than 30 seconds or the coffee may overflow the basket. While we offer this feature, we do not recommend that you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavour profile which is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot.

Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavours. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.

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

After brewing, the heater plate will keep the coffee at about 180°-185°F. We recommend transferring the coffee to a thermal carafe preheated with hot water, if the coffee is not going to be drunk within 20 minutes.

TO MAKE COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND BEANS:

Follow step #1 from Making Coffee

section on page 9 then continue as follows:

2.Open filter door. Add ground coffee to

our permanent or #4 basket paper filter. Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe according to your individual taste.

NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.

3.Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.

4.Follow instructions 5 through 8 from the Making Coffee section.

5.Press the “Grind Off” button. When this function is activated, an amber LED will be illuminated. Then press the “ON” button.
