Fill the tank with cold water to the maximum capacity of 8 cups and switch the appliance to the "II" position to allow water to run through into the glass Chemex® carafe (no coffee). The Chemex is a beautiful glass vessel made of non-porous glass that doesn't absorb odours or chemical residues. Once you have brought the appropriate amount of water to a boil, remove it from the heat and allow it to stop boiling vigorously.

Instead, wash it with warm water, soap, and a soft-bristled brush after every use; otherwise, unwanted bacteria can build up in the carafe.
