MAKING COFFEE WITH
WHOLE BEANS
Follow instructions in “Before Brewing Your
First Pot of Coffee” above.
1. Insert Charcoal Water Filter
Follow directions for the preparation
and insertion of the charcoal water
filter on page 9.
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 10-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.
NOTE:
Use 1 level scoop of whole
beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use
1½ level scoops per cup. Do not add
over 14 scoops. This could cause
the grinder to malfunction and/or the
coffeemaker to overflow.
4. Insert Coffee Filter

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 Lid in Place and
Close Filter Door
6. Close Reservoir 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 On
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 On button.
7. Prepare the Carafe
Remove thermal carafe lid by turning
in the direction of the “unlock” arrow.
PREWARM CARAFE BY RINSING IT
OUT WITH HOT WATER.

.
Return the carafe lid to the carafe and
lock by turning it in the direction of
the “lock” arrow until it fits tightly on
carafe and arrow lines up in the
center of the pour spout. This
ensures cover is closed and in the
proper position for brewing and
pouring. Make sure you have
replaced the thermal carafe in its
position on the resting plate.

NOTE:
Coffeemakers traditionally
BEFORE BREWING YOUR
FIRST POT OF COFFEE
During the manufacturing process, dust
can get trapped in your coffeemaker. We
recommend flushing out the system
before brewing your first pot of coffee.
Simply follow “Making Coffee with Pre-
Ground Beans,” page 9. Skip step #1 and
be sure to use only water and a paper
filter…no coffee!
Once you’ve done that, brew a pot of real
coffee and get ready to enjoy Cuisinart at
its best!
