TCM14B/BE Use and Care Guide
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 finely
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. Overextraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a
need to clean your Coffeemaker.
Brewing Coffee Instructions
1. Be sure Power Select Button is in the OFF (O) position.
2. Plug Coffeemaker into any 120 Volt, AC electrical outlet.
3. Fill Glass Carafe with cold tap water to the correct line
indicating the desired number of cups. Markings on the
Glass Carafe indicate level of water required to brew desired
number of cups. No less than two cups is recommended.
4. Lift the Water Reservoir & Filter Cover and carefully pour
into Water Reservoir. Close Cover.
NOTE: The amount of brewed coffee will always be less than
the amount of water placed into Coffeemaker, since about
10% is absorbed by coffee grounds and filter.
5. Place a #4 paper cone-shaped filter or Permanent Filter in
the Removable Filter Basket.
6. Measure one level tablespoon of
drip or regular grind coffee for
each cup of coffee desired. You
may choose to brew your coffee
with a stronger brew strength. To
do so, adjust the Brew Strength
Control Dial located on the top
of the unit. The illustration
indicates a stronger or lighter
brew strength. (See Figure 2)
