automatically shut-off after 2 hours.
Hints For Great Tasting Coffee
•A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular
cleaning, as specified in “User Maintenance Instructions” is highly recommended.
Always use fresh, cool water in your Coffeemaker. Finer grinds, such as drip and
ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee. Regular
grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength of a finer
grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly
sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. For optimum coffee, buy whole
beans and grind them just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction
of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily
roasted coffees are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a
need to clean your Coffeemaker.
