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, 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 flavour degrades
quickly.
ELEMENT 3: GRIND
The grind is critical for proper flavour
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
flavour 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 Brewing Coffee, and
later adjust the amount to suit your taste.
NOTE:
The maximum capacity for ground
coffee is 15 scoops (15 tablespoons) for
this 60 oz. (twelve 5 oz. cups) coffeemaker.
Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.
