FEATURES AND BENEFITS

This compact Cuisinart

®

 4-cup Coffeemaker 

includes practical features such as the Brew 

Pause

, so you can sneak a cup of coffee 

before brewing has finished. The carafe is 

heat-resistant with an ergonomic handle and  

drip-free spout for easy pouring. The newly 

designed showerhead controls the spray  

of water onto the coffee grounds for even 

water distribution and brewing for great  

tasting coffee.

  1. Reservoir Cover 

Flips back for easy filling.

  2. Water Reservoir

  3. Filter Basket (not shown) 

Holds a #2 paper filter or a  

permanent filter.

  4. Filter Basket Holder

  5. Showerhead (not shown) 

Designed for even distribution  

of water onto coffee and  

minimizes temperature loss of  

water passing through the grounds.

  6. Brew Pause

 

Stops flow of coffee from basket  

when carafe is removed (30 seconds 

maximum) from heater plate so a cup  

can be poured in mid-brew, if desired.  

Since the extraction rate varies during  

the brew cycle, we recommend  

allowing the brewing cycle to finish  

before pouring the finished coffee.

  7. On/Off Rocker Switch with On  

Indicator Light (not shown)

  8. Stainless Steel Carafe 

The carafe has an ergonomic handle  

and knuckle guard for safe and  

easy pouring.

  9. Warming Plate 

Scratch resistant with black,  

nonstick coating.
