SETTING UP YOUR

COFFEEMAKER

1. Unwrap cord and plug the coffeemaker into a

grounded outlet. Make sure to remove all stickers

and packing materials from the unit.

2. Place a large cup or mug (10 oz. minimum) on the

drip tray.

3. Remove lid from water reservoir, then lift reservoir

straight up and away from the coffeemaker. Wash

the reservoir with warm soapy water, and rinse.

4. Fill reservoir with water to the 12-cup line and

return with lid to unit (see figure 1).

CHARCOAL WATER

FILTER

Your coffeemaker comes with a charcoal water filter

that eliminates chlorine, bad tastes and odors from tap

water.

Inserting the Water Filter

1. Remove the filter and filter holder from

the polybags.

2. Soak the filter,

fully immersed

in cold tap water,

for 15 minutes.

3. Press down on

the filter com-

partment on the

bottom of the

filter holder and

pull toward you

to open.

4. Place the filter

into the compart-

ment (see figure 2) and snap it closed. Be careful

– improper placement can tear the filter skin.

THE QUEST

FOR THE PERFECT

CUP OF COFFEE

Element 1: WATER

Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water

is as important as the quality of your coffee. If

water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t

taste good in your coffee. Cuisinart includes a

charcoal water filter to remove chlorine, bad

tastes and odors, for the purest coffee flavor,

every time you brew.

Element 2: COFFEE

While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor

comes from the beans. To achieve the same

great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar, you need

to use the same quality of coffee. If you choose

to grind your own beans, buy them fresh and

whole. Grind only about a two-week supply at a

time, because once the bean is broken, its flavor

degrades quickly.

Element 3: GRIND

The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction.

If the grind is too fine, over-extraction and bit-

terness will result. Too fine a grind may also

clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water

will pass through too quickly and the maximum

flavor will not be extracted. When grinding your

own beans, we recommend a medium grind.

Element 4: PROPORTION

Add 1 scoop of ground coffee (1 scoop = 1

tablespoon = ~6 grams) per cup (1 cup = 5 fl.

oz.). You may wish to adjust this amount accord-

ing to your personal taste. Do not use more than

16 scoops (16 tablespoons).
