[. . . ] The exclusive drip-free carafe design allows the coffee to be poured from any angle. 1/4 · The high quality stainless steel carafes are stainless steel inside and out. Double walled with a vacuum thermal barrier, they will keep your coffee hot for several hours. However, it is best to brew only as much as you need for the following 60-90 minutes since brewed coffee naturally begins to lose it best flavor after that time, even in the thermal carafe where it is protected from air and light. BREWING SMALL BATCHES The Aroma function is a special brew process for small batches of coffee, between 1 and 3 cups Hot water would normally pass too quickly through such small amounts of ground coffee. NOTE : This function is only available for the left side of the machine. · Before brewing your small batch on the left side of the machine set the Aroma function switch to the bottom position marked 1-3 cups. · The Aroma function electronically slows the brew cycle by heating water in timed intervals to extend the contact time with the grounds. This results in a proper extraction for the small batch. 7 English THE WATER The water is a critical factor in the taste of your brewed coffee. Filtered water is normally the best choice to help avoid the minerals and chlorine that can be found in municipal water systems. However if your water tastes good then it should be good for your coffee. It is best to use premium whole beans from a trusted brand or roaster. Arabica beans provide the best flavors and typically have lower caffeine content, and while Robusta beans are less expensive and easier to grow their flavor profile relegates them for use only in blends. Beans can be roasted very lightly to provide a smooth aromatic taste or roasted dark to provide slightly strongers flavors that can have smokey or toasted undertones. A good coffee roaster will be able to describe the flavors that the beans will impart to your brewed coffee. Note : Experiment with different beans and different roasts to identify one or several that suite your tastes. The dual carafe system on this machine allows you to brew 2 types of coffee at the same time, perfect for entertaining and to provide a variety of flavors simultaneously; one pot each of light roast and dark roast, regular and decaf or flavored coffee or 2 full carafes of your favorite blend. THE RATIO The amount of coffee must be carefully measured against the volume of water for each brew cycle.
