HINTS FOR GREAT TASTING COFFEE
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee.
Regular cleaning, as described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions
and Descaling sections of this Instruction Manual is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds promote fuller extraction and provide rich, full-bodied coffee.
Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the strength
of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly
sealed in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee flavor, buy whole beans and grind them finely
just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately
after brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction
of oil from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily
roasted coffees are used. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating
a need to clean your Coffee Maker.
