your new Cuisinart ClassicTM 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker looks on your counter, as it's brewing 12 cups of fabulous coffee.
The Cuisinart ClassicTM 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is a statement about how serious you are about your coffee and your kitchen. Enjoy the full
programmability, extreme ease of use, and great tasting coffee. a two-week supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its flavor
degrades very quickly. If it is not practical to buy small supplies, we recommend you separate larger amounts of beans into one- to two-week portions
immediately after purchasing, and freeze them in airtight containers. The best way to maximize freshness is to minimize exposure to air, light and moisture.
So, once removed from the freezer, beans should be maintained in a sealed container at room temperature, since damaging condensation occurs every time
the beans are removed from the freezer or refrigerator. Note that some coffee experts advise against freezing dark-roast beans because this can cause the oils
to coagulate, while other experts disagree. We suggest you experiment and decide for yourself. Element 3: Grind The grind is critical for proper flavor
extraction.
If the grind is too fine, overextraction and bitterness will result. Too fine a grind may also clog your filter. If grind is too coarse, the water will pass through
too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. We recommend a medium-fine grind. Element 4: Proportion The cups on the Cuisinart® coffeemaker
are 5 ounces. Add the amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the number of cups being brewed. Many coffee bars and the Specialty Coffee Association
of America recommend adding 2 rounded tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water. Some coffee manufacturers recommend using 1 tablespoon per cup. We
recommend using 1 tablespoon of ground coffee per cup, but use more or less to suit your taste. NOTE: The maximum capacity for ground coffee is 15
tablespoons for this 12-cup coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause overflow if the coffee is too finely ground. THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE It is generally agreed that
there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup: Element 1: Water Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as
the quality of the coffee. A good rule of thumb is that if your water doesn't taste good from the tap, it won't taste any better in your coffee. That's why Cuisinart
has added a water filter to the Cuisinart ClassicTM 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker.
