THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:

Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste any better in your coffee. That’s why Cuisinart has added a water filter to the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, for the purest cup of coffee every time.

Element 2: Coffee
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavors should be from the coffee. To achieve the same great quality cup of coffee you receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality beans. Buy the beans fresh and whole, only about two weeks’ supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades very quickly. That’s why the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker grinds your coffee just prior to brewing. If it is not practical to buy small supplies, we recommend you separate larger amounts of beans into one to two week portions immediately after purchase, and freeze them in airtight containers. The best way to maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light, and moisture. So, once beans have been removed from the freezer, maintain them in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation occurs every time the beans are removed from the freezer or refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts advise against freezing dark-roast beans because freezing can cause the oils to coagulate. Other experts disagree. We suggest you experiment and decide for yourself.

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 desired flavors will not be extracted. The Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal  Coffeemaker is preset for a medium grind, the optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.
Element 4: Proportion
The Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker makes up to twelve cups (54 oz.) of coffee.
Using Whole Beans
We recommend refilling the hopper after two full pots of coffee have been brewed. Be sure that you have a sufficient amount of beans in your hopper for the amount of coffee you intend to brew.
NOTE : The maximum capacity for whole beans is ½ lb. — enough for over two 12-cup pots of coffee.
Using Pre-Ground Coffee
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole beans, you can make coffee in the Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker using pre-ground beans. To do so, turn off the grinder by pressing the Grind Off button before turning on the unit.
Our recipe
We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount to your taste.
NOTE : The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.

g. Replace the water filter holder in the reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit, along the reservoir wall.

NOTE : We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or 60 uses or more often if you have hard water.
Replacement water filters can be purchased in stores or by calling customer service or through the Cuisinart website.

MAKING COFFEE WITH WHOLE BEANS

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues which will remain in the system from the manufacturing process. Note: Allow the grinder to grind free of beans for this process.

1. Fill the Water Reservoir
   Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe to overflow.

2. Add Beans
   Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the hopper with beans. We recommend keeping the hopper at least halfway full. Be sure that you have a sufficient amount of beans in your hopper for the amount of coffee you intend to brew (maximum capacity is ½ lb. Do not overpack the hopper. Over- packing may result in jamming the grinder.)For easy filling, the hopper container can be taken out by turning the hopper container release knob to the unlock position.
   Note : Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction. Put the hopper lid back in place.

3. Lock Hopper
   If you have removed the hopper from the unit, be sure that the hopper container release knob is in the unlocked position and place the hopper container back in the unit.
   Turn the knob to locked position.
   This unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The unit will not grind if the hopper container is not in place. If you try to turn on the unit for grinding with the hopper out of place, the unit will beep continuously until the missing part is installed.
   The brewing process can be restarted by pressing the On button. Restarting the process will not affect coffee results.

4. Insert Coffee Filter
   Open filter door by pressing filter basket door release button. Remove filter basket cover and place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s commercial- style permanent filter in the basket.

Note : When using our permanent filter, be sure that the handle is positioned toward the front of the unit. If you do not, the handle may interfere with the flow of coffee into the filter basket.

Also note : Using our permanent gold-tone filter will allow some fine coffee grounds to fall into the carafe.
When using a paper filter, be sure that the filter is completely open while touching the side walls and bottom of the basket.
Put filter basket cover in place. Close filter door. (You will hear a click if the door is properly shut.)
The unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The unit will not operate if the filter basket cover or filter basket are not in place or if the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn the unit on while the filter compartment is out of place, the unit will beep continuously until the missing part(s) are installed.

Before Brewing Coffee

Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE COFFEE HOTTER.

Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the lid, turn in the direction of the lock arrow until it fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the center of the pour spout. This ensures that the lid is closed and in the proper position for brewing and pouring.

Make sure you have replaced the thermal carafe in it’s position on the resting plate and closed the top cover.

5. Brewing
A. Immediate Grinding and Brewing

1. Turn the Grind Control Knob to set the number of cups you want to brew. The coffeemaker will grind the corresponding amount of beans. The unit will automatically adjust for low cup settings.
2. Press the Strength Control button to set coffee strength. MILD, MED, or STRONG will show on the LCD display.
3. Press the On button. The indicator will light and the process will begin.

B. Programmed Brewing

Press the Program button. The indicator will light and the display will show the programmed time for as long as the button is depressed. The display reverts back to time of day once the button is released. (To set the programmed time, see Programming Your Coffeemaker on page 8.)

1. Turn the Grind Control knob to set the number of cups you want to brew. The coffeemaker will grind the corresponding amount of beans. The unit will automatically adjust for low cup settings.
2. Press the Strength Control button to set coffee strength. MILD, MED or STRONG will show on the LCD display.
3. The coffeemaker will begin brewing at the programmed time.

6. During and After Brewing
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove the carafe from the resting plate during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop during this period; only the flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 20 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 flavor profile that is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot. When the brewing cycle is completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. After brewing, the unit will automatically shut itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the coffee hot for hours.
The bottom of the thermal carafe is hot to touch for several minutes after brewing. Use caution.

MAKING COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND BEANS

Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew™ Thermal Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once, using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues that remain in the system from the manufacturing process.

1. Fill the Water Reservoir
   Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired amount of water in the reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12cup line. Doing so may cause the carafe to overflow.

2. Add Coffee Grounds
   a. Open filter door. Add ground coffee to our permanent or #4 paper filter. Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to your individual taste.
   b. Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.
   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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.
Always turn the coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
After every use, open the filter basket door by pressing the filter basket door release button. Remove filter basket cover, filter basket, and gold-tone filter or paper filter. Discard ground coffee and paper filter.
The filter, filter basket, and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
Remove the carafe from the heating plate.  Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly.
We suggest cleaning the hopper and coffee chute every 1-2 weeks depending on the frequency of use.
To clean the hopper, remove the hopper container and lid by turning the hopper container release knob to the unlocked position. Discard any leftover coffee beans.
The hopper container and hopper container lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
NOTE : Do not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been removed. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction.
Wipe the area under the hopper container with a damp cloth.
The coffee channel cover can be flipped back for easy cleaning of the coffee chute. Push the coffee channel cover tab away from you and lift up. Use the brush to remove any ground coffee that remains. Brush grounds toward you (when facing the unit head-on) and pull the grind chute lever toward you to send grounds through the chute. Be sure the filter basket is in place to catch the grounds.
NOTE : Failing to properly clean the coffee chute may lead to grinding accumulations which can result in weak-tasting coffee.
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse base unit in water or other liquid. To clean the base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe the heating plate with a clean, damp cloth. Never use rough, abrasive materials or cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

DECALCIFICATION

Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form overtime on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker.

To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1⁄³ of white vinegar and ²⁄³ water. Press the Grind Off button, and turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the On button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, turn the coffeemaker off. Repeat operation, this time using fresh cold water.
