Use and Care Manual

6
A full pot of brewed coffee in the Brazen Plus requires up to 16 Tablespoons of ground coffee (60-70 grams or 2 oz).
If the Brazen Plus permanent filter is being used, finely ground coffee is not recommended as it may clog the filter.
A standard drip ground coffee grind setting is recommended for use in the Brazen Plus brewer. For other levels of
brewed coffee, see the SCAA Gold Cup Ratio grid on page 9. Adjust the water and coffee amounts based on your
taste preference.
3. Place the filter into the filter basket, and slide into place. You will hear a slight clicking when it locks in
position.
4. Set stainless steel carafe on base ensuring it is directly under the filter basket and raises the filter basket valve.
If the carafe isn’t positioned properly under the filter basket valve, brewed coffee may not flow into the carafe
properly and back up water in the filter basket.
5. Make sure the program settings are set to your preference (Water temperature, Pre-soak time). Proceed with
brewing using one of three options described below.
On Demand, Programmed Brew Start Time, and Manual Release
a. Brew using On Demand:
Press “Start” to brew coffee. Coffee brewing will begin when Start button pushed. The heater will heat the
water to the designated temperature before beginning the Pre-Soak and brewing steps. Note that Pre-Soak
will release approximately 4oz of water first to wet the coffee grounds before actual brewing begins based on
the Pre-Soak setting. During brewing, water will be pulsed and released every 15 seconds to create
turbulence and help improve extraction from the coffee grounds. Once the reservoir is empty, three beeps
will be heard indicating the brew cycle is finished and coffee is ready to enjoy.
b. Brew using Programmed Brew Start Time:
1) Set the time you’d like the coffee maker to brew at. (See P.5 for further guidance on setting time.)
2) Press “Auto.” Start time should be displayed on LED screen.
3) “Auto On” will be displayed, as well as the scheduled brewing time. Coffee will be brewed at your
specified, programmed time.
4) To turn off the Automatic Timer, press “Auto” again or “On/Off”.
c. Brew using Manual Release:
Note that the Manual Release approach to brewing requires monitoring during brewing to ensure that the water
flow and temperature are as intended It is highly recommended to remove the filter basket for Manual Release
brewing to avoid any backing up of water in the filter basket beyond its capacity. Manual Release brewing is
primarily used for brewing into other containers than a Brazen Plus carafe.
1) Place a Chemex glass carafe, a French press or other open brewing container on the base of the brewer.
2) Press the “Manual Release” button. The Brazen Plus display will indicate “On” flashing.
3) Press “Start.” The Brewer will begin to heat and “Temp” will start flashing and the actual current
temperature of the water in the reservoir will be shown in the display.
4) When the programmed temperature is reached, the system will beep and maintain the brewing
temperature for 10 minutes. Press “Manual Release” to start the flow of water. A timer on the LED
screen will display the elapsed time. Water is released at approximately 150 ml or 5 oz. per 15 seconds.
Pressing the “Manual Release” button will start and stop the flow when pressed in Manual Release
brewing mode. The timer on LED screen will track the water flow.
5) Continue pressing “Manual Release” as needed until all of the water has been released from the water
reservoir.
