While we offer this feature, we do not recommend that you pour coffee before the cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the beginning of the cycle has a flavour profile which is very different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavour of the finished pot.
