about 30 seconds.

Important: To avoid a possible overflow after removing carafe, be sure to place it back
under brew basket in 30 seconds or less.

aligns with the arrow on the carafe.

USING YOUR PERFECT POUR ® THERMAL CARAFE
• For best performance, rinse the carafe with hot water before brewing. This brings up the
temperature and improves the carafe’s thermal properties.
• The carafe spout is specially designed to deliver a dripless pour so you can serve coffee
without any messy drips.
• Coffee is brewed directly into carafe through the closed brew thru lid. Always check that
lid is properly in place when brewing. Coffee may overflow if lid is not properly in place.
• The carafe keeps coffee hot up to 4 hours so you can leave it away from coffeemaker
for serving. Always check that lid is properly closed in place when not in use, this will
ensure that coffee stays hot.
