INTRODUCTION
Congratulations. You’ve just purchased a
coffeemaker that will make you want to retire
your alarm clock! Wake up, instead, to the rich
aroma of freshly ground, just brewed coffee,
with the Cuisinart
®
Grind & Brew
™
Automatic
Coffeemaker. One of the Premier Series,
this deluxe 12-cup model offers the best of
Cuisinart’s expert coffeemaking technology
to deliver unsurpassed ease of use and rich
full-bodied coffee flavour. With streamlined
European styling and a graceful carafe,
it’s a beautiful addition to any kitchen.
The Grind & Brew
™
Coffeemaker features a
separate grinding assembly and filter chamber
to make beans easy to add and used grounds
easy to remove. A convenient “grind off”
control turns the grinder off when preground
coffee is used.
Fully programmable, this is the ultimate
user-friendly coffeemaker. Simply add beans
and water, set the flavour control to 1-4 or 5+
cups, and program start time up to 24 hours in
advance. An auto-shutoff feature even lets you
set the unit to turn off up to 4 hours after the
brew cycle ends.
A charcoal water filter and a permanent
commercial-style gold tone coffee filter allow
only pure coffee flavour to flow through, and
the popular Brew Pause
™
feature lets you
sneak a cup before the cycle is finished.
Dishwasher safe parts. Separate grind and
filter chambers for easy cleanup. The freshest
tasting coffee outside of a coffee bar.
What more could a coffee lover ask for?
