surface.
2. Remove the instruction book and any other
literature.
3. Turn the box so that the back side of the

coffeemaker from the box.
4. After the coffeemaker has been removed,
place the box out of the way and remove
the top and bottom two polyfoam inserts.
5. Grasp the carafe by its handle, remove it

THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
ELEMENT 1: WATER
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that
water is as important as the quality of your
coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from
the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee.
Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter
to remove chlorine, bad tastes and odors,
for the purest coffee flavor, every time
you brew.
ELEMENT 2: COFFEE
While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor
comes from the beans. To achieve the same
great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you
need to use the same quality of coffee.
If you choose to grind your own beans,
buy them fresh and whole. Buy only about
a two-week supply at a time, because once
the bean is broken, its flavor degrades
quickly.
ELEMENT 3: GRIND
The grind is critical for proper flavor
extraction. If the grind is too fine, over-
extraction 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 maximum flavor will not be
extracted. When grinding your own beans,
we recommend a medium-fine grind.
ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION
Coffee that is too strong or too weak
is always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions of ground coffee
in the instructions under Making Coffee,
and later adjust the amount to suit
your taste.
