USING YOUR PERFECT POUR
®
THERMAL CARAFE
• For best performance, rinse the carafe with warm water before brewing. This brings up
the temperature and improves the carafe's thermal properties.
• The carafe spout is specially designed to deliver a dripless pour so you can serve coffee
without any messy drips.
• Coffee is brewed directly through the carafe brew-thru lid. Always check that lid is
properly in place when brewing. Coffee may overflow if lid is not properly in place. See
instructions in "Ready to Brew Coffee" section.
