6. During and After Brewing:

The Brcn Pause allows vou to remove the carafe from the heater during &id hrew. The brewing process does not stop during this period, only the flow of coffee from the basket. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds or the coffee may overflow the basket. While we offer this feature, we do not recommend you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very different from the coffee brewed at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bot- tom of the carafe will be somcahat stronger than the coffee at the top.

When the brewing cycle is completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee ~~11 continue to stream from the filter for several more seconds.

After brewing, the heater plate will keep the coffee

at about 180-I 85°F. \Ve recommend transferring the coffee to a thermal carafe preheated with hot water if the coffee is not going to be drunk within 20 minutes.
