INTRODUCTION
The Cuisinart ® Coffee Bar ™ Automatic Grind &
Brew ™ Coffeemaker is a coffee lover’s dream.
It delivers the freshest coffee in the world.
The secret? It grinds the beans right before
it brews them. Just add coffee beans to the
grinder basket, fill the reservoir with water,
put in your filter and press the “ON” button.
In minutes, you’ll have a wonderfully fresh
pot of coffee.
Another reason this coffeemaker rewards you
with pure coffee flavor is that it has the same
brewing system found in coffee bars. It uses
only the water needed to extract all the rich
coffee taste without extracting any bitterness.
We know the Cuisinart ® Automatic Grind &
Brew TM will bring you years of pleasure.
Nothing is more satisfying than a rich cup of
your favorite brew.
THE COFFEE BAR ™
FLAVOR SYSTEM
All coffee has the rich aromatic flavors we
associate with a great cup of coffee, as well as
the acidic, bitter flavors we associate with a
bad cup. Commercial brewers have discovered
that the “good” and “bad” flavors wash out of
the grounds at a different rate, with the good
flavors washing out faster than the bad. The
trick is to use only enough water to wash out
the good flavors and leave the bad behind.
The relatively small amount of water needed to
do this leaves a very strong cup of coffee, so it
is necessary to add some water to bring it to a
pleasant strength.
The Coffee Bar ™ Flavor System does the work
for you. Using the proportions and grind
recommended, simply set the Flavor System
dial for the number of cups you intend to brew.
That’s all there is to it! The Coffee Bar
™ Flavor
System automatically measures the correct
amount of water needed to pass through the
grounds, and directs the rest of the water into
the carafe.
Simply set the red dial for the number of cups of coffee
you are brewing, and the Flavor System ensures great
coffee bar flavor.
