MAKING COFFEE
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your
new Cuisinart
®
Grind & BrewThermal
™
Automatic coffeemaker, we recommend oper-
ating the coffeemaker once, using only water
and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or
residues which remain in the system from
the manufacturing process.
1. Fill the Water Reservoir
Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release
button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount
of water in the reservoir using the step water
indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.
2. Add Beans
Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess on
either side. Fill the basket with the desired
quantity of beans.
(Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup.
For 1 to 4 cups, use 1-1/2 level scoops per
cup. Maximum capacity is 14 level scoops.
Do not overfill or the grinder could
malfunction and/or the coffeemaker
may overflow. This is our suggested recipe.
Adjust the recipe to taste.)
3. Open Filter Door
Place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s
®
commercial style permanent filter in
the basket.
Note: When using the Cuisinart filter, be
sure that the filter handle is facing away
from the grinder basket. If you do not do
so, the handle may interfere with the flow
of ground coffee into the filter basket.
Also note: a permanent filter may allow
some ground coffee to flow into carafe.
The filter holder will help to keep the filter
open, but when using a paper filter, be sure
that the filter is completely open while
touching the side walls and bottom of
the basket.
Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.
