Using the Coffee Maker
PAUSE AND SERVE:
To serve coffee during the
brewing cycle, remove carafe
and pour a cup. By removing the
carafe, the flow of coffee from
the bottom of the filter basket will
stop.
w WARNING
Burn Hazard. The
carafe must be replaced within
20 seconds of being removed to
prevent overflow.
Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans,
or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more
expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans.
If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest
expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium
grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly
ground coffee within about a week of grinding.

NOTE: Your glass carafe coffee maker is equipped with a 2-hour
automatic shutoff. If not turned off, the unit will keep the coffee warm
for 2 hours, then automatically turn off. Thermal carafe models shut
off immediately after finishing brewing.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield
better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of grounds for each cup
of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
(3/4 tablespoon [11.1 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also
cause the filter basket to overflow.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See "Care and Cleaning"
section.
