Overview

The Sunbeam Stainless Auto Brew Drip Filter (PC7900) is a 12-cup electronic coffee maker designed for home use, featuring a stainless steel finish and a glass carafe. This appliance is engineered to brew drip coffee and can also be used for brewing tea.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to brew coffee using a drip filtration method. It allows for both immediate brewing (manual operation) and programmed brewing (AUTO operation) to start at a preset time. Once brewing is complete, the coffee maker keeps the brewed coffee warm for up to 2 hours on its integrated keep warm plate. The anti-drip valve allows for temporary removal of the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of hot coffee without mess.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Capacity: 12 cups (maximum capacity).
  • Power Requirement: 230/240 Volt AC power outlet.
  • Display: LCD screen with a 24-hour clock.
  • Filter Type: Removable mesh filter basket, eliminating the need for paper filters.
  • Carafe: Glass carafe with a hinged lid.
  • Keep Warm Function: Maintains coffee temperature for up to 2 hours.

Usage Features:

  • LCD Control Panel: An easy-to-use LCD screen displays the time and allows access to all features, including setting the current time and programming a start time for brewing.
  • Removable Mesh Filter Basket: This feature allows the user to brew coffee without disposable paper filters. The basket is easily removable for cleaning.
  • Anti-Drip Valve: This valve prevents dripping when the carafe is temporarily removed from the hot plate during the brewing cycle, enabling users to pour a cup of coffee mid-brew.
  • Large Capacity: With a 12-cup capacity, the coffee maker is suitable for entertaining several guests or for households that consume a larger volume of coffee.
  • Glass Carafe with Hinged Lid: The carafe clearly shows the volume of filtered coffee, and its hinged lid facilitates easy, one-handed use.
  • Filter Basket Holder: Designed for easy removal of the mesh filter basket with minimal mess.
  • On/Auto/Off Button: This multi-function button allows for immediate coffee preparation, activation of the drip filter for preset brewing, or turning the appliance off.
  • Program Button: Used to program a specific start time for brewing, ideal for early mornings or entertaining.
  • Water Gauge: Clearly indicates the correct amount of water to add for the desired number of cups of coffee.
  • Pause and Serve Feature: While the anti-drip valve allows for pouring coffee mid-cycle, it is recommended to wait until the end of the brewing cycle for optimum flavor.
  • Brewing Tea: The appliance can also be used to brew tea by placing tea bags or loose tea in the removable mesh filter basket, provided all coffee grind traces are removed first.
  • Coffee Grind Recommendation: For best results, use finely ground coffee, specifically ground for drip filters. Fresh beans are recommended for optimal output.
  • Coffee Storage: Leftover coffee should be stored in an airtight container in a dry, cool, dark place.
  • Flavor Customization: Users are encouraged to experiment with different amounts of ground coffee or various coffee blends/brands to achieve their preferred flavor.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning After Each Use: All detachable parts, including the filter basket holder, mesh filter basket, glass carafe, and plastic spoon, should be washed in warm, soapy water. The exterior of the appliance should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth. A damp cloth should also be used to gently wipe the keep warm plate. Abrasive agents should not be used on any part of the appliance.
  • Mineral Deposit Removal: Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the water tank and internal tubes, affecting performance. Sunbeam Liquid Descaler is recommended for removal.
  • Alternative Descaling Method: An alternative descaling method involves filling the water tank with 2/3 water and 1/3 white vinegar. The solution is run through the brewing cycle until one cup has dripped, then the appliance is turned off for 15 minutes to allow the solution to work. After 15 minutes, the remaining solution is run through. This process is followed by rinsing the system with two full tanks of clean water.
  • Safety Precautions for Cleaning: Always disconnect the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning. Do not immerse the power cord, plug, or the main unit in water or any other liquid.
