The Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee



IMPORTANT UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Place the box on a large, sturdy, flat surface.

Remove the instruction book, "Starter Kit" (paper filters and scoop)

and any other literature located on the top polyfoam.

Turn the box so that the back side of the coffeemaker is down and slide the

coffeemaker from the box.

After the coffeemaker has been removed, place the box out of the way and lift off the top polyfoam insert.

Remove cardboard insert from carafe handle.

Remove the cardboard insert between the carafe lid and Brew Pause

mechanism by sliding it out of the unit.

Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove it from the resting plate, and remove the

polybag.

Remove the polybag covering the coffeemaker.

We suggest you save all packing materials in the event that future shipping of the machine is needed. Keep all plastic bags away from children.

THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:

Element 1: Water

Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste any better in your coffee.

Element 2: Coffee

While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve the same great quality cup of coffee you receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality beans.

Buy the beans fresh and whole, only about two weeks' supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades very quickly. That's why the Grind & Brew Thermal" grinds your coffee just prior to brewing. If it is not practical to buy small supplies, we recommend you separate larger amounts of beans into one to two week portions immediately after purchase, and freeze them in airtight containers. The best way to maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light and moisture. So, once beans have been removed from the freezer, maintain them in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation occurs every time the beans are removed from the freezer or refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts advise against freezing dark-roast beans, because freezing can cause the oils to coagulate. Other experts disagree. We suggest you experiment and decide for yourself.

Element 3: Grind

The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter.

If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. The Grind & Brew Thermal

is preset for a medium grind, the

optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.

Element 4: Proportion

The Grind & Brew Thermal

makes up to

ten (10) 5-ounce cups of coffee.

Using Whole Beans

•

We recommend you use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. Maximum 14 level scoops. For 1 or 2 cups, use 11/2 level scoops per cup. Adjust the recipe according to individual taste.

THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS 14 LEVEL SCOOPS OF WHOLE BEANS.

DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR THE COFFEEMAKER COULD OVERFLOW.

Using Pre-Ground Coffee

Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole beans, you can make coffee in the Grind & Brew Thermal

using pre-ground beans.

To do so, turn off the grinder by pressing the "Grind Off" button before turning on the unit

Our recipe

We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe to your taste.

NOTE: THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR GROUND COFFEE IS 16 LEVEL SCOOPS, USING EITHER A PAPER OR GOLD TONE COMMERCIAL STYLE PERMANENT FILTER. EXCEEDING THIS AMOUNT MAY CAUSE OVERFLOW.

To set the time, hold down either the "Hours" or "Minutes" button until the clock begins flashing (about 2 seconds). You are now in the "Time Set" mode and can operate either button to achieve the desired setting. The buttons can be held down to scroll through the digits, or pressed and released lightly to advance one digit at a time.

When scrolling, the numbers will advance slowly at first and then speed up to the rate of about three per second. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, release the button and press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. Be careful to make sure that the PM indicator is on if a PM time is desired.

Exiting "Time Set" Mode

The "Time Set" mode can be exited in one

of two ways:

Press any button besides the "Hours" or "Minutes" button. This will exit the "Time Set" and activate the selected function.

MAKING COFFEE

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart

Grind & Brew Thermal

- Automatic coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues which remain in the system from the manufacturing process.

Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the step water indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.

Add Beans

Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the basket with the desired quantity of beans.

Maximum capacity is 14 level scoops. Do not overfill or the grinder could malfunction and/or the coffeemaker may overflow.

Our suggested recipe (adjust the recipe to taste): Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use

11/2

level scoops

per cup.

Open Filter Door

Place a #4 basket paper filter or commercial

style permanent filter in the basket.

Note: When using a commercial style permanent filter, be sure that the filter handle is facing away from the grinder basket. If you do not do so, the handle may interfere with the flow of ground coffee into the filter basket. Also note: A commercial style permanent filter may allow some ground coffee to flow into carafe.

The filter holder will help to keep the filter open, but when using a paper filter, be sure that the filter is completely open while touching the side walls and bottom of the basket.

Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.

Close the Reservoir Lid

Power Unit

When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.

After brewing, the unit will automatically shut itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for hours.

Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. Use caution.

The brew-through, pour-through lid allows coffee to drip from coffeemaker through the closed lid. When brewing is complete, the lid seals itself so air stays out and coffee freshness and temperature are preserved. No need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.

TO MAKE COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND BEANS

Fill the Water Reservoir

Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.

Open filter door.

Add ground coffee to a commercial style permanent gold tone filter or #4 basket paper filter.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or commercial style permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe according to your individual taste.

Place filter basket lid in place.

filter door.

Follow instructions 4 through 8 from the "Making Coffee" section.

Press the Grind Off button.

When this function is activated, an amber LED will be illuminated. Then rotate and release the On/Off button clockwise to the On/Off position.

Press down to lock. The Grind & Brew' Automatic Coffeemaker is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. The Grind & Brew

will not operate if the cover of the unit is open or the grinder cover is left out. Because grinder blades spin during opera- tion, the Grind & Brew- will not operate if the cover of the unit is open. If you try to turn the unit on with the cover open, the unit will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and you close the lid. The unit will also beep if you open the lid during the brewing process. The grinder will stop grinding or, if brewing, the brewing will stop.

Once the missing parts are installed and

the cover is closed, the beeping stops. The

brewing process can be restarted by turning and releasing the On/Off dial in a clockwise

position. Restarting the process will not

affect coffee results. If you do not want the grinder to come on again, press the Grind

Off button before rotating the On dial. Once the lid is closed, the beeping will stop, and the grind and brew process will start again

from the beginning.

Before Brewing Coffee

Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the

direction of the "unlock" arrow. Prewarm

carafe by rinsing it out with hot water.

PREWARMING THE CARAFE WILL HELP

KEEP THE COFFEE HOTTER.

Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the lid, turn in the direction of the "lock"

arrow until it fits tightly on carafe and arrow

lines up in the center of the pour spout. This ensures lid is closed and in the proper

position for brewing and pouring.

Make sure you have replaced the thermal

carafe in its position on the resting plate

and have placed a filter in the filter basket.

Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

"12:00" will appear until you set the time. This will not interfere with the operation of the coffeemaker. To set clock, see the

"Programming Your Coffeemaker" section, page 8.

Immediate grinding and brewing:

Rotate the On/Off dial clockwise to the On/Off position and release. The indicator will light and the process will begin.

Programmed Brewing:

Rotate the Program Dial clockwise to the Program Set position and release. The indicator will light and the display will show the programmed time. See Programming Your Coffeemaker on page 8.

Select Cups Setting

The 1-4 cup setting button is used when you make small amounts of coffee. Normal coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of coffee when smaller amounts are made, be- cause the heater doesn't have enough time to properly warm up to heat a small amount.

The 1-4 setting double heats the water, making your smaller amount as piping hot as a full pot would be.

To use:

When making a smaller amount, press the 1-4 button on the control panel after turning on the unit. The indicator light will illuminate. Note that the 1-4 button can be set at any time.

During and After Brewing

The Brew Pause" feature allows you to remove the carafe during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from the basket stops.

Do not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the coffee may overflow the basket.

While we offer this feature, we recommend that you do not pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.

Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

Open the reservoir lid". Remove the grinder basket lid by using the recessed area on each side of the lid. Then remove Grinder Basket. Open Filter Basket Door. Remove Filter Basket Cover, Filter Basket and Filter Basket holder.

The grinder basket, grinder basket lid, filter basket and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.

Do not put any water in the unit once the grinder basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the grinder basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction.

Once clean, reverse the above steps.

Remove the carafe from the resting plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only.

Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.

Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

" Note: Reservoir lid can also be removed for easy cleaning. Open the lid 60° and gently pull toward you. To replace, reverse steps.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.

For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time.

The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of

/3 white vinegar and

/3 water. Turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the ON button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.
