4 ELEMENTS TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

Water Quality

A great cup of coffee starts with fresh, quality water. Since water represents more than 98% of brewed coffee, it is just as important as the coffee quality itself. The water you use should taste like fresh, good-quality drinking water, have an odorless aroma, and contain no visible impurities.

Even Saturation

Even saturation of your coffee grounds is vital for ensuring proper ﬂavor and extraction. Some coffee makers simply drip water down the center of the brew basket, which leads to over-extraction in the center of the coffee grounds and underextraction on the perimeter. This coffeemaker features an Evenstream showerhead, providing even saturation of the coffee grounds for optimal ﬂavor extraction.

Coffee Freshness

A truly fresh cup of coffee only comes from freshly ground coffee beans. In fact, once a coffee bean is broken or ground, its ﬂavor will begin to degrade over time. Maximize the freshness of your coffee by grinding coffee beans just prior to brewing.

Proper Proportion

It is important to use the proper coffee-to-water ratio to produce a ﬁnished brew that isn’t too strong or weak. We recommend using 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for every 1 cup of brewed coffee. You may adjust this proportion to suit your individual taste, or try the Brew Strength Selector to customize your ﬂavor!

TIPS FOR A PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

• To maximize the freshness of your coffee, grind whole coffee beans just before brewing.

• Always use fresh, cold, clean water in your coffee maker. The water you use should have an odorless aroma and contain no visible impurities.

• Use spring water or ﬁltered water, not distilled water which lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements of coffee.

• A clean coffee maker is always important. Regular cleaning is required for the best tasting coffee.

• Always keep the lid on your thermal carafe after brewing. The carafe is double-wall insulated and vacuum sealed to help keep your coffee hot and fresh for hours.

• Always store your coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in an airtight container.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze your daily supply of coffee, as contact with moisture will cause the coffee to deteriorate.

• Never re-use your coffee grounds. After brewing, the desirable coffee ﬂavors have been extracted and only the bitter ﬂavors remain.

• Brewed coffee should be enjoyed immediately! Allowing coffee to sit too long and reheating coffee will impact the ﬂavor.

• Smell the aroma of your freshly brewed coffee, and remember that every sip is meant to be savored and enjoyed!

• Fill the carafe with hot tap water and empty before brewing, which will warm up the carafe and help keep coffee at the brewed temperature.

BREWING COFFEE

Note: You don’t need to set the clock to brew coffee right away.

1. Open cover of coffeemaker. Fill

water reservoir with cold tap water. Use lines on the easy viewing water window as a guide. Do not fill past 12 MAX line.

2. Place a basket shaped paper filter

into the brew basket. Add ground coffee (we suggest 1 tablespoon per cup). Put brew basket in place.

3. Close carafe lid by first lining up the

arrow on the lid with the unlocked symbol on the carafe. Turn the lid clockwise until arrow on the lid is lined up with the locked symbol.

Note: Coffee may run over if lid is not correctly in place on carafe.

4. Place empty carafe on the carafe

plate and plug cord into a standard outlet.

5. To set the Auto Brew delay start,

brew strength selector, and 1-4 cup setting, follow the instructions in the “Programming” section.

6. Press ON/OFF button once to

begin brewing.

7. The Sneak-A-Cup™ feature allows

you to pour a cup of coffee before the brewing cycle is complete. The carafe must be placed back into the coffeemaker within 20 seconds to prevent overflow. Replacing the carafe will restart the brewing process.

8. Brew timer will begin when

brewing cycle is complete.

9. Press thumb tab on carafe lid to

pour coffee.

10. To turn off the coffeemaker at any

time press the ON/OFF button.

11. When coffee grounds are cool,

carefully remove and throw away used grounds and filter.

12. Clean the thermal carafe and

washable brew basket according to the instructions in the CARE AND CLEANING section.

DESCALING WITH THE AUTO CLEAN™ FUNCTION

With regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffee maker. A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month. To notify you that it is time to descale with vinegar, after 60 brew cycles the LCD display will show a “CL” mark and blink for about 10 seconds. The “CL” mark will continue to blink before each brew until the descaling process is completed.

1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 5-cup mark on the water window. Add cold water up to the 12-cup mark.

2. Put a basket-shaped paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the carafe plate.

3. Press and hold the “AUTO” button for 5 seconds to start the Auto Clean™ function. The entire cleaning process will take 45-60 minutes to complete.

4. During the Auto Clean™ process, the coffee maker will:

- Brew 3 cups of the vinegar/water mixture first

- Pause for about 30 minutes

- After the pause, it will brew the remainder of the vinegar/water mixture

5. Once the process is complete, empty the carafe and discard the paper filter.

6. Fill the water reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line: replace the empty carafe on the carafe plate and then turn ON the coffeemaker for a complete brewing cycle to flush out the remaining vinegar/water mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the vinegar smell and taste

7. Wash the brew basket and carafe as shown in CARE AND CLEANING.
