Coffee Brewing Suggestions:
Fresh Coffee Beans
Truly great coffee can only come from
fresh coffee beans. To preserve the
freshness of your coffee beans, keep the
beans in an opaque, air-tight container
and store them in a cool, dry place.
Refrigeration is not recommended, as
condensation tends to form on the
beans whenever the container is opened.
Freezing can help preserve beans stored
for an extended period, but it will also
impair the flavor.
The Right Grind
The best cup of coffee comes from
coffee beans that are properly ground

NOTE: To cancel automatic brewing,
deactivate the brew timer by pressing the
Auto On Button. When deactivated, the
Auto On indicator light will go out.

to pressing Auto On button, the coffee

page 10).

THE CLEANING NEEDED INDICATOR

Calcium deposits ("scale") from water will
build up in the Coffee Maker heat pump
over time and impair brewing efficiency
and coffee quality. When the Coffee
Maker detects a build-up of scale, the
cleaning needed indicator will light after
a brewing cycle is complete. Once this
occurs, descaling should be done as soon
as possible to preserve the performance
and life of your Coffee Maker. Please see
page 12 for descaling steps.
just before brewing. Grinders like the
KitchenAid Blade Coffee Grinder, Pro Line
®
Series Burr Coffee Mill, or the KitchenAid
Model A-9 Coffee Mill offer excellent
®
results. When grinding, be sure to grind
your coffee to a medium grind level – the
appropriate grind for automatic drip
coffee makers.
The Proper Amount
of Ground Coffee
A good starting point is one scoop
of coffee for every cup of brew water
marked on the carafe or the water filter
guide. Finer grinds usually require less
coffee, but may also produce bitterness
and clog the filter.
