MAKING COFFEE

insertion of the filter .

straight up and away from the coffeemaker .
b . Fill reservoir with water for the number of cups
you are brewing and return with lid to unit
(see figure 1) .
NOTE:
If water gets under the coffee tank or water
reservoir, it will end up in the drip tray .
3. Set preferences
Push the 1–4 Cup button if you are brewing fewer
than 5 cups
.
4. Add the ground coffee
Insert a #4 paper filter
OR
permanent filter into
the filter basket . Be sure that the paper filter is
completely open and fully inserted in the basket . It
may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper
filter beforehand . Add 1 scoop (1 tablespoon = ~6
grams) of ground coffee per cup . Adjust the amount
according to taste .
BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
During the manufacturing process, dust can get
trapped in your coffeemaker . We recommend flush-
ing out the system before brewing your first cups of
coffee . Simply fill the water reservoir and power on
the unit . (See steps #2 and #6 in MAKING COFFEE
instructions, below) .
DO NOT ADD COFFEE!
Once you’ve done that, brew your favorite coffee and
get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at its best!
