GOLD: An optimized brew, certified by the
Specialty Coffee Association to be perfectly
balanced. This selection will brew your coffee
to the rigorous standards of the SCA, meeting
requirements for total dissolved solids and
extraction percentage. For GOLD brews, the
temperature is not adjustable.
LIGHT: A brew designed to create lighter
flavors with slightly more acidity.
MEDIUM: A balanced brew that is slightly
sweeter, with a smoother body and some
distinctive characteristics of the original coffee.
BOLD: A full-bodied, flavorful brew with more
intense aromas, and clearer elements of the
original roast.
One you have chosen your brew preferences,
start your brew with the Brew Button. The
screen will display each stage of the brewing
process: Starting, Grinding, Heating, Infusing,
Brewing, and then Ready. The brew process
takes about 4-6 minutes from start to finish, but
time varies based on grind size, brew volume,
and brew temperature.
Once you find your perfect brew, you can save
up to three of your favorite brew cycles using
the

brew cycles easily using the Favorites button
