THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
ELEMENT 1: WATER
Hot beverages are made up primarily of
water. If water doesn’t taste good from
the tap, it won’t taste good in your drink.
Cuisinart includes charcoal water filters in
its water reservoirs to remove chlorine,
bad tastes and odors, for the purest
flavors, every time you brew.
ELEMENT 2: COFFEE
The flavor of your beverage comes
from the coffee, tea, cocoa – or whatever
you’re brewing. To achieve the best taste,
always use the best ingredients. Select
fresh, high-quality beans or ground
coffee, and only the best single serve
capsules.
ELEMENT 3: GRIND
The grind of coffee, or the refinement
of tea leaves, is critical for proper flavor
extraction. Pre-ground ingredients in
top-quality single serve capsules ensure
excellent, flavorful results. When using
beans or pre-ground coffee to brew into
the carafe or use in the HomeBarista
TM
Reusable Filter Cup, the grind is just
as critical. If it’s too fine, over-extraction
will result in bitterness and may clog
the filter. If too coarse, maximum flavor
is not extracted. 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 Brewing Coffee
for the drip side or under Brewing with
a Reusable Filter Cup for the single serve
side. You can later adjust the amount to
suit your taste.
