bean is broken, the intense rich flavor  
begins to deteriorate.

affect the flavor of your coffee. If you  
do not drink water straight from the  
tap, do not use it to make coffee. If  
your water has an off taste or smell,  
or if you have extremely hard water,

• Make sure coffee is not ground too finely. This  
will clog the filter. Permanent filters are more  
likely to clog than paper filters.

basket style filter. The sides of the filter should  
be upright against side of filter basket to avoid  
filter collapsing.  
• When using Pause ’N Serve, hot water continues  
to flow into the filter basket and may overflow if  
the carafe is not returned to the Keep-Hot plate  
within 20 seconds.  
• Make sure that carafe is fully seated on the  
keep-hot plate.
