HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE: 

z

 

A clean Coffeemaker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, 

as specified in CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER, is highly recommended. 

z

 

Always use fresh, cold filtered or bottled water in your Coffeemaker. 

z

 

Fine grind coffee (such as Gevalia) promotes fuller extraction and provides a rich, 

full-tasting coffee. Regular grind coffee will require slightly more coffee grounds per 

cup to provide the strength of a finer grind. 

z

 

Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed 

in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain its freshness. 

z

 

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

z

 

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

z

 

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

brewing. 

z

 

Small oil droplets on the surface of the brewed coffee is due to the extraction of oil 

from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffee 

is used.    Heavy use may also cause an increase in oil deposits, indicating a need to 

clean your Coffeemaker more frequently. 

 

CLEANING YOUR COFFEEMAKER 

z

 

CAUTION:

 

Always make sure Coffeemaker is unplugged 

before attempting to clean it. To protect against electric shock, 

do not immerse cord, plug or unit in water or other liquids

z

 

The outside of your Coffeemaker can be cleaned by wiping the surface with a damp, 

soft cloth. 

IMPORTANT: 

Never immerse the Coffeemaker in water or other 

liquids
