Brewing a Better Cup
Bonavita brewers are expertly engineered to take the guesswork out of brewing
the perfect cup of coffee and produce exceptional, consistent results with every

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 / coarse setting,
similar to coarse ground salt.
