Four Factors to Great Coffee
To achieve the best results from your new Venus Coffeemaker, our coffee experts have provided some guidelines to brew
the best coffee. There are Four Factors which are key for you to achieve YOUR ideal cup. They are:The Water,The Coffee,
The Grind, & The Recipe.
The Water is one of the most fundamental and most often overlooked ingredients when making great coffee. The
water used should be fresh, clean and cool. Bottled or filtered, water free from undesirable smells or tastes like
sulfur or iron is preferable. Distilled water is not recommended as it may leave your coffee tasting dull or flat.
The Coffee. Buying fresh, good quality coffee beans is the second step to making great coffee. Any kind of coffee
beans when ground correctly, can be used in the Saeco Venus Coffeemaker. Your coffee's freshness in part determines
how flavorful the brewed coffee will be. Do not store coffee beans in your freezer or refrigerator as they tend to
take on the flavor of the foods stored in the refrigerator. To keep coffee fresh, store in an airtight container at room
temperature in a cool dark place. Protect your coffee from these 4 elements-Air, Light, Heat and Moisture, all of
which will greatly diminish its flavor. For the best results, coffee should be ground fresh for each use.
The Grind is the key to regulating how fast the hot water passes through the coffee and picks up all of those
wonderful coffee flavors. If the grind is too coarse, the water passes through too quickly and the brewed coffee
often seems weak.
