Your machine is designed to deliver the ultimate result in the cup, with that result being highly dependant on 4 basic factors : the water, the coffee, the ratio and the grind. Read more about these important factors on the folowing pages. USING THE MACHINE N° 4 (1X4) 6/7g · Follow the same procedure above however add #4 paper filter to the brew basket(s) and carefully measured amount of ground coffee. (see section titled THE RATIO) · The dual independent brewing systems can produce 2 full 10-cup pots of coffee simultaneously. · Check that the Aroma function switch is set on the "4-max" setting for a normal batch. This function can be switched to the 1-3 cup setting for small batches (see BREWING SMALL BATCHES for more info) · The brew cycle is complete when the water level indicators show the reservoirs have been emptied and the tell-tale sounds of brewing have ceased. · Remove the carafe and its brew basket and discard the used grounds and filter. 6 English · Install the specially designed carafe lids that seal the hot coffee off from the surrounding air and keep precious heat from escaping. Tighten by turning to the right ensuring the lid is seated correctly and the gasket makes a good seal with the carafe. · To pour the lid needs only a 1/4 turn the left. Krups recommends using 7 grams of ground coffee per 5 oz cup of water. 7 grams can be measured in one rounded tablespoon. If the resulting brew seems too strong you can adjust by using slightly less ground coffee. If you prefer a much lighter flavor it is best to brew at the recommended ratio and dilute the resulting brew with a measure of hot water. 8 English This allows the best flavor to be extracted from the beans while avoiding over extraction of too small an amount of ground coffee. THE GRIND The method of grinding and the level of fineness of the grind have a significant impact on the resulting taste of the brewed coffee. Ideally you should grind fresh roasted whole beans just before brewing. Be aware that this machine is set to brew the most common grinds found on store shelves. Typically preground coffees are of a similar size, medium-coarse. A very fine grind will produce much stronger flavors but risks becoming over extracted during the brew cycle producing a more bitter taste.

The brew baskets and thermal carafe lids are diswasher safe.
