This will extend the brewing cycle so
that the water will seep into the ground
coffee slowly enough to yield brewed
coffee that is rich, aromatic and truly
delicious.

automatically switched off when the
appliance shuts off.
Remove the glass carafe when the
brewing process is completed and

The “Stop’n Serve” feature is KRUPS
answer to the impatient coffee
drinker’s clamor for “a quick cup of
coffee!“ This device automatically
stops the flow of brewed coffee
through the filter cone if the glass
carafe is removed from the warming
plate during the brewing cycle. You
have about 20 seconds between the
removal of the carafe and its being
reinserted to allow the service of one
or two cups of coffee. The “Stop’n
Serve” device closes off the filter cone
so effectively that there is virtually no
coffee-drip onto the warming plate
(one drop, at most). Once the carafe is
replaced, the brewing cycle and the
flow of coffee into the carafe are
resumed.
CAUTION:
If coffee does drip onto the warming
plate after removal of the carafe, it is
usually an indication that too much
ground coffee has been placed into the
paper filter. This causes the water that
jets into the filter cone to overflow
between the paper filter and the sides
of the filter cone. The overflow carries
coffee grounds that interfere with the
snap-shut action of the filter holder,
thus allowing brewed coffee to
continue to drip through.
If this blockage and subsequent
dripping do occur, replace the glass
carafe immediately and allow the full
brewing cycle to run its course. Do not
remove the filter until the brewing
cycle is completed.
The KRUPS “Premium” is equipped
with an automatic shut-off feature, that
will turn off the machine 2 hours after
the brewing process has begun (the
red indicator light will turn off).
The appliance can be switched off
manually at any time, however, by
using the ON/OFF switch.
W
The power cord can be tailored to
the length required by utilising the
hidden cord storage located behind
the coffeemaker (figure
11).
