The Grind & Brew Thermalmakes it easy to  
enjoy delicious gourmet coffee at home.  
Simply place whole beans into the separate  
grinding chamber, add water, set the flavor  
control to 1-4 or 5+ cups, and program start-  
time up to 24 hours in advance. Coffee brews  
through and, pours through a self-sealing lid  
into a double-wall insulated thermal carafe to  
keep it fresh and hot for hours. A charcoal  
water filter and a permanent commercial-style  
gold tone coffee filter let only pure coffee flavor  
flow through, and the popular Brew Pause™  
feature even lets you sneak a cup before the  
cycle is finished.

Element 3: Grind  
THE QUEST FOR  
THE PERFECT CUP  
OF COFFEE  
The grind is critical for proper flavor extraction.  
If the grind is too fine, overextraction and  
bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also  
clog the filter. If grind is too coarse, the water  
will pass through too quickly and the desired  
flavors will not be extracted. The Grind & Brew  
Thermalis preset for a medium grind, the  
optimal grind for this type of coffeemaker.  
It is generally agreed that there are four basic  
elements critical to the perfect cup of coffee:  
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 Grind & Brew ThermalAutomatic  
Coffeemaker. The charcoal water filter removes  
chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the purest  
cup of coffee every time.  
Element 4: Proportion  
The Grind & Brew Thermalmakes up to  
ten (10) 5-ounce cups of coffee.  
Using Whole Beans:  
• We recommend you use 1 level scoop of  
whole beans per cup. Maximum 14 level  
scoops. For 1 or 2 cups, use 1-1/2 level  
scoops per cup. Adjust the recipe according  
to individual taste.  
DO NOT OVERFILL OR THE GRINDER  
COULD MALFUNCTION AND/OR THE  
COFFEEMAKER COULD OVERFLOW.  
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 cup of coffee you  
receive at a coffee bar, you need to use the  
same quality beans.  
Using Pre-Ground Coffee:  
Although it is preferable to use fresh, whole  
beans, you can make coffee in the Grind &  
Brew Thermalusing pre-ground beans.  
Buy the beans fresh and whole, only about  
two weeks’ supply at a time for maximum  
freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken,  
its flavor degrades very quickly. That’s why  
the Grind & Brew Thermalgrinds your coffee  
just prior to brewing. If it is not practical to buy  
small supplies, we recommend you separate  
larger amounts 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  
To do so, turn off the grinder by pressing the  
“Grind Off” button before turning on the unit.  
Our recipe:  
We suggest that you use 1 level scoop of  
ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe to  
your taste.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground  
coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a  
paper or permanent filter. Exceeding this  
amount may cause overflow.

you experiment and decide for yourself.

be held down to scroll through the digits, or  
pressed and released lightly to advance one  
digit at a time.  
“Set Program Time” may be exited in any  
of three ways:  
1. Press the “Program Set” button. This will  
cause the coffeemaker to revert to its  
previous state. If it was OFF, it will return  
to the OFF position. If “Programmed”,  
it will revert to this state, and so on.  
This is a safety feature.

1. Fill the Water Reservoir  
Open the reservoir lid by pushing the release  
button and lifting up. Pour the desired amount  
of water in the reservoir using the step water  
indicator located at the rear of the reservoir.  
2. Add Beans  
Lift the grinder basket lid, using the recess on  
either side. Fill the basket with the desired  
quantity of beans.  
(Use 1 level scoop of whole beans per cup.  
For 1 to 4 cups, use 1-1/2 level scoops per  
cup. Maximum capacity is 14 level scoops.  
Do not overfill or the grinder could  
malfunction and/or the coffeemaker  
may overflow. This is our suggested recipe.  
Adjust the recipe to taste.)  
3. Open Filter Door  
Place a #4 basket paper filter or Cuisinart’s®  
commercial style permanent filter in  
the basket.  
g. Replace the water filter holder in the reser-  
voir area of the coffeemaker, pushing it all  
the way down to the base of the unit, along  
the reservoir wall.  
Note: When using the Cuisinart filter, be  
sure that the filter handle is facing away  
from the grinder basket. If you do not do  
so, the handle may interfere with the flow  
of ground coffee into the filter basket.  
Also note: a permanent filter may allow  
some ground coffee to flow into carafe.  
Note: We recommend changing the water filter  
every 60 days or 60 uses or more often if you  
have hard water.  
The filter holder will help to keep the filter  
open, but when using a paper filter, be sure  
that the filter is completely open while  
touching the side walls and bottom of  
the basket.  
Replacement water filters can be purchased  
in stores or by calling customer service or  
through the Cuisinart web site.  
TURNING OFF GRIND  
FUNCTION  
Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter door.  
4. Close the Reservoir Lid  
To turn off the grinding function, press the  
“Grind Off” button. An amber LED will be  
illuminated. Then press the On button.  
Press down to lock. The Grind & Brew  
ThermalAutomatic coffeemaker is equipped  
with a Safety Interlock System. The Grind &  
Brew Thermalcoffeemaker will not operate if  
the cover of the unit is open or the grinder  
cover is left out. If you try to turn the unit on  
with the cover open, the unit will beep continu-  
ously until the missing parts are installed and  
you close the lid. The unit will also beep if you  
open the lid during the brewing process.  
MAKING COFFEE  
Before you make the first pot of coffee in your  
new Cuisinart® Grind & BrewThermal™  
Automatic coffeemaker, we recommend oper-  
ating the coffeemaker once, using only water  
and a paper filter. This will remove any dust or  
residues which remain in the system from  
the manufacturing process.  
The grinder will stop grinding or, if brewing, the  
brewing will stop. Once the missing parts are  
installed and the cover is closed, the beeping  
9
 
stops. The brewing process can be restarted  
by pressing the “On” button. Restarting the  
process will not affect coffee results. If you do  
not want the grinder to come on again, press  
the “Grind Off” button before pressing the “On”  
button. Once the lid is closed, the beeping will  
stop, and the grind and brew process will start  
again from the beginning.  
The 1-4 setting basically ‘double heats’ the  
water, making your smaller amount as piping  
hot as a full pot would be.  
To use: When making a smaller amount,  
press the 1-4 button on the control panel  
after turning on the unit. The indicator light will  
illuminate. Note that the 1-4 button can be set  
at any time.  
5. Before Brewing Coffee  
8. During and After Brewing  
Remove thermal carafe lid by turning in the  
direction of the “unlock” arrow. Prewarm carafe  
by rinsing it out with hot water. PREWARMING  
THE CARAFE WILL HELP KEEP THE  
COFFEE HOTTER.  
The Brew Pausefeature allows you to remove  
the carafe 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 30  
seconds or the coffee may overflow the  
basket. While we offer this feature, we do not  
recommend 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  
a cup during the brewing cycle will alter the  
flavor of the finished pot.  
Return the carafe lid to the carafe. To lock the  
lid, turn in the direction of the “lock” arrow until  
it fits tightly on carafe and arrow lines up in the  
center of the pour spout. This ensures lid is  
closed and in the proper position for brewing  
and pouring.  
Make sure you have replaced the thermal  
carafe in its position on the resting plate  
and have placed a filter in the filter basket.  
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. “12:00”  
will appear until you set the time. This will not  
interfere with the operation of the coffeemaker.  
To set clock, see the “Programming Your  
Coffeemaker” section, page 8.  
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it  
before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee  
at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat  
stronger than the coffee at the top.  
When the brewing cycle has been completed,  
five beeps will sound. Coffee will continue  
to stream from the filter for several seconds.  
6. Power Unit  
a) Immediate grinding and brewing:  
After brewing, the unit will automatically shut  
itself off. The thermal carafe will keep the  
coffee hot for hours.  
Press the ON button. The indicator will  
light and the process will begin.  
b) Programmed Brewing:  
Bottom of Thermal Carafe is hot to touch  
for several minutes after brewing.  
Use caution.  
Press the “Program” button. The indicator will  
light and the display will show the programmed  
time for as long as the button is depressed.  
The display reverts back to time of day once  
the button is released. To set the programmed  
time, see “Programming Your Coffeemaker”  
on page 8.  
The brew-through, pour-through lid allows  
coffee to drip from coffeemaker through the  
closed lid. When brewing is complete, the  
lid seals itself so air stays out and coffee  
freshness and temperature are preserved. No  
need to turn or adjust the lid before pouring.  
7. Select Cups Setting  
The 1-4 cup setting button is used when  
you make small amounts of coffee. Normal  
coffeemakers will produce a colder batch of  
coffee when smaller amounts are made,  
because the heater doesn't have enough time  
to properly ‘warm up’ to heat a small amount.  
10  
 
Once clean, reverse the above steps.  
TO MAKE COFFEE WITH  
PRE-GROUND BEANS:  
Remove the carafe from the resting plate.  
Discard any remaining coffee. The carafe and  
lid can be washed in warm soapy water and  
rinsed thoroughly, or placed in a dishwasher.  
The carafe and carafe lid should be placed on  
the upper rack only.  
Follow step #1 from Making Coffee  
section on page 9, then continue as follows:  
2. Open filter door. Add ground coffee to  
our permanent or #4 basket paper filter.  
Our recipe suggestion: Use 1 level scoop  
of ground coffee per cup. Adjust the recipe  
according to your individual taste.  
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers  
on any part of the coffeemaker.  
Never immerse base unit in water or other  
liquid. To clean base, simply wipe with a  
clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.  
Wipe resting plate with a clean, damp cloth.  
Never use rough, abrasive materials or  
cleansers to clean the resting plate. Do not  
dry the inside of the water reservoir with a  
cloth, as lint may remain.  
NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground  
coffee is 16 level scoops, using either a  
paper or permanent filter. Exceeding that  
amount may cause overflow if the coffee  
is too finely ground.  
3. Place filter basket lid in place. Close filter  
door.  
* Note: Reservoir lid can also be removed for  
easy cleaning. Open the lid 60˚ and gently pull  
toward you. To replace, reverse steps.  
4. Follow instructions 5 through 8 from the  
Making Coffee section.  
5. Press the “Grind Off” button. When this  
function is activated, an amber LED will be  
illuminated. Then press the “ON” button.

shall then, at its choice, either repair the  
product, refer the consumer to an independent

California residents may also, at their  
preference, return nonconforming products  
directly to Cuisinart for repair or, if necessary,  
replacement by calling our Consumer Service  
Center toll-free at 800-726-0190. Cuisinart will

replacement, and shipping and handling for  
such nonconforming products under warranty.  
BEFORE RETURNING YOUR  
CUISINART PRODUCT  
Important: If the nonconforming product is  
to be serviced by someone other than  
Cuisinart’s Authorized Service Center, please  
remind the servicer to call our Consumer  
Service Center to ensure that the problem  
is properly diagnosed, the product serviced  
with the correct parts, and to ensure that the  
product is still under warranty.
