Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning, as
specified in CARe AnD CLeAnIng section on pages 6 is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds, such as drip and ADC coffee, promote fuller extraction and provide rich,
full-bodied coffee. Regular grind will require slightly more coffee per cup to provide the
strength of a finer grind.
• Store coffee in a cool, dry place. Once coffee has been opened, keep it tightly sealed in
the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
• For optimum coffee, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavor.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavor immediately after
brewing.
• Small oil droplets on the surface of brewed, black coffee is due to the extraction of oil
from the coffee grounds. Oiliness may occur more frequently if heavily roasted coffees
are used. Overextraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your
Coffee Maker.
