ELEMENTS TO BREW THE PERFECT CUP

Water Quality: A great cup of coffee starts with fresh, quality water. Since water represents more than 98% of brewed coffee, it is just as important as the coffee quality itself. The water you use should taste like fresh, good-quality drinking water, have an odorless aroma, and contain no visible impurities.
Grind Selection: The particle size of the coffee grind is vital for ensuring proper flavor and extraction. A coffee grind that is too coarse will allow water to pass through too quickly without proper extraction. A coffee grind that is too fine will lead to over-extraction and produce a bitter taste. Your Mill & Brew™ coffee maker comes with a Grind setting to select the optimal grind, correlating with the number of cups to be brewed and ensuring proper grind size for this type of coffee maker.
Coffee Freshness: A truly fresh cup of coffee only comes from freshly ground coffee beans. In fact, once a coffee bean is broken or ground, its flavor will begin to degrade over time. Your Mill & Brew coffee maker maximizes the freshness of your coffee by grinding the coffee beans just prior to brewing.
Proper Proportion: It is important to use the proper coffee-to-water ratio to produce a finished brew that isn’t too strong or weak. When using whole coffee beans or pre-ground coffee, we recommend using 1 tablespoon for every 1 cup of brewed coffee. This proportion may be adjusted to suit your individual taste, or try the Brew Strength Selector to customize your flavor!

BREWING COFFEE

2. Close the water reservoir cover and place the carafe on the Keep Hot carafe plate.
3. (a) Open the grinder lid using the lift latch and (b) add the desired amount of coffee into the 2-in-1 Grinder and Permanent Filter.

5. Make sure the coffee maker is plugged into a standard electrical outlet.
6. (a) If using whole beans, push the GRIND button to cycle through and select the optimal grind setting (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) correlating with the number of cups to be brewed.
   (b) If using ground coffee, push the GRIND button to cycle through the grind settings until you reach the symbol to turn the grinder OFF for brewing pre-ground coffee.
7. To set the Auto Brew delay start, adjustable auto-off, and Brew Strength Selector, follow the detailed instructions in the “Programming your Mill & Brew” coffee maker section.
8. Press the ON-OFF/Power Button just once to begin the brew cycle. If using whole beans, the brew cycle will automatically start after grinding.
9. The Sneak-A-Cup™ feature allows you to pour a cup of coffee before the brewing cycle is complete. The carafe must be placed back into the coffeemaker within 20 seconds to prevent overflow. Replacing the carafe will restart the brewing process.
