MAKING COFFEE
1. Fill the water reservoir:
Lift the water reservoir lid and pour
the desired amount of water using
the stair-step cup measure inside
the water reservoir.
2. Add the ground coffee:
Remove the filter basket by
grasping the handle and lifting
straight up, and place it on the
countertop. Insert a #2 paper filter
or
permanent filter. Be sure that the
paper filter is completely open and
fully inserted into the basket. It may
help to fold and flatten the seams of
a paper filter beforehand. Add the
desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of
cups being brewed. Add 1 level
scoop [1 tablespoon (15 ml)] of
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the
amount according to taste.
Replace the filter basket in the filter
basket holder and flip the water
reservoir lid closed. Be sure that it
closes securely in place.
Before brewing coffee:
Make sure you have replaced the
carafe into its position on the warm-
ing plate. Plug the cord into an
electrical outlet.
3. Power unit:
Press the power button on the side
of the unit to power on. The
indicator will illuminate.
4. During and after brewing:
The Brew Pause
™
feature allows
you to remove the carafe from the
warming plate during mid brew. The
brewing process does not stop dur-
ing this period, only the flow of
coffee from the basket stops. Do
not remove the carafe for longer
than 30 seconds or the coffee may
overflow the basket. While we offer
this feature, we do not recommend
you pour the coffee before the cycle
has reached completion, since the
coffee brewed at the beginning of
the cycle has a flavor profile that is
very different from the flavor at the
end of the cycle. Removing a cup
during the brewing cycle will alter
the flavor of the finished pot.
Caution: During and after brewing,
hold carafe by handle only. Stainless
steel will be hot.
Once the coffee has finished brewing,
stir it before serving to blend the flavors.
The coffee at the bottom of the carafe
will be somewhat stronger than the
coffee at the top.
After brewing, the warming plate will
keep the coffee at about 180-185°F
(82.2°C-85°C). Coffeemaker will auto-
matically shut off after 30 minutes.
