The Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee
It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:
Element 1: Water
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the coffee. If your water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste any better in your coffee. That's why Cuisinart has added a water filter to the Grind & Brew™ Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes chlorine, bad tastes, and odors, for the purest cup of coffee every time.
Element 2: Coffee
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve the same great quality cup of coffee you receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality beans. Buy 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, we recommend you separate larger amounts 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. Maintain beans in a sealed container at room temperature, as damaging condensation occurs every time 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. Experiment and decide for yourself.
Element 3: Grind
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction. If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog the filter. If the grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. The Grind & Brew™ is preset for a medium grind, the optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.
Element 4: Proportion
The Grind & Brew™ makes up to twelve (12) 5-ounce cups of coffee.
Using whole beans:
- We recommend you use 1 scoop (provided; equals 1 tablespoon) of whole beans per cup. For 1 or 2 cups, use 11/2 level scoops per cup. Adjust the recipe according to individual taste.
NOTE: THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR WHOLE BEANS IS 14 LEVEL SCOOPS. DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR THE COFFEEMAKER COULD OVERFLOW.
Using Pre-Ground Coffee
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole beans, you can make coffee in the Grind & Brew™ using pre-ground beans. To do so, turn off the grinder by pressing the Grind Off button before turning on the unit. We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe to your taste.
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.

Programming Your Coffeemaker
1. Setting the Clock
When the coffeemaker is plugged in, 12:00 will appear until you set the time.
Entering Time Set Mode
To set the time, hold down either the Hours or Minutes button until the clock begins flashing (about 2 seconds). You are now in the Time Set mode and can operate either button to achieve the desired setting. Buttons can be held down to scroll through digits, or pressed repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. Numbers advance slowly at first, then speed up to about three per second. When the number displayed approaches the desired setting, release the button and press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time. Be careful to ensure "PM" is displayed if a PM time is desired.
Exiting Time Set Mode
The Time Set mode can be exited by pressing any button besides Hours or Minutes, or by waiting five seconds without pressing any buttons.
2. Setting the Program Time
Entering Set Program Time Mode
When you press the Program Set button, it displays the current program time (default 12:00 p.m.). Press and hold the Program button (about 2 seconds) until the green light and LCD display begin to flash. The desired time can be set by pressing the Hours and Min buttons to scroll forward through the digits. Pressing and holding either button allows continuous scrolling, starting slowly and accelerating to about three digits per second. The coffeemaker will start to brew at the programmed time. The Program mode cannot be entered if the coffeemaker is in its brew or keep warm cycle.
Exiting Set Program Time Mode
Set Program Time may be exited by pressing the Program button, pressing any other button (except Hours or Min), or by waiting five seconds without pressing any buttons.
3. Programming Automatic Shutoff Time
The Automatic Shutoff Time can be programmed from immediate shutoff after brewing up to four hours. When the coffeemaker shuts itself off, two tones will sound. Two hours is the default time. The 0:00 setting shuts the unit off immediately after brewing is complete. To check the current setting, press and hold the On/Off button; the Automatic Shutoff Time will be displayed.
To change the preset time, press and hold the On/Off button until the red power light and LCD display begin to flash. This signals entry into the Set Automatic Shutoff mode. Press the Hours and Min buttons to scroll forward through the digits until the desired time appears. The first setting is preset at 2:00. Pressing and holding either button allows continuous scrolling, starting slowly and accelerating to about three digits per second. As the desired time setting approaches, release the button and press repeatedly to advance one digit at a time.
The Automatic Shutoff Time (ASO) may be programmed either before or during coffee brewing. If re-programmed after brewing, the unit automatically accounts for elapsed time. For example, if ASO is set for 40 minutes and 25 minutes have elapsed, the unit will shut off after 15 minutes.
Making Coffee
Before making the first pot of coffee, operate the coffeemaker once using only water and a paper filter to remove any dust or residues from the manufacturing process.
1. Fill the Water Reservoir
Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount of water into the reservoir using the water level indicator at the rear.
2. Add Beans
Lift the grinder basket lid using the recess on either side. Fill the basket with the desired quantity of beans.
- Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup. For 1 to 4 cups, use 11/2 level scoops per cup. Maximum capacity for whole beans is 14 level scoops. Do not overfill or the grinder could malfunction and/or the coffeemaker may overflow. This is a suggested recipe; adjust to taste.
3. Open Filter Door
Place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart's® commercial style permanent filter in the basket. Note: When using the Cuisinart filter, ensure the filter handle faces away from the grinder basket to avoid interference with coffee flow. A permanent filter may allow some fine coffee grounds into the carafe. Ensure paper filters are fully open, touching the side walls and bottom of the basket.
Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.
4. Close the Reservoir Lid
Press down to lock. The Grind & Brew™ Automatic coffeemaker is equipped with a Safety Interlock System. The grinder blades spin during operation, and the coffeemaker will not operate if the cover is open or the grinder cover is left out. If you try to turn the unit on with the cover open, the unit will beep continuously until the missing parts are installed and the lid is closed. The unit will also beep if you open the lid during the brewing process; the grinder will stop, or brewing will stop. Once parts are installed and the cover is closed, the beeping stops, and the grind and brew process will start again. If you do not want the grinder to come on again, press the Grind Off button before pressing the On button.
5. Before Brewing Coffee
Make sure you have replaced the glass carafe in its position on the warming plate and have placed a filter in the filter basket. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. 12:00 will appear until you set the time. To set the clock, refer to the "Programming Your Coffeemaker" section on page 8.
6. Power Unit
- a) Immediate grinding and brewing: Press the On button. The indicator light will illuminate, and the process will begin.
- b) Programmed brewing: Press the Program button. The indicator will light, and the display will show the programmed time. To set the programmed time, see "Programming Your Coffeemaker" on page 8.
7. Select Cups Setting (1-4 Cup)
The 1-4 cup setting button is used when making small amounts of coffee. Normal coffeemakers can produce a colder batch with smaller amounts because the heater doesn't have enough time to properly warm up. The 1-4 setting essentially double heats the water, making smaller amounts as hot as a full pot. To use: When making a smaller amount, press the 1-4 button on the control panel after turning on the unit. The indicator light will illuminate. Note that the 1-4 button can be set at any time.
8. During and After Brewing
The Brew Pause™ feature allows you to remove the carafe from the heater during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop; only the flow of coffee from the basket stops. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 30 seconds, or the coffee may overflow the basket. While this feature is available, it is not recommended to pour coffee before the cycle is completed, as the flavor profile of coffee brewed at the beginning differs from that brewed at the end. Removing a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the flavor of the finished pot.
When the brewing cycle is completed, five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue to stream from the filter for several seconds.
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.
After brewing, the heater plate will keep the coffee at about 180°-185°F. If the coffee is not to be drunk within 20 minutes, transfer it to a thermal carafe preheated with hot water.
To Make Coffee with Pre-Ground Beans
Follow step #1 from the "Making Coffee" section on page 9, then continue as follows:
- Open filter door. Add ground coffee to your permanent or #4 basket paper filter. Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop (1 tablespoon) of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe according to your individual taste.
- NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground.
- Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.
- Follow instructions 4 through 8 from the "Making Coffee" section, page 10.
- Press the Grind Off button. When this function is activated, an amber LED will be illuminated. Then press the On button.
Changing the Water Filter
- Remove the filter from its polybag and soak in cold tap water for 15 minutes.
- Remove the water filter holder from the coffeemaker by lifting it out of the reservoir area with your thumb and forefinger.
- Grasp the stem in one hand. Using the thumb of the other hand, gently press down and pull toward you. The compartment will flip open.
- Place the filter in the holder and close the water filter holder; you will hear a snap indicating it is in place.
- NOTE: Caution must be used when inserting the charcoal filter. Improper placement in the holder can cause tearing of the filter skin.
- Hold the filter under cold running tap water for 10 seconds to flush. Place the hole openings in the side of the unit directly under the water stream.
- Allow the filter to drain completely.
- Replace the water filter holder in the reservoir area of the coffeemaker, pushing it all the way down to the base of the unit, along the reservoir wall.
Note: We recommend changing the water filter every 60 days or 60 uses, more often if you have hard water. Replacement water filters can be purchased in stores or by calling customer service or through the Cuisinart website.
Cleaning and Maintenance
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY ALL PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.
Always turn coffeemaker Off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Open the reservoir lid*. Remove the grinder basket lid by using the recessed area on each side of the lid. Then remove the grinder basket. Open filter basket door. Remove filter basket cover, and filter basket.
The grinder basket, grinder basket lid, filter basket, and filter basket cover can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of the dishwasher. Dry all parts after every use.
Do not put any water in the unit once the grinder basket has been removed. Wipe the area under the grinder basket with a damp cloth. If water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may become damaged and may malfunction.
Once clean, reverse the above steps. Remove the carafe from the warming plate.
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and lid can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher. The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on the upper rack only.
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffeemaker.
Never immerse the base unit in water or other liquid. To clean the base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing. Wipe warming plate with a clean, damp cloth.
*Note: Reservoir lid can also be removed for easy cleaning. Open the lid 60° and gently pull toward you. To replace, reverse steps, see diagram.
Decalcification
Decalcification refers to removing the calcium deposits which form over time on the metal parts of the coffeemaker.
For best performance from your coffeemaker, decalcify the base unit from time to time. The frequency depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffeemaker.
To clean, fill the water reservoir to capacity with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. Turn the coffeemaker on by pressing the On button. One cycle should be sufficient to adequately clean the coffeemaker. When the cycle is completed and the five beeps sound, turn coffeemaker off. Repeat operation this time using fresh cold water.
