After brewing When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. 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 towards the end, be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. using the hot water system Follow instructions in Before First Use on previous page. 1.
