BLOOMING
• When coffee is roasted, CO
2
is trapped inside
the bean. Coffee grounds release this CO
2
when hot water hits them, and this is called
“blooming”. Your Brewer can automatically
adjust bloom time by controlling the water
flow. Blooming can have an impact on the
aromas and flavors of the brewed cup. If the
coffee is overly bitter shorten bloom time,
and if it’s sour make it a little longer.
PRE-HEATING
• Pre-heat the carafe or cup for best results. A
pre-heated carafe or cup will help maintain
the coffee’s optimal temperature and keep
coffee hotter for longer. Fill with hot water for
about 30 seconds then discard the water.
WATER QUALITY
• Fresh, good-tasting water is essential for a
perfect cup. If the water contains excessive
sediment, or has an ‘off’ taste or odor, we
recommend using filtered water.
ICED COFFEE
• Iced coffee is at its best when the coffee is
brewed strong because the coffee is diluted
by the melting ice cubes. To achieve great
Iced coffee we recommend brewing in OVER
ICE mode. Fill the tank ensuring the water
level does not exceed the 20oz level.
• Fill the brew basket with twice the amount of
coffee you'd normally use for regular brewed
coffee.
• Brew into the carafe.
• Once the brewing cycle is complete, transfer
the coffee to a heatproof pitcher and let cool
to room temperature. Refrigerate until cold,
at least 2 hours or overnight. Fill glasses with
ice cubes. Pour the coffee into the glasses,
filling them to within 1.5" (4cm) of the rim.
Top each glass with cream, milk, syrups or
sweeteners as desired.
NOTE
If using granulated sugar as a sweetener, add
while the coffee is hot to encourage the sugar
to completely dissolve.
• To avoid a diluted taste, you can also use
regular strength coffee and serve it over coffee
ice cubes. Prepare coffee ice cubes by pouring
cool coffee into ice-cube trays and freezing.
COLD BREW
Your Brewer will produce a maximum of
20oz of Cold Brew. Due to the long duration
(typically 4-14 hours) of the brewing process we
recommend setting the machine up overnight so
the Cold Brew will be ready in the morning.
1. Fill the tank with your desired volume of
water ensuring this is below the
COLD BREW line.
2. Remove the basket, and ensure both the cone
insert and mesh basket filter are removed.
Add a large paper filter and then coffee at
2-3 times of regular ratio (approximately 12
scoops for 20oz).
Reinsert the basket into the machine.
3. Remove the lid from the carafe and re-insert
– the lid must not be on the carafe during the
brewing process, alternatively, use another
vessel.
4. Navigate to the COLD BREW setting and
press START|CANCEL. The machine will
then begin brewing the water without the
heating element. Once this is complete a
countdown timer will display on the LCD
indicating when the Cold Brew is finished.
At this point the machine will automatically
dispense the Cold Brew into the waiting
carafe.
NOTE
Brew Time for Cold Brew can easily be adjusted
to your preference, anywhere between
1min – 24hrs.
NOTE
Do not add ice to the tank. Cold, chilled water
should be added.
CAUTION
Hot steam may rise when pouring. The bottom
of the carafe is hot to touch for several minutes
after brewing. Use caution and ensure not to set
the carafe on a heat sensitive surface.
