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.

Troubleshooting

Longer than normal brew time.

  • Too much water was added (8 cups [1.2 L] max).
  • Coffee Maker needs cleaning.
  • Overflow protection may have been activated during brew. If a lot of coffee is added and Filter Basket is about to overflow, Scale will detect this and heater will turn off to allow Brew Basket to drain. 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.

Display says to add water.

  • Add amount of water shown on display. Use markings on the reservoir to determine the correct amount.

  • NOTE: The unit does not measure water poured into the reservoir.
    Coffee weight not displaying correctly.

  • Remove coffee, including paper filter, if being used.

  • Push scale button. Display will show dashes.
