HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE

1.

A clean coffee maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.  Regular

cleaning is recommended, as specified in the “Cleaning Your Coffee

Maker” section of this manual.

2.

Always use fresh, cold water in your coffee maker.

3.

Fine grind coffee promotes fuller extraction and provides rich, full-tasting

coffee.  Regular grind will require slightly more coffee grounds per cup to

provide the strength of a finer grind.

4.

Store coffee grounds in a cool, dry place.  Once coffee has been opened,

keep it tightly sealed in refrigerator to maintain freshness.

5.

For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them just before brewing.

6.

Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will lessen coffee flavor.

7.

Reheating coffee is not recommended.  Coffee is at its peak flavor

immediately after brewing.

8.

Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed black coffee are due to the

extraction of oil from the coffee grounds.  Oiliness may occur more

frequently if heavily roasted coffee is used.  Over-extraction may also

cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your coffee maker.
