SNEAK-A-CUP® FEATURE

The Sneak-A-Cup® feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee from the carafe while the coffee is brewing. When the carafe is removed, the brewing process is paused. Simply replace the carafe on the carafe plate within 30 seconds and brewing resumes.

COFFEE BREWING TIPS

•Stir coffee in carafe before serving to evenly distribute the flavor.

•Coffee that is poured during brewing cycle may vary in strength from the finished brew.

•Not sure how much coffee to use? Begin by using 1 level tablespoon of medium grind coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed.

•For variety, add a 2-inch piece of lemon or orange peel to the coffee grounds before brewing.

•For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of hazel nut, chocolate or almond liqueur. Use to top off each cup of coffee.

•Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl. You’ll be surprised at how good it tastes.

•Keep your coffeemaker scrupulously clean; you will be pleased with the flavor.
