I am trying to have 2 questions answered before I need the repair. Please
pardon, my question, if
you feel it is off topic. I have wrote emails to the Vendor and contacted
them by phone for a week,
No return phone call or email.


I just purchased an expensive Cuisinart Grind & Brew Automatic CoffeMaker
with Thermal Carafe, model
DGB-600.

I love very, "HOT" coffee. The directions included say the following:

"Prewarm carafe with hot water to help keep the coffee hotter".

I tried that with normal hot water from the sink and then placed "filtered
cold water in the coffee
pot. The coffe came out cold. So I know, I need to place hot water inside
the coffe maker.

So my question is this. I have a Hot Water Dispenser in the house, set to
190 degrees. Can I use
this temperature "hot water" directly inside the carafe to keep the carafe
warm.

Also, can I use the 190 degree hot water to actually make the coffee.

I will be making coffee by using it's "grind the beans" on demand
function.

Thanks much,

Read the instruction booklet that came with the coffe maker. You are
supposed
to plug the coffeemaker in first and also you don't pour the water directly
through
the filter. There should be a holding tank that you fill up. Hope that
helps.
