GETTING A SOMEWHAT HOTTER COFFEE
Pre-heat the carafe or cup for best results. A pre-heated carafe or cup will help
maintaining the coffee’s optimal temperature and keeping the coffee hotter for a
longer period of time. For this, fill the desired vessel with hot water for about 30
seconds. Then discard the water.
WATER QUALITY
Fresh, good-tasting water is essential for a perfect coffee. If your water contains
excessive sediment, or has an ‘off’ taste or odour, we recommend using filtered
water or bottled table water with low mineral content. Never use distilled or de-
mineralised water as this will affect the functioning of your coffee brewer and the
taste of your coffee.
ICED COFFEE
• Iced coffee is at its best when the coffee is brewed strong because the coffee is
diluted by the melting ice cubes. We recommend selecting ‘AMOUNT 9’ and
STRENGTH setting 8. This makes approximately 1.5 litres of brewed coffee,
enough for 4-6 servings.
• Once the brewing cycle is complete, transfer the coffee to a heatproof pitcher and
let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or
overnight.
• Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the coffee into the glasses, filling them to within 4
cm of the rim. Top each glass with cream, milk, syrups, or sweeteners as desired.
• If using granulated sugar as a sweetener, add while the coffee is hot to encourage
the sugar to completely dissolve.
• To avoid a diluted taste, you can also use regular strength coffee and serve it over
coffee ice cubes. Prepare coffee ice cubes by pouring cool coffee into ice-cube
trays and freezing.
