FLAVOR SYSTEM All coffee has the rich aromatic flavors we associate with a great cup of coffee, as well as the acidic, bitter flavors we associate with a bad
cup.
Commercial brewers have discovered that the "good" and "bad" flavors wash out of the grounds at a different rate, with the good flavors washing out faster
than the bad. The trick is to use only enough water to wash out the good flavors and leave the bad behind. The relatively small amount of water needed to do
this leaves a very strong cup of coffee, so it is necessary to add some water to bring it to a pleasant strength. The Coffee BarTM Flavor System does the work
for you. Using the proportions and grind recommended, simply set the Flavor System dial for the number of cups you intend to brew.
That's all there is to it! The Coffee BarTM Flavor System automatically measures the correct amount of water needed to pass through the grounds, and directs
the rest of the water into the carafe. INTRODUCTION The Cuisinart® Coffee BarTM Automatic Grind & BrewTM Coffeemaker is a coffee lover's dream. It
delivers the freshest coffee in the world. The secret? It grinds the beans right before it brews them. Just add coffee beans to the grinder basket, fill the
reservoir with water, put in your filter and press the "ON" button. In minutes, you'll have a wonderfully fresh pot of coffee. Another reason this coffeemaker
rewards you with pure coffee flavor is that it has the same brewing system found in coffee bars. It uses only the water needed to extract all the rich coffee taste
without extracting any bitterness. We know the Cuisinart® Automatic Grind & BrewTM will bring you years of pleasure. Nothing is more satisfying than a
rich cup of your favorite brew.
Simply set the red dial for the number of cups of coffee you are brewing, and the Flavor System ensures great coffee bar flavor. 4 THE QUEST FOR THE
PERFECT CUP OF COFFEE It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup: 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 the filter. If grind is too coarse, the
water will pass through too quickly and the desired flavors will not be extracted. The Automatic Grind & BrewTM is preset for a medium grind, the optimal
grind for this type of coffeemaker. Element 1: Water Coffee is 98% water. Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as important as the quality of the
coffee. If you filter your drinking water, filter the water for your coffeemaker. 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.
For hard water areas, we recommend using bottled water. The calcium in the water and the softeners used to combat it have a major impact on the extraction
of the coffee. Hard water will also accelerate calcium buildup inside the coffeemaker which, in turn, slows down brewing, affects the flavor of the coffee, and
ultimately may shorten the life of your coffeemaker..
