THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
ELEMENT 1: WATER
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that
water is as important as the quality of your
coffee. If water doesn’t taste good from
the tap, it won’t taste good in your coffee.
Cuisinart includes a charcoal water filter
to remove chlorine, bad tastes and odors
for the purest coffee flavor, every time
you brew.
ELEMENT 2: COFFEE
While coffee is 98% water, all of the flavor
comes from the beans. To achieve the
same great taste you enjoy at a coffee bar,
you need to use the same quality of
coffee. If you choose to grind your own
beans, buy them fresh and whole. Buy
only about a two-week supply at a time,
because once the bean is broken, its
flavor degrades quickly.
ELEMENT 3: GRIND
The grind is critical for proper flavor
extraction. If the grind is too fine,
over-extraction and bitterness will result.
Too fine a grind may also clog the filter.
If grind is too coarse, the water will pass
through too quickly and the maximum
flavor will not be extracted. When grinding
your own beans, we recommend a
medium-fine grind.
ELEMENT 4: PROPORTION
Coffee that is too strong or too weak
is always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions of ground coffee
in the instructions under MAKING
COFFEE, and later adjust the amount to
suit your taste.
NOTE:
A cup of coffee = 5 oz.
