than 30 seconds or the coffee may overflow
the basket.
While we offer this feature, we do
not recommend that you pour coffee before
the cycle has reached completion, since the
coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle
has a flavour profile which is very different
from the coffee made at the end of the cycle.
Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will
alter the flavour of the finished pot.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it
before serving to blend the flavours. The
coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be
somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.
When the brewing cycle is completed,
five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue
to stream from the filter for several seconds.
After brewing, the heater plate will keep the
coffee at about 180°-185°F. We recommend
transferring the coffee to a thermal carafe
preheated with hot water, if the coffee is not
going to be drunk within 20 minutes.
TO MAKE COFFEE WITH
PRE-GROUND BEANS:
Follow step #1 from Making Coffee
section on page 9 then continue as follows:
2. Open filter door. Add ground coffee to
our permanent or #4 basket paper filter. Our
recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop of
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe
according to your individual taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a
paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that
amount may cause overflow if the coffee
is too finely ground.
3. Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter
door.
4. Follow instructions 5 through 8 from the
Making Coffee section.
5. Press the “Grind Off” button. When this
function is activated, an amber LED will be
illuminated. Then press the “ON” button.
