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)

Pause ’N Serve

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.

10-Cup Removable Water Reservoir
