From the Manufacturer
---------------------
The Cuisinart DGB-700BC Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew
Coffeemaker
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Cuisinart Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker The first thing
you'll notice about the new Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew is
the quality of the coffee. A burr mill extracts maximum flavor
from beans, and easy-to-use controls let you choose the strength
of the brew. With the bigger bean hopper, fully programmability,
and Cuisinart simple cleanup, it's never been easier to make a
great pot of coffee.
The Quest for a Perfect Espresso
--------------------------------
It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements
critical to the perfect cup:
Element 1. Water:
Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water
is as important as the quality of the coffee. A good rule of
thumb is that 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 Fully Automatic Burr 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 of coffee
you receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the same quality
beans. Buy the beans fresh and whole, only about a two weeks'
supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is
broken, its flavor degrades very quickly. That's why the Fully
Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker grinds your coffee just
prior to brewing. If it is not practical to buy small supplies,
we recommend you 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 yourself. We recommend keeping the hopper at least half
way full. Be sure that you have sufficient a of beans in
your hopper for the a of coffee you intend to brew. Although
it is preferable to use fresh, whole beans, you can make coffee
in the coffeemaker using pre-ground beans. To do so, turn off the
grinder by pressing the Grind Off button before turning on the
unit. It is suggested to use 1 level scoop of ground coffee per
cup and adjust the a to your taste. The maximum capacity for
ground coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a paper or
permanent filter. Exceeding this a may cause overflow.
Element 3. Grind:
The grind of the coffee 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 the grind is too coarse, the water will pass through
too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. The
Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker is preset for a
medium grind, the optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.
Element 4. Proportion:
The Fully Automatic Burr Grind & Brew Coffeemaker makes up to
twelve cups of (54 ounces) of coffee.
Making Coffee with Whole Beans
------------------------------
12-cup glass caraffe * Fill the Water Reservoir:
Open the reservoir lid. Pour the desired a of water in the
reservoir using the water level window indicator. Close the
reservoir lid. Note: Do not exceed the 12-cup line; doing so may
cause the carafe to overflow.
* Add Beans:
Lift the hopper lid, using the recess on either side. Fill the
hopper with beans. It is recommended keeping the hopper at least
halfway full. Be sure that you have a sufficient a of beans
in your hopper for the a of coffee you intend to brew
(maximum capacity is 1/2-pound. Do not over-pack the hopper.
Over-packing may result in jamming the grinder.) For easy
filling, the hopper container can be taken out by turning the
hopper container release knob to the unlock position. Note: Do
not put any water in the unit once the hopper container has been
removed. If the water gets into the grinder motor, the motor may
become damaged and may malfunction. Put hopper lid back in place.
* Lock Hopper:
If you have removed the hopper from the unit, be sure that the
hopper container release knob is in the position and
place the hopper container back in the unit. Turn the knob to
locked position. This unit is equipped with a safety interlock
system. The unit will not operate grinding function if the hopper
container is not in place. If you try to turn on the unit for
grinding with the hopper out of place, the unit will beep
continuously until the missing part is installed. The brewing
process can be restarted by pressing the On button. Restarting
the process will not affect coffee results.
* Insert Coffee Filter:
Open filter door by pressing filter basket door release button.
Remove filter basket cover and place a #4 basket paper filter or
Cuisinart's commercial style permanent filter in the basket. The
unit is equipped with a safety interlock system. The units will
not operate if the filter basket cover or filter basket are not
in place or if the filter door is not closed. If you try to turn
the unit on while the filter compartment is out of place, the
unit will beep continuously until the missing part(s) are
installed.
* Brewing:* Immediate Grinding and Brewing: * Turn the Grind
Control Knob to select the number of cups you want to brew. The
coffeemaker will grind the corresponding as of beans. The
unit will automatically adjust for low cup settings.
* Press the Strength Control button to set the coffee strength.
MILD, MED or STRONG will show on the LCD display.
* Press the On button. The indicator will light and process will
begin.
* Programmed Brewing:

the corresponding a of beans. The unit will automatically
adjust for low cup settings.
* Press the Strength Control button to set coffee strength. MILD,
MED or STRONG will show on the LCD display.
* The coffeemaker will begin brewing at the programmed time.
* During and After Brewing:
The Brew Pause feature allows you to remove the carafe from the
heating plate during mid-brew. The brewing process does not stop
during this period; only the flow of coffee from the basket
stops. Do not remove the carafe for longer than 20 seconds or the
coffee may overflow the basket. While Cuisinart offers this
feature, it is not recommended that you pour coffee before the
cycle has reached completion, since the coffee brewed at the
beginning of the cycle has a flavor profile which is very
different from the coffee made at the end of the cycle. Removing
the 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 filer for
several seconds.
