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 odours, for the purest coffee
flavour, every time you brew.
Element 2: Coffee
While coffee is 98% water, all of the
flavour comes from the beans. To
achieve the same great taste you enjoy
at a coffee bar, buy only a two-week
supply of fresh coffee beans at a time.
Once the bean is broken, its flavour
degrades quickly. That’s why Cuisinart
grinds your beans just prior to brewing.
Element 3: Grind
A burr grinder produces maximum
flavour from coffee beans. The process
actually crushes the bean, to release
more of the oils and flavours that create
the best-tasting coffee. The texture of
the grind is critical. Too fine, and it may
clog the filter. Too coarse, and water
passes through too quickly to extract
the full coffee flavour. Your coffeemaker
is preset for medium, the optimal grind
for this type of brewing process.
Element 4: Proportion
Coffee that is too strong or too weak is
always a disappointment. Your
coffeemaker automatically grinds the
right amount of beans for the strength
level and number of cups you choose.
If using pre-ground coffee, start by
using 1 level scoop [1 tablespoon
(15 ml)] of ground coffee per cup, and
later adjust the amount to your taste.
