Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee
• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta
beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly
more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.
• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans.
If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest
expiration date or a smaller quantity.
• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/
medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to
use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.
• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield
better-tasting coffee than tap water.
• Use approximately 1 Tablespoon of grounds for each cup of
coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds
when brewing decaf or flavored coffees.
• Make sure your coffeemaker is clean. See “Cleaning With
Vinegar” section.
• For Hotter Coffee: Before brewing, fill carafe or thermal travel
mug with hot tap water and let stand 1 minute; then empty
water and follow steps in “How to Make Coffee.”
Tips When Using the Nylon Mesh
Split-Filter Basket
TRY BREWING:
• Decaf on one side, regular coffee on the other
• Two types of flavored coffees (for example, vanilla on
one side, hazelnut on the other)
• Coffee on one side, hot tea on the other
NOTES: When brewing hot tea AFTER brewing coffee using the
nylon mesh split-filter basket, a residual coffee flavor may be
present. To remove this, leave the filter in the coffeemaker and
then run a clean cycle using vinegar/water. See “Cleaning With
Vinegar.”
Staining of the nylon mesh split-filter basket is normal and does
not affect product performance.
