NOTES:

• Blooming is a process of slowly pouring a stream of hot water to saturate ground coffee, which causes grounds to swell. This process extracts CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the grounds and removes acidity, producing a richer, more full-bodied cup of coffee.
• The shower Head is designed to evenly soak ground coffee for a more balanced, richer, and cleaner flavour.
• Drip Stop must be in an open position (  ) when starting to brew, otherwise coffee will overflow.

Once coffee has drained to a certain level, heater will turn back on and finish brew. This may lengthen brew time.

Coffee tastes bad.

• Too much water or too little water was added.
• Too much coffee or too little coffee was added.
• Poor coffee quality or freshness.
• Poor water quality. Use filtered or bottled water for better taste, or use a water filter. Replacement filters available at hamiltonbeach.com.
