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.

MAKING COFFEE Before you make the first pot of coffee in your new Cuisinart® Brew Central ThermalTM Coffeemaker, we recommend operating the coffeemaker once using only water and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or residues that remain in the system from the manufacturing process.. 1. Insert the Water Filter a. Remove the filter from polybag and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes. b.
Note: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15 tablespoons (225 ml) for this coffeemaker. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. Replace the filter basket in the filter basket holder and flip the water reservoir cover closed. Press firmly on top cover to be sure that it closes securely. Before brewing coffee Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe by rinsing it out with hot water.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Always turn coffeemaker OFF and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning. Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove and discard the paper filter and ground coffee. The filter basket can be washed in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after use. Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the filter basket with a damp cloth.
