MAKING COFFEE Follow instructions in BEFORE BREWING YOUR FIRST POT OF COFFEE (page 8). 1. Fill the water reservoir Lift the coffee brewer lid to open. Pour the desired amount of water into the water reservoir using the water level indicator located at the front of the coffee brewer. 2. Add the ground coffee Insert a #4 paper filter, the stainless steel etched filter, or a gold tone filter. If using a paper filter, be sure that the paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1-1½ level scoops (tablespoons) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 11 tablespoons for this coffee brewer. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. 3. Position carafe and plug in unit Place carafe on resting plate. Make sure filter basket is securely in place and lid is completely closed. Plug coffee brewer into an electrical outlet. 4. Set preferences a. Press MENU once to get to STRENGTH. Use up/down arrows to choose MILD, MEDIUM or BOLD. Press MENU again to set and you will be moved to the next setting. b. You are now on TEMP. Use up/down arrows to select HOT or X-HOT. Press MENU to set. 5. Start brewing Press the BREW/OFF button to begin brewing, the button will illuminate. 6. After brewing When the brew cycle is complete, 5 beeps will sound. Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening.

SCAA Approved! Cuisinart's high standards have passed the tests of the Specialty Coffee Association of America. Our Cuisinart® PurePrecision Pour-Over Thermal Coffee Brewer proudly carries their seal of approval, having met the SCAA's rigorous technical requirements for exemplary home brewers. For more information on SCAA go to: http://www.scaa.org Blooming After coffee grounds are evenly showered with water heated to the ideal brewing temperature, the unit pauses to let the flavor bloom before proceeding with the brewing process. Brew Pause™ Feature This feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that first cup mid-brew. Because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the start of a cycle differs from that brewed toward the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing the carafe for more than 20 seconds during brew cycle may cause filter basket to overflow. 9
