Frequently Asked Questions - The Scoop 49981 HAMILTON BEACH

How to use the Regular and Bold settings?

Press the REGULAR button for a standard brew or BOLD for a stronger coffee. The BOLD setting uses less water and a slower flow rate for better extraction. Use BOLD for flavored, decaffeinated, finely ground, or premium coffees like Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts.

Why does my coffee overflow from the filter basket?

Overflow may be due to too fine a grind or too much ground coffee. Try using the BOLD setting or reduce the amount of coffee. Be careful not to exceed the MAX fill line on the Scoop filter.

How to clean the machine?

Clean the Scoop filter after each use with soapy water. Descale the machine once a month (or weekly in hard water areas) by pouring 125 ml of white vinegar and 125 ml of water into the reservoir, then start a brew cycle. Let it sit for 30 minutes, finish the cycle, and rinse with 2 to 3 cycles of fresh water.

What to do if the machine does not brew and the indicator light flashes?

The light flashes for 5 seconds if the water reservoir is empty. Fill with water to the desired level (between 250 ml and 410 ml) and press the brew button again.

How to get hotter coffee?

Rinse the cup or mug with hot water before brewing to preheat the container. This helps maintain the coffee temperature longer.

Can I use coffee pods?

No, this appliance is designed only for ground coffee. Do not use pods, as this could damage the machine.

How much water should I use?

The reservoir has two levels: a minimum of 250 ml (8 oz) and a maximum of 410 ml (14 oz). Use the same cup to fill the reservoir and collect the coffee to avoid overflows.

How to descale the machine?

Pour 125 ml of white vinegar and 125 ml of cold water into the reservoir. Press REGULAR or BOLD; the machine stops after 30 seconds. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then plug it in to finish the cycle. Rinse with 2 to 3 cycles of fresh water.

Does the machine shut off automatically?

Yes, the coffee maker turns off automatically at the end of the brew cycle. You can also interrupt brewing by pressing the REGULAR or BOLD button during the cycle.

Where can I order replacement parts?

To order parts or accessories, call 1.800.851.8900 (U.S.), 1.800.267.2826 (Canada), or 01.800.71.16.100 (Mexico), or visit www.hamiltonbeach.ca.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Scoop coffee grounds directly into the Scoop filter provided, using the measurement instructions shown above. Or, if you prefer to use a traditional coffee scoop method, measure coffee in the following way:

8-oz. cup = 2 tablespoons ground coffee
14-oz. cup = 3 tablespoons ground coffee

To get the perfect taste you prefer, adjust measurements up or down accordingly.

Use the BOLD setting for flavored, decaf, finely ground, and premium brand ground coffees such as Starbucks* and Dunkin' Donuts.

Press REGULAR or BOLD to begin flow of coffee. Coffeemaker will

automatically shut off when brewing is complete. To stop brewing midcycle, press either button and the unit will turn off.

NOTE: If there is no water in the water reservoir, and a brew button is pushed, the unit will not brew. The LED light will blink for 5 seconds, then turn coffeemaker OFF (O).

Using the Regular and Bold Settings

• This unit uses ground coffee ONLY. It is NOT intended for use with coffee "pods."
• Use the BOLDsetting when a stronger cup of coffee is desired.
  Use the BOLDsetting for flavored, decaf, finely ground, and premium brand ground coffees such as Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts.

• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
• If overflow occurs, first try switching the unit to the BOLD setting, OR use slightly less grounds. The BOLD setting dispenses water at a slower rate, allowing more contact time and better coffee extraction from the coffee.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying foreground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.

Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
- Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield better-tasting coffee than tap water.
- Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning" section.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Shock Hazard.

Do not immerse cord, plug, or coffeemaker in any liquid.

All coffeemakers should be cleaned at least once a month (once a week for areas with hard water).

Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of plain white vinegar and 1/2 cup (125 ml) of cold water into reservoir.

Press the REGULAR or BOLD button once. After 30 seconds, turn unit OFF (O) using the REGULAR or BOLD button and allow vinegar to clean. After 30 minutes, plug in unit and allow it to finish the brew cycle. When brew cycle is finished, wait for unit to cool. Empty cup and rinse.

Replace accessories. Run two to three cycles of cold tap water. The unit is now cleaned and ready to make coffee.

Discard grounds after each use. Rinse and/or clean with soapy water. Towel dry or hang dry on brew basket holder.

NOTE: The Scoop™ brew basket should be cleaned daily, and the filter holder should be cleaned at least once a week.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM

Coffee tastes bad.

Water on counter under unit.

Coffeemaker will not brew and LED light is blinking.

Weak coffee.

Coffee overflows from brew basket.

Coffee overflows from mug or travel mug.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
• Overfilled water reservoir. Also check cup used to fill reservoir. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can dribble water down the side of the cup and onto counter.
• Add water. If there is no water in the water reservoir and a brew button is pushed, the unit will not brew.
• First, try brewing using the BOLD setting. If coffee is still too weak, adjust water/coffee ratio by using slightly less water and/or more grounds. Be careful to not exceed the MAX line for grounds.
• Use a lesser amount of ground coffee.
• Use the BOLD setting for flavored, finely ground, premium brand ground coffees, and decaf coffees.
• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
• To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, ensure the SAME cup into which coffee will be brewed is also used to fill the water reservoir.
