Hints for Great Tasting Coffee
1. A clean coffee maker is essential
for making great tasting coffee.
Regularly clean the coffee maker
as specified in the “Cleaning &
Maintenance” section. Always use
fresh, cold water in the coffee
maker.
2. Store unused ground coffee in a
cool, dry place. After opening a
package of ground coffee, reseal it
tightly or place into an airtight con-
tainer. DO NOT store ground coffee
in the refrigerator or freezer.
3. For an optimum coffee taste, buy
whole coffee beans and grind them
just before brewing. Keep unused
whole beans in an airtight container
in a cool dry place.
4. DO NOT reuse ground coffee since
this will greatly reduce the coffee’s
flavor. Reheating coffee is not
recommended as coffee is at its
peak flavor immediately after
brewing.
5. Buildup of oils may occur more
frequently if dark roasted coffees
are used. Clean coffee maker and
filter more often when using oily
beans.
