• Do not reuse coffee grounds; the best flavors are extracted during the first
brewing.
• If carafe filled with coffee is left on the “Keep Hot” plate, be sure to remove the
coffee grounds from the filter basket as soon as they have cooled slightly. This
will keep the coffee from developing a bitter taste.
• For a special occasion, whip some heavy cream with 1 or 2 tablespoons of
hazel nut, chocolate or almond liqueur. Use to top off each cup of coffee.
• Add a 2-inch piece of vanilla bean to the sugar bowl. You’ll be surprised at
how good it tastes.
• Keep your coffeemaker very clean; you’ll be pleased with the flavor.
• For iced coffee, brew the coffee with twice the normal amount of grounds. The
ice dilutes the coffee flavor.
• Make coffee ice cubes from left over coffee and brew your coffee at its normal
strength.
• Remember when pouring hot liquid into a glass, always put a spoon in the
glass before adding the hot liquid. This will prevent glass from breaking.

COFFEE BREWING TIPS
• Stir coffee in carafe before serving to evenly distribute the flavor.
• Coffee that is poured during brewing cycle may vary in strength from the
finished brew.
• Not sure how much coffee to use. Begin by using 1 level scoop of medium
grind coffee for each cup of coffee to be brewed.
• Never reuse coffee filters; they absorb flavors from the brewed coffee and will
give the newly brewed coffee a stale flavor. They may also tear and allow
grinds to drip into the freshly brewed coffee.
