THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

• Element 1: Water
  Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad tastes and odors for the purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.

• Element 2: Coffee
  While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose to grind your own beans, buy them fresh and whole. Buy only about a two-week supply at a time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor degrades quickly.

• Element 3: Grind
  The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your own beans, we recommend a medium-fine grind.

• Element 4: Proportion
  Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of ground coffee in the instructions under MAKING COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to suit your taste.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

1. Coffeemaker Lid Opens to access filter basket.

2. Water Reservoir with Water Level Indicator Window

3. Showerhead (not shown) Distributes water evenly over coffee, reducing temperature loss as water passes through grounds.

BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE

Rinsing your coffee brewer: We recommend flushing out the system before brewing your first pot of coffee. Simply fill the reservoir, power on the unit, and follow steps 1, 3 and 5 on page 9 under MAKING COFFEE. Do not add coffee!

Charcoal Water Filter

• Your coffee brewer comes with a charcoal water filter that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

• Remove the filter from polybag and soak it, fully immersed, in cold tap water for 15 minutes.
• Lift the water filter holder out of the water reservoir.
• Press down on the filter compartment and pull toward you to open.
• Place filter into the holder and snap it closed. Be careful – improper placement can tear the filter skin.
• Flush filter by running cold tap water through holes in bottom of compartment for 10 seconds.
• Allow the filter to drain completely.
• Slide the water filter holder back into the channel in the water reservoir, pushing it down to the base of the unit.

NOTE: We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or after 60 uses, and more often if you have hard water. Replacement filters can be purchased in stores, or by calling Cuisinart Consumer Service, or at www.cuisinart.com

PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEE BREWER

SETTING THE CLOCK

• When the coffee brewer is plugged in, 12:00 will flash in the display for 30 seconds, indicating the unit is in Clock Set mode. If 12:00 stops flashing, simply press the MENU button 3 times to the CLOCK option and the time will return to flashing in Clock Set mode.
  Setting Hours and Minutes

• Use the up arrow to set hours and the down arrow to set minutes. Hold buttons down to scroll through the digits quickly, or press and release to advance one digit at a time. Be sure the PM indicator is on if setting a PM time. Five seconds after finishing setting, the unit will automatically exit Clock Setting mode.

   Press and hold the AUTO ON button for 2 seconds. The digital display will flash the default (12:00) or previously selected time and the AUTO ON button will flash. Follow directions under SETTING THE CLOCK (above) to program your start-brew time. Five seconds after finishing setting, the unit will automatically exit Auto On Setup mode.

   Press illuminated AUTO ON button; AUTO ON will not be displayed on control panel and AUTO ON button light will turn off.

MAKING COFFEE

Follow instructions in BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE (page 8).

1. Fill the water reservoir
   Lift the coffee brewer lid to open. Pour the desired amount of water into the water reservoir using the water level indicator located at the front of the coffee brewer.

2. Add the ground coffee
   Insert a #4 paper filter, the stainless steel etched filter, or a gold tone filter. If using a paper filter, be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1–1½ level scoops (tablespoons) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste.
   NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 11 tablespoons for this coffee brew-er. Exceeding this amount may cause over-flow if the coffee is too finely ground.

3. Position carafe and plug in unit
   Place carafe on resting plate. Make sure filter basket is securely in place and lid is completely closed. Plug coffee brewer into an electrical outlet.

4. Set preferences

   • Press MENU once to get to STRENGTH. Use up/down arrows to choose MILD, MEDIUM or BOLD. Press MENU again to set and you will be moved to the next setting.
   • You are now on TEMP. Use up/down arrows to select HOT or X-HOT. Press MENU to set.

5. Start brewing
   Press the BREW/OFF button to begin brewing, the button will illuminate.

6. After brewing
   When the brew cycle is complete, 5 beeps will sound.
   Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.

SCAA Coffee Dose Recommendations

• 66 grams medium grind/1.2 L (11 scoops)
• 55 grams medium grind/1 L (9 scoops)
• 27.5 grams medium grind/.5 L (4½ scoops)

SCAA Approved Settings

• Strength: Medium

NOTE: This is the default setting of your pour over coffee brewer, but can be adjusted according to your preference.

• SCAA Approved! Cuisinart’s high standards have passed the tests of the Specialty Coffee Association of America. Our Cuisinart® PurePrecision Pour-Over Thermal Coffee Brewer proudly carries their seal of approval, having met the SCAA’s rigorous technical requirements for exemplary home brewers. For more information on SCAA go to: http://www.scaa.org
• Blooming After coffee grounds are evenly showered with water heated to the ideal brewing temperature, the unit pauses to let the flavor bloom before proceeding with the brewing process.

Brew Pause™ Feature

• This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot.
  NOTE: Removing the carafe for more than 20 seconds during brew cycle may cause filter basket to overflow.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always turn coffee brewer off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Lift up the coffee brewer lid. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned on the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use.
• Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed.
• Wipe the area under the filter basket with a damp cloth.
• Remove the carafe from the resting plate. Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only.
• Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee brewer.
• Never immerse base unit in water or other liquids. To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be washed off with soap and water or a nonabrasive cleaning solution. Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the heating plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

Maintenance

• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to the removal of calcium deposits that form over time on the metal parts of your coffee brewer. The mineral content of the tap water in your area and the frequency of use affects the rate of the calcium buildup, which can affect the functioning of your coffee brewer and the flavor of your coffee. For best performance from your PurePrecision Pour-Over Thermal Coffee Brewer, we recommend cleaning it whenever CLEAN is flashing on your control panel.

NOTE: Before decalcifying your unit, remove the charcoal water filter from the water reservoir.

To clean:

1. Fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄3 white vinegar and 2⁄3 water.
2. Press MENU button 4 times to get to CLEAN START. Press BREW/OFF to begin cleaning cycle.
3. When the cycle is completed, 5 beeps will sound and the coffee brewer will shut off.
4. If CLEAN flashes once more, repeat the cleaning procedure with a fresh solution of vinegar and water. NOTE: One cleaning cycle is usually sufficient.
5. When CLEAN remains off, run one cycle with a full reservoir of fresh, cold water to rinse the unit.
6. Return the charcoal water filter to the holder inside the water reservoir and your coffee brewer is ready to brew!
