After turning the coffeemaker on, press this button. It will begin to brew after 30 seconds and then pause. The coffeemaker will cycle on and off (every 30 seconds) for the first 5 cups of coffee. It will then complete the cycle for any remaining cups of coffee as a continuous operation. The Flavor+ ™ cycle extends brewing time versus the regular coffee brewing cycle.
