4 ELEMENTS TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

A great cup of coffee starts with fresh, filtered water. Since water represents more than 98% of brewed coffee, it is just as important as the coffee quality itself. The water you use should taste like fresh, good-quality drinking water, have an odorless aroma, and contain no visible impurities. Filtered water will limit impurities and excessive minerals that can detrimentally impact coffee flavor and machine performance.

Even saturation of your coffee grounds is vital for ensuring proper flavor and extraction. Some coffee makers simply drip water down the center of the brew basket, which leads to over-extraction in the center of the coffee grounds and under-extraction on the perimeter. This coffeemaker features a Vortex™Showerhead, providing even saturation of the coffee grounds for optimal water flow and maximum flavor.

A truly fresh cup of coffee only comes from freshly ground coffee beans. In fact, once a coffee bean is broken or ground, its flavor will begin to degrade over time. Maximize the freshness of your coffee by grinding coffee beans just prior to brewing.

It is important to use the proper coffee-to-water ratio to produce a finished brew that isn’t too strong or weak. We recommend using 1 tablespoon of ground coffee for every 1 cup of brewed coffee. You may adjust this proportion to suit your individual taste, or try the Brew Strength Selector to customize your flavor!

TIPS FOR A PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE

  • To maximize the freshness of your coffee, grind whole coffee beans just before brewing.
  • Always use fresh, cold, clean water in your coffee maker. The water you use should have an odorless aroma and contain no visible impurities.
  • Use spring water or filtered water, not distilled water which lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements of coffee.
  • A clean coffee maker is always important. Regular cleaning is required for the best-tasting coffee.
  • Always keep the lid on your thermal carafe after brewing. The carafe is double-wall insulated and vacuum-sealed to help keep your coffee hot andfresh for hours.
  • Fill the carafe with hot tap water and empty it before brewing, which will warm up the carafe and help keep coffee at the brewed temperature.
  • Always use fresh, cold, clean water in your coffee maker. The water you use should have an odorless aroma and contain no visible impurities.
  • Use spring water or filtered water, not distilled water which lacks the minerals necessary to bind to elements of coffee.
  • A clean coffee maker is always important. Regular cleaning is required for the best-tasting coffee.
  • Always keep the lid on your thermal carafe after brewing. The carafe is double-wall insulated and vacuum-sealed to help keep your coffee hot andfresh for hours.

USING THE CARAFEA. Lid in the closed/locked position. Press button on handle before pouring.B. Lid in the unlocked position.C.

DESCALING WITH THE AUTO CLEAN™ FUNCTIONWith regular use, minerals and hard water can clog your coffee maker. A full cleaning with vinegar is recommended once a month. To notify you that itis time to descale with vinegar, after 60 brew cycles or when calcification is sensed, “CLEAN” should scroll across the display three times. The “CLEAN”word will continue to blink before each brew until the descaling process is completed. If the machine is extremely calcified it may require multiple cleaning cycles to clear the “CLEAN” warning.

  1. Pour white vinegar into the water reservoir up to the 5-cup mark on the water window. Add cold water up to the 12-cup mark.
  2. Put a basket-shaped paper filter in the brew basket and close the cover. Set the empty carafe on the carafe plate.
  3. Press the CLEAN button to start the Auto Clean™ function. The entire cleaning process will take 45-60 minutes to complete.
  4. During the Auto Clean™ process, the coffee maker will:– Brew 5 cups of the vinegar/water mixture first– Pause for about 30 minutes– After the pause, it will brew the remainder of the vinegar/water mixture
  5. Once the process is complete, empty the carafe and discard the paper filter.
  6. Fill the water reservoir with cold water to the 12-cup line: replace the empty carafe on the carafe plate and then turn ON the coffeemaker for a complete brewing cycle to flush out the remaining vinegar/water mixture. You may want to repeat this step to completely remove the vinegar smell and taste
  7. Wash the brew basket and carafe as shown in CARE AND CLEANING.
  8. If your machine is heavily calcified, the “CLEAN” warning may remain activated after cleaning. In this case, repeat cleaning.
