COFFEE BEANS AND THE BUILT-IN BURR GRINDER

Grinding the beans just before brewing will maximize the flavor and aroma of your coffee. Conical burr grinders are considered the best way of grinding beans. The slower grinding speed of the conical burrs creates less heat thus preserving more aroma of the ground coffee. Following the recommendations below will make your coffee taste better and your machine last longer.

1. Storing Coffee Beans in the Freezer?
   Coffee Stores do not store beans in the freezer or refrigerator! Coffee will act like baking soda, absorbing all odors and tastes surrounding it. Coffee beans will stay fresh for several weeks as long as you keep them in a dry, dark container. (It's the ground coffee which will lose aroma rapidly!) If you must store coffee beans in the freezer, take them out the day before use. This way they will absorb less odors and have time to thaw.
   
   If you fill beans from the freezer directly into the grinder, moisture will seep into the burrs and the feeder channel. The moisture makes the ground coffee stick in the feeder channel and will clog it up over time.
2. Finer or Coarser Grind?
   The five grind settings (Fig. 4) of your CoffeeTEAM are calibrated for grinding drip coffee. Choose the coarser settings for darker, oilier beans. Choose the finer settings for light or medium roasts.
   
3. Dark Beans versus Light Beans
   Your CoffeeTEAM burr grinder is calibrated to work with all different kinds of roasts. Dark, oily beans will leave some oil residue in the feeder channel. Over time this can slow down the flow of ground coffee.
4. Flavored beans, liquid flavorings, syrups

• Do not use sugar or powder coated beans in the grinder (e.g.cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla etc). Coated beans can pit the bean container. The coating might stick to the burrs and, over time, will reduce the performance of the grinding mechanism.
• Do not add any liquid flavorings or syrups to the beans.
• If you like flavored coffee we recommend buying liquid flavoringsat your local coffee store. Add a few drops into the carafe before or after brewing.

5. Stones And Beans
   Every coffee specialty store will tell you that occasionally small stones can be found in between coffee beans. Very small stones will be processed through the burr grinder without any harm (the stone will end up in your filter - not in your brewed coffee). However, larger stones can block the burr grinder permanently. If this happens, the grinder will make a loud noise. Push the On/Off button to stop grinding and call our customer service toll free number: 1-800-767-3554. Here is how you can avoid stones entering the bean container:

• Shake your bean bag thoroughly so that a stone will fall tothe bottom of the bag.
• Before emptying the bottom half of the bag of beans into the bean container, check to see whether there are any particles that look like stones, and remove them.

THE WARRANTY

Replacement cartridges are available through your local Capresso dealer or by using the enclosed mail order form or through the website: www.capresso.com.

GOLD TONE FILTER AND FILTER INSERT

• Push the Filter Release button (Fig. 1.11). The filter holder swings open. The Goldtone filter and the filter insert can be removed.
• Before grinding/brewing coffee always make sure that the GoldTone filter is empty and placed into the filter insert.

• Never use the coffee maker without the filter insert and GoldTone filter. Extremely hot water can overflow onto the warming plate and counter. If this occurs, turn the machine off and wait until the brewing stops.
• Then push the Filter Release button, add the filter insert and the GoldTone filter and close the filter holder. Place the carafe underneath and continue brewing until the water tank is empty.

MODEL #465: USING THE STAINLESS STEEL CARAFE

For best coffee temperature pre-warm the carafe by rinsing it with hot water. Always make sure carafe is completely empty before brewing. Place the lid onto the carafe as shown in Fig. 8 and turn lid clockwise until the pouring release lever is aligned with the handle (Fig. 9). Insert carafe into the machine.

Please note: If you lose the lid, you cannot brew coffee. Use the enclosed mail order form or call 1-800-767-3554 to order a new lid.

Please note:
Always make sure that the carafe is transported in an upright position.


If you turn the carafe on its side or upside down with its lid closed, hot coffee may escape (Fig. 10).

Do not try to remove the stainless steel bottom. Do not place the carafe on any hot surfaces since this can loosen the vacuum seal inside the bottom. This can cause the carafe to lose its thermal function. Do not place carafe in dishwasher microwave, oven or stove.

CLEANING

Make sure machine is turned off and cooled down. Never use scouring agents. Never immerse the machine in any liquid. Never clean machine under running water. Dishwasher safe (upper rack): GoldTone Filter and Filter Insert.

Special Cleaning Tips:

1. GoldTone Filter
   Clean after brewing. Do not let used coffee sit for hours in the filter. Coffee oils will clog the mesh, causing the coffee to overflow the next time you brew coffee.
2. Filter Insert /Drip Stop
   Clean the Filter Insert and the drip stop under running water. Test that the drip stop closes completely under running water (Fig 5).
3. Bean Container
   When the bean container is empty, use a dry cloth to wipe off any oil deposits. Never pour any liquid into the bean container. Never try to disassemble the bean container.
4. The Feeder Channel
   Periodically check the feeder channel for oil and coffee build-up. As long as you can see coffee flowing freely through the feeder channel window there is no need to open the cover. The feeder channel should be cleaned in any of the following situations:

• moisture or heavy oil build-up has caused the ground coffeeto block the feeder channel, or
• you do not plan on using the grinder for more than a week. For cleaning, please follow this sequence:
• Make sure the GoldTone filter is inserted in the Filter Insert.
• With a pointed tip push the small pin in the window down and slide the plastic cover forward (fig. 6 & 7).
• Wipe the inside clean with a dry cloth.
• Replace the feeder channel cover.

Decalcifying

When the brewing process slows down, it is time to decalcify your CoffeeTEAM. If you use your CoffeeTEAM daily we recommend to descale at least twice a year. If you use hard water, it might be necessary to descale more often.

Before decalcifying, remove the Goldtone Filter and Charcoal Filter.

Decalcifying with DURGOL

Capresso recommends DURGOL for drip coffee makers. Durgol removes any calcium deposit up to 20 times faster than vinegar.

Durgol is available through www.frieling.com.

1. Remove GoldTone Filter and Charcoal Filter.
2. Fill water container with 18 oz. of cold water and add 6 oz. Durgol.
3. 
   Make sure the Filter Insert is in place and the carafe is empty.
4. Place the carafe with the lid closed into the machine.
5. The BREW light is illuminated. Push the ON/OFF button.
6. When the solution has run through, remove the carafe, empty and rinse thoroughly.
   
   let the machine cool down for 5 minutes.
7. Fill 20 oz. of fresh cold water into the water tank and brew through the machine.

Using other Decalcifying Agents

• All decalcifying agents are acidic and must be handled carefully. Check the information on the packaging before using. Only use decalcifying agents suitable for drip coffee makers and follow the instructions which come with the agent.
• When the solution has run through, remove the carafe, empty and rinse thoroughly.
  
  let the machine cool down for 5 minutes.
• Fill 20 oz. of fresh cold water into the water tank and brew through the machine.
