Quality coffee comes from quality
ingredients. For the best coffee, you
should start with freshly ground cof-
fee from freshly roasted beans. The
beans can be purchased and stored in
an airtight container. Just prior to
brewing, remove the amount needed
and grind the beans. Once the bean is
broken, the intense, rich flavor begins
to deteriorate.
If using a blade-type coffee grinder,
shake it occasionally during grinding to
redistribute the whole beans for a more
uniform grind. Experiment to find the
right grind for your coffeemaker and
taste. If the beans are ground too fine-
ly, it will produce a bitter taste. If
ground too coarsely the coffee will
taste weak and watery.
Some specialty coffees recommend
using more than one tablespoon of
ground coffee per cup. Your new
coffeemaker is designed to brew good
quality coffee using less amounts of
ground coffee. One level tablespoon of
ground coffee per cup is recommend-
ed. Of course, the amount of ground
coffee used depends upon your
personal preference.
The quality of your drinking water will
affect the flavor of your coffee. If you
do not drink water straight from the
tap, do not use it to make coffee. If
your water has an off-taste or smell, or
if you have extremely hard water, use
bottled drinking water or filtered water
to make coffee. If the water is from the
tap, it should be freshly drawn and
cold for the best coffee flavor.
The amount of coffee to water
depends
upon personal preference. One
tablespoon of ground coffee per cup is
recommended.
Automatic coffeemakers generally use
a 5-ounce cup size. The coffeemak-
er’s Carafe and Reservoir are marked
in “cups” for easy measuring.
Try different flavored coffees and
flavored creamers available at supermar-
kets
or specialty coffee stores. Regular
coffee can be flavored at home. Add a
sprinkle of cinnamon* or a drop of a
pure extract–like almond, vanilla, or
mint–to the ground coffee before brew-
ing. For a mocha flavor, stir a spoon of
chocolate syrup or instant cocoa mix
to each cup of brewed coffee.
* (Too much cinnamon may clog the
filter causing Filter Basket overflow.)
