If using a blade-type coffee grinder,
shake it occasionally during grinding to
redistribute the whole beans for a more
uniform grind. Experiment to find the
right grind for your coffeemaker and
taste. If the beans are ground too finely,
it will produce a bitter taste. If ground
too coarsely the coffee will taste weak
and watery.
Some specialty coffees recommend
using more than one tablespoon of
ground coffee per cup. Your new
coffeemaker is designed to brew good
quality coffee using less amounts of
ground coffee. One level tablespoon of
ground coffee per cup is recommended.
Of course, the amount of ground
coffee used depends upon your
personal preference.
The quality of your drinking water will
affect the flavor of your coffee. If you
do not drink water straight from the
tap, do not use it to make coffee. If your
water has an off-taste or smell, or if you
have extremely hard water, use bottled
drinking water or filtered water to make
coffee. If the water is from the tap, it
should be freshly drawn and cold for
the best coffee flavor.
Automatic coffeemakers generally use
a 5-ounce cup size. The coffeemaker’s
carafe and reservoir are marked in
“cups” for easy measuring.
Try different flavored coffees and
flavored creamers available at supermarkets
or specialty coffee stores. Regular coffee
can be flavored at home. Add a sprinkle
of cinnamon* or a drop of a pure
extract–like almond, vanilla, or mint–to
the ground coffee before brewing. For a
mocha flavor, stir a spoon of chocolate
syrup or instant cocoa mix to each cup
of brewed coffee.
* (Too much cinnamon may clog the
filter causing basket overflow.)
Optional Features
(available on selected models)
10-Cup Removable Water Reservoir
Please wash before first use. Hand
wash or place in
top rack of
automatic
dishwasher. The
10-cup reservoir
can be removed
for easy filling
or occasional
washing. Simply
flip open
reservoir
cover
and raise the removable reservoir han-
dle. Lift out the removable reservoir and
fill with water to desired level. Carefully
place removable reservoir back into the
coffeemaker’s reservoir. Make sure the
removable reservoir is fully seated for
proper water flow. When using the
removable reservoir it is only possible to
make a 10-cup pot of coffee, as the
water level marks indicate. To make a
full 12-cup carafe, remove the remov-
able reservoir and fill the coffeemaker’s
reservoir.
This feature allows you to pour a cup of
coffee before the entire brew cycle has
completed. By removing the carafe, the
flow of coffee from the bottom of the
filter basket will stop.
CAUTION: The carafe should be replaced
within 20 seconds. The flow of coffee
will resume when carafe is returned to
the Keep-Hot Plate.
