The styling is streamlined, with an elegance that only comes from stainless steel. The Brew Central ThermalTM is a statement about how serious you are about your coffee – and your kitchen. Enjoy full programmability, extreme ease of use, and coffee that stays hot for hours in the elegant, double-wall thermal carafe! 3 THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee: Element 1: Water Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn’t taste good from the tap, it won’t taste any better in your coffee. That’s why Cuisinart has added a water filter to the Brew Central ThermalTM Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes chlorine, calcium, bad tastes and odours, for the purest cup of coffee every time. Element 2: Coffee While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavour should be from the coffee. To achieve the same great quality cup of coffee you receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality beans. If you choose to grind your own beans, buy the beans fresh and whole, only about a two-week supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its flavour degrades very quickly. If it is not practical to buy small supplies, we recommend you separate larger amounts of beans into one- to two-week portions immediately after purchasing, and freeze them in airtight containers. The best way to maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light and moisture. So, once removed from the freezer, beans should be maintained in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation occurs every time the beans are removed from the freezer or refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts advise against freezing dark-roast beans because this can cause the oils to coagulate, while other experts disagree. We suggest you experiment and decide for yourself. Element 3: Grind The grind is critical for proper flavour extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog your filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavours will not be extracted. We recommend a medium-fine grind. Element 4: Proportion The cups on the Cuisinart® coffeemaker are 5 ounces (148 ml). Add the amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the number of cups being brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty Coffee Association of America recommend adding 2 rounded tablespoons (30 ml) of coffee per 6 ounces (170 ml) of water. Some coffee manufac- turers recommend using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) per cup. We recommend using 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of ground coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit your taste. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons (225 ml) for this 12-cup (1.8 L) coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. 4 FEATURES AND BENEFITS 1. Reservoir Cover Flips back for easy filling. 2. Water Reservoir 3.

Brew PauseTM Stops flow of coffee from basket when carafe is removed (30 seconds max) from the resting plate, so a cup can be poured in mid-brew. Since the flavour extraction rate varies during the brew cycle, we recommend allowing the brewing cycle to finish before pouring the coffee. 14.
