THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
Element 1: WATER
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water
is as important as the quality of your coffee. If
water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't
taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a
charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad
tastes and odors, for the purest coffee flavor,
every time you brew.
Element 2: COFFEE
While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor
comes from the beans. To achieve the same
great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need
to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose
to grind your own beans, buy them fresh and
whole. Grind only about a two-week supply at a
time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor
degrades quickly.
Element 3: GRIND
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction.
If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bit-
terness will result. Too fine a grind may also
clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water
will pass through too quickly and the maximum
flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your
own beans, we recommend a medium grind.
Element 4: PROPORTION
Add 1 scoop of ground coffee (1 scoop = 1
tablespoon = ~6 grams) per cup (1 cup = 5 fl.
oz.). You may wish to adjust this amount accord-
ing to your personal taste. Do not use more than
14 scoops (14 tablespoons).
SETTING UP YOUR
COFFEEMAKER
1. Unwrap cord and plug the coffeemaker into a
grounded outlet. Make sure to remove all stickers
and packing materials from the unit.
2. Place a large cup or mug (10 oz. minimum) on the
drip tray.
3. Remove lid from water reservoir, then lift reservoir
straight up and away from the coffeemaker. Wash
the reservoir with warm soapy water, and rinse.
4. Fill reservoir with water to the 12-cup line and
return with lid to unit (see figure 1).

CHARCOAL WATER
FILTER
Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter that
eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap water.

Inserting the Water Filter

1. Remove the filter and filter holder from
the polybags.
2. Soak the filter, fully immersed in cold tap water, for
15 minutes.
3. Press down on
the filter com-
partment on the
bottom of the
filter holder and
pull toward you
to open.
4. Place the filter
into the compart-
ment (see figure
2) and snap it
closed. Be careful
– improper place-
ment can tear the filter skin.
