INTRODUCTION Congratulations. You've just purchased a coffeemaker that will make you want to retire your alarm clock! Wake up, instead, to the rich aroma of freshly ground, just brewed coffee, with the Cuisinart® Grind & Brew™ Automatic Coffeemaker. One of the Premier Series, this deluxe 12-cup model offers the best of Cuisinart's expert coffeemaking technology to deliver unsurpassed ease of use and rich full-bodied coffee flavor. With streamlined European styling and a graceful carafe, it's a beautiful addition to any kitchen. The Grind & Brew™ Coffeemaker features a separate grinding assembly and filter chamber to make beans easy to add and used grounds easy to remove. A convenient "grind off" control turns the grinder off when preground coffee is used. Fully programmable, this is the ultimate user-friendly coffeemaker. Simply add beans and water, set the flavor control to 1-4 or 5+ cups, and program start time up to 24 hours in advance. An auto-shutoff feature even lets you set the unit to turn off up to 4 hours after the brew cycle ends. A charcoal water filter and a permanent commercial-style gold tone coffee filter allow only pure coffee flavor to flow through, and the popular Brew Pause™ feature lets you sneak a cup before the cycle is finished. Dishwasher safe parts. Separate grind and filter chambers for easy cleanup. The freshest tasting coffee outside of a coffee bar. What more could a coffee lover ask for?
