- USE AND CARE OF YOUR Coffee Brewer

COFFEE FUNDAMENTALS

Brewing delicious coffee is similar to cooking any favorite food. Both require a

good recipe. Proper coffee brewing requires quality equipment to precisely control

water temperature, volume, and brew time. The BUNN

coffee brewer assures

consistency in your recipe by controlling all of these elements. The only variables

remaining in the recipe are the grind and amount of coffee used.

The amount of ground coffee is generally determined by the grind. For best

results, we recommend a drip (medium) grind.

Hot water extracts many elements from the coffee. The amount of coffee used

and the amount of water passed through the coffee determines strength. Increasing

the amount of coffee results in a stronger beverage. Decreasing the amount of coffee

with the same amount of water results in a weaker beverage. Too much water and

too little coffee can result in over-extraction.

As the amount of coffee decreases, you’ll note an increase in the bitterness of

the beverage. This happens because the hot water begins to remove the undesirable

elements after all of the desirable elements have been extracted.

Fresh-ground coffee gives the best results. Always store ground coffee in a

cool, dry area away from other food items with strong odors. When stored in a

refrigerator, keep coffee in an airtight container.

BREWING TIPS

When coffee is properly brewed, the difference between the best quality ground

coffee and a poor quality ground coffee becomes very dramatic. Proper brewing

requires little effort with the BUNN

coffee brewer.

You’ll have a great coffee experience if you follow these tips:

1) Start with clean equipment.

2) Use fresh cold water.

3) Use BUNN

paper coffee ﬁlters for proper extraction.

4) Using a minimum of 2 ounces of fresh drip grind coffee for each full pot will

give you a consistently great pot of coffee with a full-bodied ﬂavor and aroma.

However, the real criteria is personal taste. Adjust the recipe until it suits

you. If you need to make a smaller batch, experiment with less water

and ground coffee. Minimum batch is 4 cups as indicated on the

decanter.

5) Keep the beverage at the correct serving temperature by setting the decanter

on the porcelain warmer. For the freshest ﬂavor, don’t hold brewed coffee on

the warmer for longer than an hour.

DECANTER HANDLE MAINTENANCE

Using a standard screw driver, periodically tighten the screw in the handle. Be

careful not to overtighten the screw.
