leading coffeehouses. Pressure brewing creates a perfectly balanced cup of coffee by forcing a
precise amount of water through the coffee pod consistently producing a high quality single serving of
coffee in about a minute.

Holder for use with Lattes, Cappuccinos and Mochas. Make sure to keep it in a safe place for future
use. Go to home-cafe.com for more information or call 1-800-HOME CAFE.

cup, mug or travel mug.

Two-Sided Pod Holder to achieve a stronger beverage.

7 oz. or
9 oz. mug size.
❍ Removable Water Reservoir – Allows you to brew multiple cups of coffee without refilling the
reservoir. Removable for easy cleaning.

Your Home Café™ coffeemaker has been designed to use versatile, pre-packed, Folgers
pods to brew coffee. Pods contain pre-measured amounts of coffee grounds packed in filter paper, with
the added convenience of no-fuss handling and mess-free disposal.
To prepare coffee using coffee pods, place the pod or pods with your favorite coffee type or blend inside
the appropriate pod holder and brew your coffee as explained in the following section of this instruction
manual. For best results, make sure to position the pod with the flat side up.

NOTE:
• Do not use same pod twice. The best coffee flavors are
extracted the first time water passes through the pod.
• Do not use torn, ripped or broken pods.
• Do not use another manufacturer's pod, espresso pods, tea
bags or regular ground coffee. Your Home Café™
Coffeemaker is specially designed to work with Home
Café™ pods. Using other brands of coffee pods or using
loose grounds with a filter may clog or damage your
Home Café™ unit, or not produce the desired quality of
coffee.
