Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
• A clean Coffee Maker is essential for making great tasting coffee. Regular cleaning,
as described in the Care & Cleaning Instructions and Descaling sections of this
Instruction Manual is highly recommended.
• Always use fresh, cold water in your Coffee Maker.
• Finer grinds, such as filter 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 flavour, buy whole beans and grind them finely just before brewing.
• Do not re-use coffee grounds since this will greatly impair coffee flavour.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended. Coffee is at its peak flavour immediately after
brewing.
• If adding milk to your coffee it is recommended to add hot milk, by adding milk from the
fridge this will reduce the temperature of your coffee down considerably.
• 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. Over extraction may also cause oiliness, indicating a need to clean your
Coffee Maker.
