Brewing Options
STANDARD BREWING
Use the standard brewing method, if you prefer not to pre-infuse
your coffee.
1. Press the Standard Brew button ⏻. The button light will turn green.
2. Brewing will start and continue until all the water is emptied
from the water tank. Brew time for 8-Cups is approximately 6 minutes.
PRE-SOAK BREWING (e.g. PRE-INFUSION)
Use this method for fresh ground coffee that has been roasted in the last
30-40 days. Pre-Infusion, also known as Pre-Soak, helps eliminate any
remaining CO
gasses and improve flavor extraction.

1. Press the Pre-Soak button, the button light will turn blue.
2. Brewing begins, saturating the coffee grounds for 20 seconds to trigger
the "blooming" process (see page 13 for more details). Brewing then
pauses for 30 seconds to enable the coffee to fully bloom. Finally,
brewing will resume until all the water is emptied from the water tank.
Brew time for 8-Cups is approximately 7 minutes.
