  
3. Be sure the paper filter is properly centered before sliding the  
brew basket into place.  
4. Place the decanter on the warmer plate. Turn ON the warmer  
plate switch located on the front of the machine. (see  
Figure 5). This will keep your coffee warm when it has  
finished brewing.  
5. Raise the water reservoir lid. Fill the pitcher with cold tap  
water. (1 cup equals 5 ounces) Pour the water from the  
pitcher into the water reservoir. NOTE: Do not fill the water  
reservoir with any liquid other than cold water (or white house-  
hold vinegar for cleaning - see “Routinge Cleaning” on page 8).  
Figure 6  
6. Close the water reservoir lid. Your SPEEDBREW ™  
coffeemaker will begin brewing coffee as soon as the water is added. (see Figure 6)  
After initial start up, you can brew 10 cups of regular coffee in about 3 minutes.  
CAUTION: The SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker will begin to brew as soon as  
water is added.  
7. To insure proper brewing temperature please wait at least 10 minutes before  
brewing your next pot of coffee. This will allow the water to heat to proper brewing  
temperature. Attempting to brew faster than this may result in cold coffee.  
WARNING  
To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to property, be sure that the  
brew basket is securely in place and that the decanter is centered under the  
brew basket before the brewing begins.  
WARNING  
BREWED COFFEE AND GROUNDS, BOTH IN THE BREW BASKET AND  
DECANTER, ARE VERY HOT. HANDLE WITH CARE TO AVOID SCALDING. IF  
THE BREW BASKET OVERFLOWS, OR IF THE BREW BASKET FAILS TO  
DRAIN INTO THE DECANTER DURING THE BREW CYCLE, DO NOT OPEN OR  
HANDLE THE BASKET. RAISE THE RESERVOIR LID, UNPLUG THE COF-  
FEEMAKER, AND WAIT FOR CONTENTS TO COOL BEFORE HANDLING.  
SUGGESTED COFFEE MEASUREMENT  
For the best results, use drip grind recommended for automatic drip coffeemakers.

Brew Control Dial - Decaffeinated Coffee  
Your Mr. Coffee SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker comes with a special feature that allows  
you to brew a perfect decanter of decaffeinated coffee. Just turn the brew control dial to  
“decaffeinated”. This feature allows for the additional time needed when brewing decaf-  
feinated coffee. Please note that only decaffeinated coffee should be used when your  
brew control dial is in this position. Caution: To avoid overflowing the brew basket do not  
use decaffeinated coffee unless the brew control dial is on the decaffeinated setting.  
To Get Hot Water Only  
The same steps listed on page 7 under “Brewing Coffee” can be used to obtain hot water.  
Keep the brew basket in place and omit the filter and coffee. NOTE: This water is hotter  
than the water from your faucet and must be handled with care.  
Draining the Water Reservoir  
The water reservoir in your Mr. Coffee SPEEDBREW ™ coffeemaker should be emptied  
whenever the coffeemaker will be moved, shipped, or stored. Please follow these steps:  
1. Turn Reservoir Power Switch OFF, unplug the SPEEDBREW ™ power cord and  
allow the hot water to cool in the tank. Place the empty decanter on the warmer  
plate. Pour a full pitcher of COLD water  
Figure 1  
into the water reservoir. Close the lid and  
wait for the water to stop flowing from the  
brew basket. Empty the decanter and  
repeat. This will cool the water in the water  
reservoir.  
2. Remove the brew basket. Grasp the back  
of the SPEEDBREW™ coffeemaker and  
tip the unit forward over a sink as far as  
possible. Most of the water in the water  
reservoir will flow from the shower head.  
Continue tipping the coffeemaker until the  
flow of water stops. (see figure 1)

Routine Cleaning  
The decanter and brew basket should be rinsed after each use. NOTE: The decanter,  
decanter lid, and brew basket are top-rack dishwasher safe ONLY. The outside of  
the coffeemaker, including the area above the brew basket, can be wiped with a damp  
cloth. Do not immerse the coffeemaker.  
In addition, your coffeemaker must be cleaned when you begin to notice excessive  
steaming or the brewing time increases considerably. This condition is caused by a  
buildup of lime and mineral deposits from your water. It is recommended that you clean  
your coffeemaker once a month. To clean your Mr. Coffee® Speedbrew™ coffeemaker  
follow the steps listed below.  
1. Place a paper filter into the brew basket.  
2. Place the decanter onto the Warmer.  
3. Pour one full pitcher of undiluted white household vinegar into the Water  
Reservoir. NOTE: Do not use any other cleaning products in your  
Speedbrew™ coffeemaker. Hot water will flow into the decanter (Do not turn on  
the Warmer Plate Switch. The Reservoir Power Switch should remain ON).  
4. Let the unit sit for 2 hours. This will allow the vinegar to break down the lime and  
mineral deposits.  
5. After 2 hours, empty the decanter and return to warmer plate.  
6. Pour a full pitcher of water into the Water Reservoir. (The water/vinegar mixture  
will flow into the decanter.)  
7. Empty the decanter and repeat Step 5 and 6 an additional six (6) times. This will  
ensure that all the vinegar will be flushed out of the internal tank.  
8. Remove the paper filter from the brew basket and discard.  
9. After cleaning, wait at least 15 minutes before brewing your next pot of coffee.  
This will allow the water in the internal tank to heat to the proper brewing temperature.  
Decanter Cleaning  
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the decanter. Coffee can discolor  
these deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the decanter. To remove these  
stains, follow these simple steps:  
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.  
2. Let solution stand in decanter for about 20 minutes and then discard.  
3. Wash and rinse the decanter thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh  
abrasive cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
