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
12-cup 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.
3. Brewing
