Brew Pause™ Feature Our Brew Pause™ feature interrupts the flow of coffee from the basket to let you pour that "first" cup mid-brew. Be aware that using this feature will weaken the flavor strength of the finished pot, because the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle differs from coffee made at the end. NOTE: Removing carafe for more than 20 seconds may cause filter basket to overflow. TIPS AND HINTS • If you buy large portions of beans, separate them into one- or two-week portions and store them in airtight containers in the freezer. Preserve freshness by minimizing exposure to air, light, and moisture. Once beans are removed from the freezer, keep them in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation can occur when beans move from cold to warmer temperatures. • Some experts feel freezing dark-roasted beans can cause oils to coagulate; others disagree. You'll have to decide that one for yourself! CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE Always turn coffeemaker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. After every use, remove the filter basket and permanent or paper filter. Discard coffee 10
