USING THE COFFEE MAKER
PAUSE AND POUR FEATURE
The "Pause and pour" feature enables you to remove the carafe from the Coffee Maker and
pour a cup of coffee before brewing is finished. When the carafe is removed, a special valve
stops the flow of coffee from the brew basket. However, brewing does not stop.
If the carafe is not placed back in the Coffee Maker within 25 seconds, water and coffee
grounds will overflow the brew basket.
TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS
QUICK TIPS
Fresh Coffee Beans: Truly great coffee can only come from fresh coffee beans. To preserve
the freshness of your beans, keep them in an opaque, airtight container and store in a cool,
dry place. Refrigeration is not recommended since 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 flavor.
The Right Grind: The best cup of coffee comes from coffee beans that are properly ground
just before brewing. When grinding, be sure to grind your coffee to a medium grind level, the
appropriate grind for automatic drip Coffee Makers. Look for KitchenAid

Coffee Grinders at
your local retailer or online at www.KitchenAid.com.
The Proper Amount of Ground Coffee: Using the right dosage for coffee and water is critical
for obtaining great results. Use the markings provided in the gold tone filter and the dosage
guide at the back of the water tank as a reference and adjust as per taste. Finer grinds usually
require less coffee but may also produce bitterness and clog the filter. For weaker coffee, brew
using the suggested dosage of coffee grounds and water, then dilute with hot water. This
maximizes flavor and minimizes bitterness.
Brew Water Purity: Great tasting coffee starts with fresh water. The removable water tank
is easy to fill with water to give you great tasting coffee every time. It's also easy to clean so
you can always make your coffee with the freshest water. Where local water is extremely poor,
you may wish to use bottled water. Do not use distilled water or mineral water since they can
damage your Coffee Maker.
Coffee Maker Cleanliness: Since the coffee oils that build up on the brew basket and carafe
can go stale and impair the flavor of the brewed coffee, it's important that these two items are
cleaned daily in order to make the best tasting coffee.
Consumption of Fresh Brewed Coffee: It is recommended to consume brewed coffee within
30 minutes from completion of the brewing cycle to get the great rich taste.
