Brewing CoffeeFollow instructions in “Before First Use” at the beginning of instructions. 1. Insert charcoal water filter Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter (see above illustration). 2. Fill the water reservoir Open the coffeemaker reservoir cover by lifting it up. Pour in the desired amount of water using the water level indicator located at the side of the coffeemaker. 3. Set preferences a. Push the 1-4 cup button if you are brewing fewer than 5 cups. b. Turn the Carafe Temperature dial to low (L), medium (M), or high (H) and heater plate will keep coffee at the temperature you select. 4. Add the ground coffee Remove the filter basket by grasping the handle and lifting straight up. Insert a #4 paper filter or permanent filter. Be sure that a paper filter is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of a paper filter beforehand. Add 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the amount according to taste. 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 press firmly on cover to be sure it closes securely. 5. Before brewing coffee Make sure the glass carafe is in position on the heating plate and the top cover is closed. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 6. Power unit Turn the Function knob to Brew, press the On/Off button, and the blue indicator light will turn on. Or, set the Auto On function and the Auto On indicator will light. 7. After brewing When the brewing cycle has been completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds. Note: Reservoir cover may be hot during and directly after brewing. Wait at least 10 minutes before opening. Using The Hot Water System: Follow instructions in “Before First Use” at the beginning of instructions. 1. Insert charcoal water filter Follow directions for the preparation and insertion of the filter. 2. Fill the water reservoir Open the Hot Water reservoir cover by lifting it up. Fill the reservoir with water, making sure not to fill above the Max fill line. 3. Heating Press the On/Off button on the Hot Water side of your unit. The blue On indicator around the On/Off button will light. The Water Ready indicator will flash while the unit is heating. Once the unit has heated, the Water Ready indicator will become solid. 4. Dispensing Water To dispense water, be sure the safety switch, which is located below the lever, is in the unlocked position. Simply slide the safety switch to the left to unlock. Then place a cup on the drip tray and press the lever down – the unit dispenses up to 13 ounces of hot water at a time. If desired, return the safety lock to the locked position (to the right) after dispensing water. Note: You can remove the drip tray to accommodate tall mugs. 5. After dispensing The heater will immediately begin heating more water. The Water Ready indicator will again flash until water reaches serving temperature. Note: The red Add Water indicator will light if more water is needed. 6. Turning off Hot Water System To turn off your Hot Water maker at any time, press the On/Off button. The On indicator will turn off, but the Water Ready indicator will remain lit until water has cooled below serving temperature. For more information, please contact our Customer Service Centre. |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It takes the hot water about 5 minutes to heat up to ready and then I let the tea steep for well over 5 minutes and it was still VERY watery tasting with not much flavor. We will stick to making our tea the old fashioned way.
That being said, the coffee machine is absolutely fantastic at making coffee. The flavor is spot on. Honestly the best coffee we have had in years. I'm giving this a 5 stars just based on that alone.
If the Hot Water System is a must then I would avoid this machine if I were you.
I really like the hot water on demand for teas and hot chocolate etc. I drink coffee everyday, and my spouse drinks tea. So it's a perfect marriage with this machine! Compared to the last coffee maker we had, this makes such a great cup of coffee! Very smooth tasting, which I think the cone filter helps with. And I love that you can adjust the hot plate from low, medium or high! The other features are great, which I quite liked on our other Cuisinart coffee maker. The Clean button, the brewing of 1-4 cups button and of course the timer.
This machine does beep five times when brewing is done, and beeps again when the machine turns off. I quite like that, and compared to our other Cuisinart coffee maker --the beeps are much quieter on this machine!
I thought the coffee side of the machine would be difficult to fill with water, but I've never spilled any, thanks to the great carafe. I've had many carafes that leak coffee out the sides, but this one is easy to control! Some people might not like that you have to remove the lid to fill with water, but I like that instead of a leaky swing top lid.
It looks very attractive on my counter, next to our Cuisinart Burr grinder!
I highly recommend this product and I hope Cuisinart continues to make this great Coffeemaker and Hot Water system!
Anyway, while the new model has nicer LED buttons and a slightly sleeker look, it has all the features that I liked in the earlier model:
1. Brews great coffee with various modes depending how much you're making
2. Adjustable hotplate, I keep it on low so it doesn't burn the coffee if it sits for a bit
3. The tea maker! I'm the only tea drinker so I make a mug at a time and it heats up faster and more efficiently than doing a whole pot
4. Easy to operate, even setting it to autobrew in the morning
5. At least for the first one, and this one after a few months, very durable
I can't think of many things I've bought twice in my life, but this is one. Recommended.
The other feature I really like is setting the temperature of the coffee. I tend to use medium out of the three settings. I like really hot coffee.
The only thing which didn't work is the back light on the clock. The clock itself works fine but since I don't use it to tell time or program it, I'm not going to bother sending it back or getting another one. I'm retired so I don't need to program it. It makes my coffee of 6 cups in about 12 minutes or so; that's good for me. All in all a great unit !
My building has a water softening system so I don't need to worry about scaling but if you have hard water in your town then it might be wise to clean it every month or so to keep the small orifices clean. My last coffee maker was starting to have that problem.
Top reviews from other countries
Everything arrived fast and in excellent condition.
Flavor wise it’s fine, I guess, it’s still new and I’m working on how much coffee to put in.
Cleaning is relatively easy. But cleaning a coffee maker is never fun. Only four stars ‘cause some grounds escape here and there.
The hot water maker is OK. I wish it held more water. I was kinda hoping small rodents would use it to shower but none did. It could be because it doesn’t hold enough water or that I keep a clean house.
I live overseas, the shipping was reasonable and the item was delivered in a timely manner.
