BREWING A
BETTER CUP
• This Bonavita coffee brewer is
engineered to heat the brewing
water to within the 195°- 205°F
(91°-96°C) range. The heating
elements in the Bonavita coffee
brewers are designed to deliver
the correct temperature water
over the correct brewing time.
• For ideal extraction levels, brew
your coffee in 3-5 cup batches,
with fresh, ltered, cold water.
• Brewing time is about 5 minutes
for 5 cups of coffee. This will
allow for proper water ow and
saturation time.
• The quality of the coffee has a
great impact on brewed coffee’s
avor. Using freshly roasted
beans and grinding the beans
just before brewing are important
considerations. We recommend
using coffee within a couple of
weeks of its roast date. Air tight
storage will help extend your
coffee’s lifespan.
• Grinding coffee is another key
point on the timeline of avor
and perishability. Once coffee is
ground the air begins to attack
essential oils and other volatile
avor components. It’s only a
matter of hours before most of
the ground coffee’s aroma has
evaporated. Sometimes pre-
grinding can’t be avoided, but if
it can, delay until shortly before
brewing.
• For the most consistent results,
Bonavita recommends measuring
coffee by weight, using 10 grams
of coffee per cup.
• Measuring coffee by volume is
less consistent. For example, two
tablespoons of drip grind coffee
can weigh between 6 grams of
dark roast coffee to 11 grams
of light roast coffee. Bonavita
recommends beginning with two
level tablespoons of drip grind
coffee as a starting point with
your preferred roast, and adjust
according to your taste.
• Keep the lter basket, water tank,
and carafe clean.
• For maximum heat retention we
recommend rinsing the carafe
with hot water shortly before the
brew begins.
