4 ELEMENTS TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• 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!

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 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning your coffee maker, following the directions below is recommended after every use. This product contains no user serviceable parts.

Cleaning

1. Make sure your coffeemaker is unplugged and cool.

2. Open the coffeemaker cover. Remove the brew basket. Throw away the used paper filter and coffee grounds.

3. Wash the brew basket and carafe in the dishwasher (top-rack) or by hand in warm, soapy water.

4. Wipe the outside of the coffeemaker, power cord and carafe plate with a soft, damp cloth.

5. To clean the inside of the cover, open the cover and leave in the open position; wipe surfaces with a damp cloth.

Note: Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads, and never immerse the coffeemaker in water.

Descaling with Vinegar

With regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffee maker. A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month.

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. Push the ON/OFF button to start the brewing cycle. Let half the cleaning mixture brew into the carafe (until the level is around 6 cups). Turn OFF the coffeemaker and let it soak for at least 15 minutes.

4. Turn ON the coffeemaker again and brew the remaining cleaning mixture into the carafe. Then, turn OFF the coffeemaker; empty carafe and discard the paper filter.

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

6. Wash the brew basket and carafe as shown in CLEANING.
