Element 1
WATER
Any hot beverage is made up primarily of water.
Often overlooked, the quality of the water is as
important as the quality of the coffee, tea or cocoa.
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 beverage. That’s why the Cuisinart
®
Compact
Single Serve has added a charcoal water filter that
removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors, for the
purest cup of coffee every time.
Element 2
COFFEE
While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor
should be from the coffee, tea or cocoa. To achieve
the same great quality you receive at coffee bars,
you need to use the same quality ingredients. By
using the K-Cup
®
, brought to you by some of the
most premium brands on the market, you can be
assured that you’re getting the finest, freshest
gourmet product with every cup you brew. If you
choose to use your own coffee in the included
My K-Cup
®
, make sure all your ingredients are
at their freshest.
Element 3
GRIND
The grind of coffee and cocoa, or the refinement of
your tea leaves, is critical for proper flavor extraction.
With the pre-measured, pre-ground ingredients
found in every K-Cup
®
, you can rest easy knowing
that it’ll brew perfectly each and every time, locking
in maximum flavor and freshness.
Element 4
PROPORTION
No matter which cup size you choose, the Cuisinart
®
Compact Single Serve, working in conjunction with
K-Cup
®
, always produces the perfect cup every
time. When grinding your own coffee and using it in
the included My K-Cup
®
, remember to add the
amount of ground coffee that corresponds to the
number of ounces being brewed.
