MAKING COFFEE WITH 

WHOLE BEANS

Follow instructions in BEFORE BREWING YOUR 
FIRST POT OF COFFEE (page 7).

1.  Insert Charcoal Water Filter  

Follow directions for the preparation and 
insertion of the charcoal water filter on page 7.

2.  Fill the Water Reservoir  

Open the reservoir cover and pour in water, 
using the water level window indicator to  
measure the number of cups desired.

NOTE:

 Do not exceed the 12-cup line.  

Doing so could cause carafe to overflow.

3.  Add Beans  

Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess 
on either side. Fill the basket with the desired 
quantity of beans and replace lid.

NOTE:

 Use 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon [15 ml]) 

of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use  
1½ level scoops per cup. Do not add more than 
14 scoops. This could cause the grinder to  
malfunction and/or the coffeemaker to overflow.

4.  Insert Coffee Filter 

Press the filter basket door release button  
to open door and place either a paper filter 

OR 

permanent filter in the basket.

•  Paper Filter – place a #4 basket paper  

filter in the basket, making sure the filter  
is completely open and touching the side 
walls and bottom of basket.

•  Cuisinart’s Commercial-Style Permanent 

Filter – Be sure the filter handle is facing 
away from the grinder basket, so it does not 
interfere with the flow of ground coffee into 
the filter basket. 

NOTE:

 Some ground coffee 

may flow into the carafe.

5.  Put Filter Basket in Place and Close  

Filter Door

6.  Close Reservoir Cover Lid 

Press down to lock. This coffeemaker is 
equipped with a safety interlock system, 
which prevents the unit from operating if the 
cover is open or the grinder cover is left out. 
If you try to turn the unit on with the cover 
open, the unit will beep continuously until the 
missing parts are installed and you close the 
lid. If you open the cover during the grinding 
process, it will beep, the grinder will stop 
grinding and, if brewing, the brewing will 
stop. Once the missing parts are in place  
and the cover is closed, the beeping stops. 
The brewing process can be restarted by 
pressing the Brew/Off button. Restarting  
the process will not affect coffee results.  
If you do not want the grinder to come on 
again, press the Grind Off button before 
pressing the Brew button.
