Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee
Hints for Great-Tasting Coffee:
• A clean coffeemaker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean
the coffeemaker as detailed in the “Care and Maintenance” section.
• Always use fresh, cold water in the coffeemaker.
• Finer coffee grounds, such as drip and automatic drip coffeemaker (ADC)
grinds, promote a full extraction of flavor and a rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular
coffee grinds require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a
finer coffee grind.
• Store unused ground coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of
ground coffee, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its fresh-
ness.
• For optimum coffee taste, buy whole coffee beans and finely grind them just
before brewing.
• Do not reuse coffee grounds; this greatly reduces the coffee’s flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended as peak coffee flavor occurs immediately
after brewing.
• Clean the coffeemaker when an oily build-up occurs. A small amount of oil on
the surface of brewed coffee is due to the release of oil from roasted coffee
beans. Oiliness may occur more frequently when using heavily-roasted coffees.
How to Use (
cont’d
)
Brewing a Second Pot of Coffee:
1. To brew a second pot of coffee within a short period, press the On/Auto/Off
button twice to turn the unit off and wait 10 minutes for the heating element to
cool.
2. Remove and dispose of the used coffee grounds. Rinse the carafe and reusable
mesh filter with water and repeat the brewing instructions detailed on the
previous page.
WARNING: If the coffeemaker does not cool completely before reuse, water placed
in the water reservoir may overheat, causing steam to be released. This
poses a risk of burns and/or other serious personal injury.
For Timer Brewing:
NOTE: It will be necessary to reset the brewing start time on the coffeemaker if
electrical power is interrupted.
1. Ensure the current clock time is set correctly.
2. Press the Program Button twice and “TIMER” will appear in the LED Display (see
Figure 3).
3. Press and release the “HOUR” and/or “MIN” Buttons until the desired brewing
start time appears in the display.
NOTE: “AM” or “PM” will appear to the left of the time display (as in Figure 3
).
4. To activate the brewing timer, press the On/Auto/Off Button again.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Reference the “To Brew Coffee” section to prepare the coffee-
maker properly for brewing.
NOTICE: To avoid overheating the coffeemaker, never leave the brewing timer on
without water and coffee in the unit.
