WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated, dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of fire
or electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance, and the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.
NOTICE
This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

The Quest
for the Perfect
Cup of Coffee
Element 1
WATER
Any hot beverage is made up primarily of water.
Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as
important as the quality of the coffee, tea or cocoa.
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 beverage. That’s why the Cuisinart® Compact
Single-Serve Brewer has added a charcoal water
filter that removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for
the purest cup of coffee every time.
Element 2
COFFEE
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor
should be from the coffee, tea or cocoa. To achieve
a great quality beverage, you need to use the same
quality ingredients. By using the best single serve
coffee capsules, you can be assured that you’re
getting the finest product with every cup you brew. If
you choose to use your own coffee in a reusable
coffee capsule (not included), make sure all your
ingredients are at their freshest.
Element 3
GRIND
The grind of coffee and cocoa, or the refinement of
your tea leaves, is critical for proper flavor extraction.
With the pre-measured, pre-ground ingredients
found in every single serve coffee capsule, you can
rest easy knowing that it’ll brew perfectly each and
every time, locking in maximum flavor and freshness.
Element 4
PROPORTION
No matter which cup size you choose, the Cuisinart®
Compact Single-Serve Brewer, working in
conjunction with a single-serve capsule, will always
produce the perfect cup every time. When grinding
your own coffee and using it in a reusable coffee
capsule (not included), remember to add the
amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the
number of ounces being brewed.
