After the coffee maker has finished
brewing, remove the carafe from the
platform. Turn the lid counterclock-
wise until the large round dot is over
the pouring spout. You can now serve
coffee. After serving make sure to
close the lid securely.
CAUTION: Do not store carafe on its
side or upside down. Hot coffee can
drip out of the air release valve.

2.5 Serving Coffee

Brewing time for a full pot of coffee is
under 8 minutes. When using a finer
grind, it can take an additional two to
four minutes until all the water has
processed through the ground coffee.

2.6 Pouring Coffee While Brewing

You can pull the carafe from the
platform during the brewing process
for approx. 20 seconds to pour a cup
of coffee. Make sure the lid is closed
before you replace the carafe on the
platform.

2.7 Brewing Small Amounts of Coffee

When brewing small amounts of cof-
fee, we always recommend rinsing
the carafe with hot water and switch-
ing to the 3-5 cup brewing cycle
before you turn on the machine.
• Turn the on/off knob to the left,
towards "3-5 cup" marking (see fig.
2; P). The green 3-5 cup indicator
light (see fig. 2; O) will go on. This
setting will slow down the brewing
process and improve the tempera-
ture. When brewing 3 to 5 cups of
coffee, temperature in the carafe
after brewing will be between 174˚ F
and 177˚ F.
• To cancel the 3-5 cup brewing cycle
turn the on off knob to the 3-5 cup
marking again. The 3-5 cup indicator
light will turn off.
2.8 Making Multiple Carafes of
Coffee
If you want to make another carafe of
coffee immediately after the first
10
carafe is brewed, push the on/off but-
ton (see fig. 2; P) to turn the coffee
maker off (the red light will turn off)
and let the coffee maker cool down
for approx. 5 minutes before refilling
with fresh cold water and ground cof-
fee. Important: Make sure the carafe
is empty before brewing.

2.9 Auto Shut-Off

After brewing is finished the CoffeeTEC
will go into stand-by mode for frothing.
If you do not operate the machine
within the next 2 hours, it will turn
itself off automatically (the red light
will turn off – fig. 2, M).
3. AUTOMATIC BREWING AT A
PROGRAMMED TIME
• Set the programmed time at which
you wish to brew coffee as
described in section 1.2.
• Prepare the coffee maker as
described in sections 2.1 - 2.3.
• Turn the on/off knob towards the
Auto marking and let go. The green
auto light (see fig. 2; N) will go on.
• At the pre-programmed time, the
red on button will go on and the
green auto light will go off, indicating
that brewing has started.
• Important: If you inadvertently
turned the on/off knob to the Auto
marking you can turn the Auto light
off by turning the knob towards the
Auto marking again.
4. KEEPING COFFEE HOT IN
THERMAL CARAFES
After brewing a full pot of coffee the
temperature in the carafe will be
above 180˚ F. If the carafe stays
closed the temperature will gradually
fall. After 4 hours the temperature will
remain between 160˚ F and 165˚ F.
The more often you open the carafe
and the less coffee remains, the faster
the temperature will decrease.
