COFFEE BREWING SUGGESTIONS:

ADVICE FOR GREAT TASTE

Fresh Coffee Beans

Truly great coffee can only come from fresh coffee beans. To preserve the freshness of your beans, keep the beans in an opaque, airtight container and store them in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended since condensation tends to form on the beans whenever the container is opened. Freezing can help preserve beans stored for an extended period, but it will also impair flavor.

The Right Grind

The best cup of coffee comes from coffee beans that are properly ground just before brewing. When grinding, be sure to grind your coffee to a medium grind level, the appropriate grind for automatic drip coffee makers.

Look for the KitchenAid coffee grinders at your local retailer or online at www.kitchenaid.com.

blade or burr

The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee

A good starting point is 1 tablespoon of coffee for every cup of brew water marked on the glass carafe or the water tank. Finer grinds usually require less coffee but may also produce bitterness and clog the filter.

For weaker coffee, brew using the suggested ratio of coffee grounds and water, then dilute with hot water. This maximizes flavor and minimizes bitterness.

Brew Water Purity

Great tasting coffee starts with fresh water. The removable water tank is easy to fill with water to give you great tasting coffee every time. It’s also easy to clean so you can always make your coffee with the freshest water.

Where local water is extremely poor, you may wish to use bottled water. Do not use distilled water or mineral water since they can damage your coffee maker.

Coffee Maker Cleanliness

Since the coffee oils that build up on the brew basket and carafe can go stale and impair the flavor of the brewed coffee, it’s important that these two items are cleaned daily in order to make the best tasting coffee.

PREPARING YOUR COFFEE MAKER FOR USE

Pre-Use Cleaning

Wash the brew basket, Gold Tone permanent filter, and carafe in hot, soapy water, then rinse with clean water and dry. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.

Installing the Water Filter

Use of the water filter is strongly recommended. The filter reduces contaminants which impair the coffee flavor. Use of the filter is optional. The coffee maker will operate normally without it.

The water filter is for use only with municipally treated tap water or well water that is regularly tested for contaminants.

1. The filter consists of a long handle with a

filter cartridge at the end.

2. Place the filter cartridge in a separate

container filled with fresh, cool water. The cartridge should remain submerged in the water for 10 minutes. Rinse the filter under running water for 5 seconds after soaking.

3. Lift the water tank lid using the tab on

the rear of the lid.

4. Place the filter cartridge in the well at the

bottom of the water reservoir. Push the cartridge slightly to make sure it fits snugly.

5. Every time you install a new filter, run the

coffee maker through a complete brewing cycle without coffee. Use a full carafe of clean, cool water.

To Set the Time-of-Day Clock

KITCHENAID® COFFEE MAKER USE

Brewing More Than 4 Cups of Coffee

NOTE: Brew one pot of fresh, cool water

and discard before brewing the first pot of coffee (first time use only).

1. Remove the water tank and fill with

enough fresh, cool water to make the desired amount of coffee. A graduated scale on the tank measures the amount of water needed. When replacing the tank, make sure to align the holes on the top of the tank with the tabs on the back of the coffee maker housing.

For glass carafe models only, the right side of the scale (Coffee) is a measurement of coffee volume. The left side of the scale (Water) indicates the amount of water needed to produce a given number of cups.

NOTE: The filter can be inserted and coffee grounds added without removing the brew basket from the coffee maker.

A. Locking handle

5. Insert a 10-12 cup flat bottom paper

filter or the Gold Tone permanent filter into the brew basket. Do not use both types of filters at the same time. Using both filters might cause water and coffee to overflow the brew basket.

tablespoon of ground coffee for each cup desired. Use a medium grind appropriate for automatic drip coffee makers. Too fine a grind will produce bitterness and may clog the coffee filter.

2. For glass carafe models only, lift the

tank lid and fill the water reservoir with fresh, cool water. Water can also be poured directly into the reservoir at the back of the coffee maker.

3. After filling the reservoir, place the carafe
