Grind and Brew Coffeemaker

Retire your alarm clock and wake up instead to the rich aroma of
freshly ground, just brewed coffee, with the Cuisinart Grind &
Brew Automatic Coffeemaker. This deluxe 12-cup model offers the
best of Cuisinart's expert coffeemaking technology to deliver
unsurpassed ease of use and rich full-bodied coffee flavor. With
streamlined European styling and a graceful carafe, it's a
beautiful addition to any kitchen.
A perfect addition to any modern kitchen, this 12-cup automatic
coffeemaker grinds whole beans right before brewing to produce a
fresh and flavorful pot of coffee. Its 24-hour full
programmability means the unit can be set for "wake-up" coffee or
for having coffee ready when it's time to serve dessert--without
having to get up from the table. In addition, its brew-pause
function makes it possible to sneak a cup before the end of the
brewing cycle.
The Grind & Brew Coffeemaker features a separate grinding
assembly and filter chamber to make beans easy to add and used
grounds easy to remove. A convenient "grind off" control turns
the grinder off when preground coffee is used.
Smaller as can be brewed without any loss of flavor thanks
to the units 1- to 4-cup setting. For added convenience, the
coffeemaker provides a large control panel, adjustable automatic
shut-off from zero to four hours, and a 12-cup (5 ounces each)
glass carafe with a generous stay-cool handle and drip-free
pouring spout.
Accessories include a gold-tone commercial-style permanent filter
and a charcoal water filter for removing impurities. The
sleek-looking coffeemaker measures 12 by 9-4/5 by 17-1/2 inches
and carries a three-year limited warranty.
A charcoal water filter and a permanent commercial-style gold
tone coffee filter allow only pure flavor to flow through, and

cycle is finished.

The Perfect Cup of Coffee
-------------------------
Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that water is as important
as the quality of your coffee. If water doesn't taste good from
the tap, it won't taste good in your coffee. That's why Cuisinart
has added a water filter to the Grind & Brew Coffeemaker. The
charcoal filter removes chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, for the
purest coffee flavor, every time you brew.
Element 2: Coffee
While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor comes from the
beans. To achieve the same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar,
you need to use the same quality of coffee.
Buy the beans fresh and whole, only about two weeks' supply at a
time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its
flavor degrades very quickly. That's why the Grind & Brew grinds
your coffee just prior to brewing. If it is not practical to buy
small supplies, separate larger as of beans into one to two
week portions immediately after purchase, and freeze them in
airtight containers.
The best way to maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to
air, light, and moisture. So, once beans have been removed from
the freezer, maintain them in a sealed container at room
temperature, since damaging condensation occurs every time the
beans are removed from the freezer or refrigerator. Note that
some coffee experts advise against freezing dark-roast beans,
because freezing can cause the oils to coagulate. Other experts
disagree. We suggest you experiment and decide for yourself.
Element 3: Grind
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind
is too fine, over-extraction and bitterness will result. Too fine
a grind may also clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the
water will pass through too quickly and the maximum flavor will
not be extracted. The Grind & Brew is preset for a medium grind,
the optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.
Element 4: Proportion
Coffee that is too strong or too weak is always a
disappointment. Follow the recommended portions of ground coffee
in the instructions included with every Grind & Brew, and later
adjust the a to suit your taste. The Grind & Brew makes up
to twelve (12) 5-ounce cups of coffee
