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.
