BREWING A BETTER CUP

Thank you for purchasing a Bonavita coffee brewer. This coffee brewer has been designed to brew great tasting coffee at your desired strength. Add coffee and water and the coffee maker takes care of the rest. The heaters in the Bonavita coffee brewers are designed to deliver the ideal temperature water over the correct brewing time.

• This Bonavita coffee brewer is engineered to heat the brewing water to within the 198°- 205°F (92°-96°C ) range. The heating elements in the Bonavita coffee brewers are designed to deliver the correct temperature water over the correct brewing time.
• For ideal extraction levels, brew your coffee in 6-8 cup batches, with fresh, filtered, cold water.
• Brewing time is about 6 minutes for 8 cups of coffee. This will allow for proper water flow and saturation time.
• The quality of the coffee has a great impact on brewed coffee’s flavor. We recommend using coffee within a couple of weeks of its roast date. Air tight storage will help extend your coffee’s lifespan.
• Grinding coffee is another key point on the timeline of flavor and perishability. Once coffee is ground the air begins to attack essential oils and other volatile savor components. It’s only a matter of hours before most of the ground coffee’s aroma has evaporated. Sometimes pre- grinding can’t be avoided, but if it can, delay until shortly before brewing.
• For the most consistent results, Bonavita recommends measuring coffee by weight, using 10 grams of coffee per cup.
• Measuring coffee by volume is less consistent. For example, two tablespoons of drip grind coffee can weigh between 6 grams of dark roast coffee to 11 grams of light roast coffee. Bonavita recommends beginning with two level tablespoons of drip grind coffee as a starting point with your preferred roast, and adjust according to your taste.
• Keep the filter basket, water tank, and carafe clean.
• For maximum heat retention, we recommend rinsing the carafe with hot water shortly before the brew begins.

DESCALING

• In hard water areas, scaling from limestone content in the water may build up in your brewer. Scaling can lead to extended preparation time and possible damage to your Bonavita coffee brewer.
• The CLEAN button will light up red when descaling is recommended.
• To descale

1. Fill the water tank according to the descaler manufacturer’s instructions. (Fig. a)
2. Press the CLEAN button. A red light will begin to flash. (Fig. b)
3. The descaling process takes about 25 minutes. (Fig. c)
4. When the process is complete, both the red and green lights will turn off.
5. After the descaling process is finished, brew two more times with fresh, clean water. (Fig.d)
   • If you live in an area with above-average limestone content, you may have to descale more frequently than when the CLEAN light goes on. If your brewer shows uncommon loud noise or takes longer than normal to brew, then you should descale.
