trapped in the bean. If you are brewing
with freshly roasted coffee, or you would like to pre-infuse the coffee, press and
hold the power switch for 5 seconds. At that point the power switch light will
flash and 2 beeps will be heard indicating that you’ve enabled the pre-infusion
mode. Press and release the power switch a second time to begin brewing. You
can disable the pre-infusion mode by pressing the power switch until the light
blinks (5 sec.) and a single beep is heard. The brewer will remain
in this mode until the mode is turned off or the brewer is unplugged.

Following are a few tips to help you brew an amazing cup of coffee with your
new Bonavita brewer:
COFFEE QUALITY, FRESHNESS AND GRIND
The quality of the coffee has a great impact on brewed coffee’s flavor. Using
freshly roasted coffee and grinding the beans just before brewing are important
considerations. We recommend using coffee that was roasted in the last 30
days for the best flavor. In addition, we encourage use of an air tight container or
sealed bag stored in a dark cabinet to help extend your coffee’s lifespan.
Grinding coffee significantly speeds up the time in which coffee starts to lose
its’ flavor. Once coffee is ground the air begins to attack essential oils and other
volatile flavor components. It’s only a matter of hours before most of the ground
coffee’s aroma has evaporated. While we encourage grinding your coffee
immediately before brewing whenever possible, we know that there are times
when pre-grinding can’t be avoided.
Whether you are purchasing pre-ground coffee or grinding it just before you
brew, we recommend using coffee that is ground to a medium / course setting,
similar to course ground salt.
